kind of a Japanese deba-bocho, but more graceful and longer. Those are beauties
The shape is far more Santoku.
Man I don’t speak Japanese.....what did I do?
A Deba is a fish knife, fairly tall, and in Japanese tradition usually has a single beveled blade. It's a stout blade. Unlike your kinves, a Deba usually has a more pronounced point.
A Santoku is a general purpose kitchen knife for slicing, dicing and mincing and has more of a blunt, dropped sheepsfoot type point like yours. Anymore they're mostly made with a 50-50 bevel rather than a traditional single bevel.
