It should also be noted that ownership/import/trade of such things is highly illegal in some countries. At least in germany i know for sure it is. Considering this before selling/giving away such an item might save some trouble for both parties.

Btw. covering blades with lacquer seems to be not unusal in japan. I recently bought a new (but traditional made) japanese cooking knife and except for the edge it was also covered with lacquer.

Best Regards,
