Dreams don't quite cut it imo. Tempting knife nonetheless :)

It's such a pity these aren't Damascus steel. Any smith worth his salt can spot that. What's more, any metallurgist knows that you can't buy new Damascus steel ANYWHERE. They are pretty though, and much cheaper than something genuine.

What's the thickness of the blade at the spine measured at the base and at the tip? How slice-y is it compared to something like a Tojiro DP?

From Zhen's website in relation to their 67-layer damascus: "The Damascus Series knives are made of Damascus VG-10 steel (HRC 60-62) steel imported from Japan with durable and balanced handles. The blades are made by welding 67 layers of steel together, creating a high quality blade with a keen edge, and a very unique and beautiful dragon pattern. These layers wear at a slightly different rate, causing a very fine micro-serration which produces an edge that stays extremely sharp for a longer period of time. The knives are designed with the professional cook in mind." My only concern would be pushing the hardness to HRC 62 for VG-10 would cause it to be prone to chipping. I own a chef's knife from another line of vg-10 that is also rated as "HRC 60-62," and have had no chipping issues yet, several months on with moderate use, almost exclusively on vegetables or meat (no bones). Pretty happy with it. Here is a link to most similar knife I could find on the Zhen website, for comparison (using the 8" chef knife): https://www.zhenpremiumknife.com/collections/damascus-series/products/japanese-vg-10-67-layers-damascus-steel-chef-knife-8-inch-cutlery-brown

Where is this made? What are the dimensions of the nakiri knife (including weight).

Any information on HRC? I'm also curious about the Damascus—in the description, it says "67 layers of VG-10", but from my understanding that's pretty uncommon and it's more likely to be a core of VG-10 with nickel or a softer steel used for the Damascus patterning. Which is not to say it might not be an amazing knife! Anyone know which is the case here?
