hololive

Just to dispel the illusion re: price for good, see my other comment here. Similar knives to this without the branding frippery (but still with the decorative pattern welded blade made of the same material) are worth about $70, retail.

This is undoubtedly a novelty piece, and not a high quality knife.

That's not to say "low quality" knives are necessarily useless. Many millions of people successfully cut food in their kitchens every day with dollar store level cutlery that would make any professional chef eat his toque before touching any of them. But that doesn't excuse this one costing $280, or having dumb design decisions baked right into it...
