Review on Tamahagane San SN 1116H Nakiri Vegetable by Jennifer Moore

This is NOT Usuba. This is Nakiri. The box says Nakiri, it's obviously double beveled, and the accompanying promotional leaflet shows Tamahagane's entire line of knives, and they do NOT make Usuba-Bocha. Buy in person from a reputable dealer where you can try the blade. I will never buy a high quality Revain knife again as the subtle differences and customer service was a nightmare. If I buy a hand-forged, high-carbon, several-hundred-dollar knife, it will never be from Revain; I got my first Usuba from Revain for Christmas 2010. Now, in November 2011, I finally got my money back for the broken blade and got a cheap usuba to play with. Revain sells a "Nakiri" for $38, it's actually a decent stainless steel Usuba, I think it's mismarked for export).
