I just came back from this place, I think its the same guy, I saw him demolishing a bunch of stuff and saw the price, Decided to buy a pair. Hope it'll do justice when I get back home!
omg. I think I've seen this guy before. He's definitely from the kansai area. There was a crazy old man selling sen en knives at a monthly market in Kyoto. lol
Yeah, he is from there. He was insulting everyone telling we weredumbasses if we didn't't buy the knifes so i bought one of his knifes. Sharp, but, it has oxide everywhere.
It's carbon steel, you have to wash and DRY it after you use it, otherwise it will rust. $10 for a knife of that quality is unbelievable. A decent Japanese knife will cost you six times that much in the West.
good salesman..high carbon blades..damn sharp!

It's probably carbon steel rather than stainless. Carbon steel is/can be made much sharper and hold an edge longer.

@aficiomaquinas just put vegetable oil on it and it shouldn't rust
