Truth in advertising..what?
« on: October 31, 2021, 01:50:02 AM »

  Perhaps you have seen the ads for the "Husk Japaknives Viking blade".  I have to admit that initially, I was
    duped into thinking it may have been made in Japan.. (read the label)
 
 Perhaps it is the advertising which calls it a Japanese Knife.. 

" Husk Viking Knives, Butcher Knives, Handmade Fishing Filet & Bait Knife Japanese Chef Knife Boning Knife Japan knives Meat Cleaver for Kitchen or Camping (Silver)"
   
   I don't know where I got that idea. Well come to find out, it wasn't  forged in Japan, and not forged by Vikings! 
    I believe Vikings are in short supply in China...and Viking bladesmiths in even shorter supply..

  Here a bladesmith critiques the knife and re-creates a duplicate, but much superior blade.

If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
