Aritsugu Special (Tokusei) | Old stock, made in the 1980s/1990s

This particular item has a beautiful ferule inte blond buffalo horn, not black as in the picture.

A very rare deba with a full 230 mm blade length. The knife is brand new in its original box and has never been used. We acquired it after it had been untouched at a distributor for 30 years! The blade is exceptionally well-forged, which is evident from how perfectly even the ura (hollow side) is, despite the large size of the blade.

The handle, made of magnolia wood and paired with a black buffalo horn bolster, emphasizes tradition and elegance.
