I restrained from getting from getting Chinese knives for a long time but in the last year I've acquired a few I have to say for the price the quality is definitely outstanding of the examples that I have. The Kizer Mini Grouper and the Real Steel Sacra are a couple of my favorites

I wonder if you would have a better understanding of the quality after prolonged use and sharpening.
I know nothing of Chinese knives, so again, I'm just wondering. ::hmm::

I wish there was an easy way I could determine the steel used (vs. claimed) and Rockwell hardness in overseas knives but there isn’t so the leap of faith in advertising continues.
