Japanese Knife?

Post by Capt. Farrel »

Got this one for a steal. The seller said it´s probably of japanese origin. It has no markings whatsoever and I suspect it might be made in China. ::hmm:: What do you think?

The first thing that popped into my mind is the land which shall not be named so I went and dug out my knife roll and snapped a few pictures. Take a look at these five, all made in China. They're very fond of the match strike look, plus those blades are very Chinese. The bottom knife with the yellow handles is a Road Runner.

I have bought it second hand, so there was no indication pricewise. ::shrug::
Guess I will keep it because of the weird looking blades anyway...
