Yoshikane 180mm Deba V2 Suminagashi W Saya & Box

Large 180mm deba with custom fit saya and original box made in Sanjo Niigata by Yoshikane. Cladding is a hand forged suminagashi with V2 carbon steel cutting edge. V2 steel is made by Takefu steel and is similar to shirogami 2 except for the addition of small amounts of chromium.

Not many of these come around, Yoshikane’s forging and heat treatments are really excellent and their in house grinding is excellent as well. A great opportunity to own a top shelf Sanjo knife here...
