Is this made in Japan? I really hope the blade shape is better, just a little slimmer on the tip would make this knife kook so much better.

EPEEYes, Makiri is made in Japan by blacsmith Ikeuchi. The slimmer tip would indeed make Makiri perform better. Since it is a traditional fisherman knife, they needed a ticker spine so it could be used as a deba to cut fish on the spot if needed, and also it was supposed to be used for rougher tasks on a boat, so the thinner tip would be more prone to chipping/breaking.
