The worse 😫 ever diamond steal I've work with is fake and it mess.up.my japanese knife never.again will buy fromthis

This Review is From Geat Britain I thought it would have been Japanese but it says on the box MADE IN CHINA . ( But It was delivered Quickly. ) I have now seen Advertisements from America and it is Available for as little as. $13 &14 in there shops so why is it so expensive here. I can only think its becours of air fraite costs. Only used it once so i car't coment on its lasting Quality. Iv'e Added a photo where it says. Made in china. It's Now 29-12-23 I have been useing it OCCASIONALLY for the past 4 month's and it just about worn out so in my mind its very poor Quality.

You would assume this product to be Japanese but it’s not it’s made in China ..could have bought this item much cheaper.

I received this as a gift but the giver was most apologetic because he believed he was buying a Japanese made product. However, although it says on the box Manufactured by Kota Japan, in tiny letters on the corner of the box it says made in china. Having said that, first impressions are good and it seems to work well. Time will tell how durable it is.
