Tojiro DP VG10 Santoku 170mm 3 Rivet
If not, why is it so cheap? $45.00 on chef knives to go.
Is this a bad knife to buy?

Factory made. Doesn't mean it's bad at all. Just mass produced with very little human involvement. There's still a human aspect to it though.
The DP Gyuto used to be recommended a lot. But the price increased a bunch, making the value decline. Still a good option.

Jesus pro tip, id say 75% of questions have been asked before, instead of making a new thread for every question, try checking search first. I put Tojiro DP and searching titles and I got 3 pages of threads just on that knife line
I’m a big fan of Tojiro under $100. Great for work and great for the wife. Solid price point as well for the F&F.
I’ve broken down thousands of pounds of protein with my Tojiro utility knife. Thinning it wasn't the most fun but I’ve only had to do it once so far. Mine was the normal DP line so it has more weight to it. I had bought one of the 3 rivet ones for a coworker. Works pretty well and is a bit thinner BTE. I’d prefer the one with a bolster though.

I have Tojiro DP A-1 F-301 VG10 Santoku 170mm with two rivets, the price is around 30$, it's pretty good.
A workhorse with a solid construction, thin behind the edge and super easy to sharpen. It's a vg10 core with stainless clad, hence the low price. I don't think you will regret this buy

Correct
It’s a thin stock stamped VG10, I had one and it is good for the price. VG10 is not exactly some super steel these days, pretty normal price for the construction.
