Kin Knives = Japanese steel. Made in Japan. 🇯🇵

There are numerous counterfeit Japanese knives on the market. Companies that squeeze through the advertising standards authority somehow and it is the most frustrating thing in the world!!! These companies that are piggy-backing off the Japanese craftsmanship reputation and producing mass produced cr*p knives. 

If you want authentic Japanese knives DON’T BE FOOLED by “Japanese style” and “Japanese knife sets; inspired by Japanese craftsmanship” - these knives will most likely be made from standard stainless steel or sneakily made from Japanese steel but the knives are mass produced in China, Taiwan, Lithuania… 🤬 

Rant over. Be wise. Buy authentic.

The fingerprints on this cabinet seem to be ten times worse than the sticky ones my 4 year old daughter makes at home! It looks lovely but those damn fingerprints….! 🤬
