I don't think it's that great, it reads like all marketing. It looks like a Hacksaw and a Chinese Cleaver had a baby.
Japaknife? - That's just a made-up word, to make you think it's made in Japan.
Under where it is made....it doesn't say that, it only say Steel sourced from Japan, America, Germany and China, might as well say Planet Earth Steel. It's probably Made in China. Not saying China makes bad steel, it's the fact that it doesn't specify it....why not? Where is the factory? Where are the blacksmiths located? Which goes back to using the letters JAPA to trying to fool you thinking it is Japanese made.
Under material - it gives a hardness score of 59-66....what is a ridiculously wide score. I wouldn't be surprised if it's more 59...MAX
A knife isn't a new invention, trying to reinvent a wheel that is basically perfected using substandard material with vague origin and vague specification on the steel. This screams junk to me in knife term.
The design is fine I guess but a knife lives and die by it's material and the material used here is unknown. Most likely crap. If it's good, decent steel then it will be screaming from the rooftop and telling you what it is.
