So i have this deba that was sold by Kiya. Its 6.5". one of the Kanji means gold. The blade is Kitaeji or pattern welded. Now unfortunately the previous owner hamfisted up the blade pretty bad especially the back inch and a half or so where it was ground pretty aggressively. Now what I am trying to figure out is if its worth it for me to send it out to be fixed and reground to correct the bevel. You can see the second bevel pretty well in the second picture. its pretty aggressive and going to need a hell of a regrind to correct I want to turn around and sell it as its a right handed blade and im a southpaw. im also trying to get an idea as to what it may have cost new or its replacement value now? or what i might be able to get out of it repaired. the Kiya website isn't much help because its not geared up as a storefront. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.
