Hey knife people,
Has anyone heard of Tokusei Yukinaga Kuro Tsuchime knife? I have been looking at it for some time and have tried to look up info about it but have not managed to find out anything about it.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am also posting the link of the knife.

Just a heads-up, that vendor is full of red flags.

That knife is commonly available in other knife stores because it's a common OEM knife and they are around $150-200 new at most; never $600, even in Canadian dollars.

Furthermore, this store always have massive discounts on items year long, special occasion or not. This can trick unwary buyers into thinking their items are more valueble than they are; huge red flag for me.

Same knife but from a more reputable store here: Tsunehisa AS Kurouchi Gyuto 210mm

Thanks, I did find it odd as I tried searching but could never find any info on the knife Smith or the sharpener.
Masakage koishi or anryu are actually what I have been wanting to buy in the as kuro hammered line but they have been unavailable so started looking at other knife makers.

Thanks for the help
