**Q: Country of manufacture**
A: My knife box label says the knife is made in China.

**Q: What steel this knife is made of? don't tell 'high-quality ... bla-bla". just provid the yype (aus-10, vg5, etc**
A: The blade is made of 1.4116 German Stainless Steel hardened to between 55 and 57 on the Rockwell C scale. The edge is hand polished to appropriately 15 degrees on each side using the Honbazuke method. I have had mine for at least a year and it is as new. I would not run my finger across the blade unless I wanted cut.
