It means no risk for our customers.The knife is manufactured in our state-of-the-art factory in Yangjiang, China. The blade material is Japanese VG10 Super Steel 67-layer Damascus imported directly from Takefu in Japan, which boasts a very respectable Rockwell Hardness HRC of 61 +/- 1. Each knife is painstakingly crafted over a 60-day manufacturing cycle time by our most skilled artisans using the strictest German SOP's (Standard Operating Procedures). Further, each product is 100% quality inspected prior to being made ready for shipment. Yangjiang is famous as the capital of knife and cutlery manufacturing in China and has been for over 1500 years. This is one of the reasons why we built our factory here. It means we are able to offer you incredible value, using the same materials as used in the more established brands like Shun, Miyabi, Yaxell etc. at a fraction of the cost.TIP: If you are looking for a product only made in Japan, try brands such as Shun, Tojiro, Yoshihiro, Miyabi or Global. Hope my answer has been helpful for you. see less

• Hi. Does it comes with the lether sheet store protection.?Thank you.
  The knife comes in a cardboard presentation type box with dense foam cut outs. There is no other sheath or form of protection.

• Is it actually 67 layers or is it actually 67hrc hardness? (67 does not divide by two very well)

The blade itself has a Tsunami Rose mirrored Damascus pattern and really does look stunning.After heat treatment the blade is Cryogenically cooled making the knife even more resistant to staining and rust, and the resulting Rockwell Hardness is HRC 61.The knife is sharpened to around 12-degrees per side for maximum sharpness and also outstanding edge retention.We used these Japanese materials (which are one of the best on the market for high end kitchen knives) so you can have razor sharpness with outstanding edge retention, but also get the benefits of rust and stain resistance.The handle uses a military grade G10 material which has outstanding mechanical properties including fantastic heat, cold, moisture and impact resistance and also has great wear resistance properties. It has a classical 3-rivet design with the center one being a 3-metal (brass, copper and stainless steel) Japanese Mosaic rivet. The handle is rounded and is very comfortable to hold.The bolster has a tapered bolster making it ideal for Chefs who like to use the pinch-grip when chopping, slicing and dicing.I hope my answer above has been helpful. see less
