This 7 inch fillet and boning knife is being used as a sharp, well balanced trimming tool for brisket, BBQ meats, and other precise cuts. The high carbon stainless blade is described as very sharp out of the box, with good heft and a comfortable handle, and the same line is said to hold an edge well. The main caution is that it is not flexible, so it suits deboning and meat trimming better than fish work. The listing is also criticized as misleading about Japanese origin, since the knife is made in China and the steel is framed as Japanese. High carbon care matters too, because rust is a concern without washing, drying, and oiling.
The knife can be very sharp out of the box and can work well for trimming meats like brisket and steaks.
The knife can have good weight and balance, which can help with controlled slicing and prep work.
The discount appears to apply at checkout, which can lower the final purchase price.
The knife can be useful for deboning and precise cuts, including saving hide during butchering.
The listing can be misleading about Japanese origin, since the product is reported as made in China.
The knife can rust because high carbon steel is prone to corrosion without careful washing, drying, and oiling.
The knife may be less flexible for fish, since it is described as not flexible and more suited to finesse trimming.
The deal can feel like a non-discount because price history reportedly shows it staying near the same level and being regularly on sale.

Any other questions?
The style is a Japanese fish knife. There is a big difference between a japanese fishing knife and a american fishing knife. Japanese style are very rigid and american style is very flexible.
Stating that it is Professional Japanese Fish Knives for Meat Poultry Cutting MEANS that it is a very hard blade that has no flex. It refers to the style of the blade not where the blade was made.
The blade is made in CHINA... cause it says so.
But I completely agree with you... this add misleads you to believe it is made in Japan. And Japan has some very good steel, unlike China. The blame... IMHO, belongs with Amazon for allowing these types of adds that are very miss leading.

I guess the average American consumers are pretty dull. Can't appreciate a good Chinese knife for what it is.
