I do not know if that e-bay item is legit or not.
But I know you can get a R2 Santoku at 11000Yen from a Rakuten Shop:

How can it be bad if it is "hummer" forged?

The knives forged with the H3 aren't as good as knives forged with the earlier models or original Humvee. Their soul and carbides don't work harden as well.
