@leoliu08 Forge welded steel (damascus) is inferior to todays homogenous crucible steels. And even Japanese laminated steels.

WOW, i'm a chef with 8 years experience and i've never seen a knife that can withstand such an attack from a block of wood and still be able to slice though newspaper effortlessly. I know Damascus knives could do it, but that's definitely not Damascus.

How does one get in touch with the knife maker?

Very cool

I am a chef and collect cutlery from all over. I never seen a knife perform like that, regardless of steel. My $300-$1000 knives with professional sharpening cannot do that. i am speechless. I'd like to see them do that with yoshi blades or those $50-$100 knives they sell on those infomercials. These knives would ridiculously sell like crazy all over the world. What's with this guy selling at a flea market!!! and for only $28???

@alexsjunk Because the japanese take a lot of pride in there knife making and are very good at what they do.

@chieffy35 He sells the knives in the Osaka/Kyoto area flea markets. I took this video in 2007 but when I went back in 2010 he wasn't there. So I'm not positive he is even selling anymore.

I bought one of his nicer cooking knife and he gave me one of the knives he uses in the video for free, so the cost was about $28.00 for both knifes.
