Title: Worth the money
Review: I ordered this Deba because I hope to catch some large, 15-40 lb , fish this summer. I have read some about Japanese kitchen knives and this one, because of its heavy blade and sharp(after you sharpen it yourself)edge should be good for cleaning those fish.The steel, 1K6, is not the highest quality but is a decent knife steel and can be forged to a Hrc 58-59 which will hold an edge without chipping on the fish bones.I re modeled the edge down to a 20 degree edge. The other side is flat, so this allows you to get it very sharp.Overall, I think it's a good buy for a fish cleaning knife, specially with the size of my catches.
