Hi there,
I am new to the forum but not for Japanese kitchen knives - I have a big collection which I will happily share one day.
Right now I have a question: There is a 330mm Yanagiba, Super blue steel on ebay. I do not exactly need it (I have a fantastic Watanabe blade with self-made Snake wood octagon handle). But I still want it - I like long knives, and I fancy having Super Blue knife even if it means absolutely nothing in terms of performance.
The only problem is that at $300 it seems too cheap. And my question - what can be wrong with such knife? Can it be a Japanese loo-alike Chinese made? Bad manufacturing/finishing quality? I do not mind if it comes not so sharp - I will take care of it.
