  2. HERE IS ONE OF THE ONLINE REVIEWS:

    Style: 6.5 Inch Nakiri KnifeVerified Purchase

    Everything in the advertising led me to believe I was purchasing an authentic Japanese knife. The product description includes phrases like “Japanese kitchen knife” and “made of Japanese VG-10 steel,” which strongly implies that the knife itself is made in Japan. The presentation feels misleading. If you're looking specifically for a Japanese-made knife, be aware that this is not one.

    When the package arrived, I was deeply disappointed to see it clearly marked Made in China. While the steel may (or may not) be of Japanese origin, the knife itself is manufactured elsewhere — an important detail that should have been made clearer upfront.

    It is sharp! I was easily able to shave off arm hair (like with an old-fashioned straight razor) with the knife right out of the package. I will keep it because it is so sharp.

  3. I'll stand my old Charles filet knife against any other. A rather mild steel, quite unassuming, with hickory handle.

    Yes, I've used fancy high carbon blades, I own several, but they don't slice that much better and for the price, are a lesser value.
