I’ve seen some other versions and a few other crazy designs of his as well. :)

Same pics in links above...

I figured it was a mix up in translation and that was supposed to be yen.

Prices on that site are not in Yen. It’s a site in Taiwan - $17000 Taiwanese dollars equals about $596 US. ;)

If they were that price in yen, then they would cost $20 or so less than the Spyderco version! ;)

China uses the “yuan”, Japan uses “yen”. :)

Potato, potato.

Starts with a Y, ends with an N. Close enough for us poor white folk, with no education. :p

To be fair, Japanese Yen and Korean Won both are derived from the Chinese word for dollar[Yuan].
I don't work with them much, so I confuse terms between different asian nations quite often.
