These deba have a very impressive and substantial in-hand feel: heavy and very forward balanced. They have a nice proportionally-sized handle that helps balance things out. The octagonal burnt chestnut handles are very comfortable and retain grip very well when wet. The V2 steel takes a very nice edge, sharpens easily, and has good edge retention as well. When I began testing this series, I was really impressed with the cutting ability of these knives and how easy they were to sharpen. These are carbon knives, so they will need to be cared for as such. They can rust if left wet and\/or dirty and will develop a patina over time. The cladding on these knives is not as reactive as many I have seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e V2 Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal Burnt Chestnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon Clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right-Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 138mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28.35mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23.88mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 203mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.77mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.84mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.78mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 453g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wakui","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7066090501,"sku":"KOC195DBV2ONR","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/products\/img_4789.jpeg?v=1444782584","url":"https:\/\/www.japaneseknifeimports.live\/products\/kochi-195mm-kurouchi-deba","provider":"Japanese Knife Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
