I believe this is foreign-made. I tested it on kelp and paper, and it cut smoothly. Size: Length 20cm, Blade section 9cm. Please note that there may be some slight variations. The finish is not aesthetically pleasing. It appears to have been roughly ground. While it's not suitable for intricate and delicate cuts, it should be fine for general use. I will ship it via secure, anonymous delivery. I will use recycled packaging materials.
