Deba 180mm - need help

[AlexZin]

My friend want a single-bevel deba 180mm. Budget US$300. I have zero experience with debas. And I would very much appreciate your help and advice. Here is a short list (selected mostly based on the reputation of a blacksmith). But open for any other suggestion.

MAZAKI DEBA 180MM WHITE 2, Mazaki Deba 180mm White II Steel blade Japanese Fillet Knife
Myojin White 2 Deba 180mm, Myojin White 2 Deba with Wenge wood handle, 150/ 165/ 180/ 210 mm
Mioroshi Deba 180mm by WATANABE, Mioroshi Deba 180mm
MASASHI KOBO DEBA 180MM WHITE 2, MASASHI KOBO Deba 180mm White 2 Steel Japanese Forged Knife

For your input and recommendation thank you very much in advance

He’s looking for hon deba or mioroshi deba, thickness is different.

Masamoto KK series comes just over the budget for 1800mm at JCK. Masamoto is known for good single bevels.

Just kidding, masamoto does great job on single bevel knife.

Masamoto now is very different in quality from Masamoto back then. Many chefs have said and felt the change.

Since your location is in Cyprus, I would email the guys at, say, cleancut.eu or japanesenaturalstones.com or the like, and ask them about 180mm deba's of the relevant laterality.
