is this knife manufactured in china?

Hello Patrick, thank you for this important question and considering our Zelite Infinity Brand.The knife is manufactured in our state-of-the-art factory in Yangjiang, China. The blade material is imported directly from Germany and is made from ThyssenKrupp High Carbon Stainless Steel, grade `X50 Cr MoV 15' which boasts a very respectable Rockwell Hardness HRC of 56 +/- 2. Quality is the "life-blood" of our Brand and Business and we take this responsibility Very Seriously which is why we back our product with a "15yr risk-free guarantee. 100% Satisfaction or your money back, no questions asked". It means no risk for our customers.Each knife is painstakingly crafted over a 45-day manufacturing cycle time by our most skilled artisans using the strictest German SOP's (Standard Operating Procedures). Further, each product is 100% quality inspected prior to being made ready for shipment. Yangjiang is famous as the capital of knife and cutlery manufacturing in China and has been for over 1500 years. This is one of the reasons why we built our factory here. It means we are able to offer you incredible value, using the same materials as used in the more established brands like Wusthof, Zwilling Henckels etc. at a fraction of the cost.TIP: If you are looking for a product only made in Japan, try brands such as Shun, Tojiro, Yoshihiro, Miyabi or Global. Products only made in Germany, try Wusthof or Zwilling Henckels.Hope my answer has been helpful for you.

What is the grind angle of the edge for sharpening?

Angle is 15-18 degrees per side. The angle can be altered if you prefer sharper (less than 15 degrees) and more edge retention (greater than 18 degrees). We recommend regular honing to ensure the edge remains nice and sharp - fine grit ceramic honing rods are a good choice. We also recommend to only cut on soft cutting surfaces like wood or plastic, not hard surfaces like stone, glass or ceramic as this will quicken the dulling process and put the fine edge at risk of damage. Hope this helps

i see the 4'' paring comes with a sheath, is there a belt clip on it, or could one be put on the sheath? no details about sheath.

The sheath does not have a belt clip unfortunately. The sheath is mainly for protection in the kitchen environment rather than the outdoors. Hope this helps

Hi, yes the Alpha-Royal German Series 7” Nakiri is double beveled. The v-shaped edge is sharpened to a 15-18 degree angle per side and is perfect for right or left-handed use.
