So whats this Nakiri?

[erikz]

I found this in my father in law's kitchen, it seems pretty soft steel, and it's quite dented. Anyone any idea what the Kanji (or is it Hanzi) says?

I do suspect it to be Chinese.

That's hilarious -- according to the first Google result, translated, we have the following:
"Seki collar warehouse (Sekitsubazou) work sashimi knife 2 regular company of fire fighters set 30043"

Awwww, poor little fella!

It say's "someone mistook me for a bone cleaver"
and "I need some TLC"

It actually is a 20 dollar knife

I'm afraid he can't let it go, its irreplaceable and has loads of sentimental value attached to it.

It says '$20 knife' right there on the ferrule...

Nothing wrong with a $20 knife. It just means that he got a bargain. Many people spend a lot more for things that they like a lot less.

However, there IS something wrong with letting it suffer with that dinged up edge. It's crying out for a refurb.

Im going to ask him to let me see if I can help him out with that. He's in Japan atm, so I can't ask him right now.
