ThomasSPI tested the metal with a spectrometer, compared it with several original seki japanese knives. No resemblance. But there were many similarities compared to cheap Chinese watch cases. I can’t declare it Chinese, but it’s still unacceptable for its quality.
djepertoI’m going to do the devil’s advocate or just a plain old fowl but could it just mean that the raw material is from China ? I’m trying to see every possibility here
thanks anyway for sharing with us, it’s always interesting to have people’s insights :)
