Surprisingly good!
Bought this on a whim as I was looking for a replacement for an old kitchen devil. Despite what it says, from what I can gather from the packaging it is made in China from Japanese steel and distributed from Latvia. To be honest I didn't expect much, but fit and finish is good at this price, it is light in the hand, fairly well balanced and the high carbon steel takes a fierce edge. Being a high carbon steel there were some minor stains on the blade when it arrived, but these came off with a scrub in hot soapy water, and are a reminder to clean and dry the knife properly after each use!
