My first Deba is a Kanetsune 165mm white steel, Damascus. I like it - enough to put one of Stefan's handles on it - but now have a longer Suisin and a Yoshikane for shorter work. Some of you tried this knife during a passaround and I think it was well regarded. Great on trout and redfish. It's seen a chicken. Or two. Lightly used since last visit to Jon's for tune-up and sharpening.

I don't remember what I'm into it for but will part with it for $150. Great value for first Deba and/or first SB. Includes saya, no pin.
$150 PP will get it shipped, insured, USPS Priority. Buyer to pay any additional PP fees.
