    Most are made from Swedish steel but I have seen the occasional one made from Japanese steel looks pretty genuine to me why would anyone go to such lengths to produce something so difficult even for the most experienced maker. PS besides the seller zigzagpapa is a very well know and well respected.

    Not all of them were stamped R. Saito.
    It would be very cost prohibitive to make a fake that looks like the real thing.

    Spot on. The cost of making a fake would be equal to making a real one.
