Measurements
Length: 133mm
Height: 42mm
Spine: 4.8mm/2.6mm/1mm
Weight: 101g

Iron clad with carbon core. No box.
Pretty good steel. Easy to sharpen and takes a refined edge. Kind of reminds me of Toyama blue #2. Hard to see the cladding line since I gave it a migaki finish, to maximize performance. Thinned it quite a bit. Spine is also polished. Very good cutting performance.

Sold as a deba, but it's definitely more like a tall petty. Extremely thin grind, nail flexing at the edge. Haven't used it as a deba, just cut a lot of vegetables, and it's effortless.
