Sorry to advise you that your photo shows not knives, but SAWS, and they are all Japanese, not Chinese. Getting back to the knives in this thread, I am quite familiar with the carpentry traditions of East Asia, having observed traditional artisans at work in various countries and in fact using a good number of tools from the various cultures in my antiques restoration practice -- so I stand by my initial assessment.
