[Pete1977]

I saw it on ebay.

it looks like an endura, but look at the serrations.
is it a knockoff?

Pete, it appears to be a rather badly worn Delica.

I hate to disagree with you my friend, I thing it is well worn.

I've never seen serrations that rounded.

It's been loved

 

[Artfully Martial]

Whoa. The serrations almost like friendly.

 

[Pete1977]

I bet there's a lot of life in that knife still. I wonder what the steel is. aus-6?

looks like he/she tried a traditional stone to sharpen it on.

Yep, probably AUS-6. The auction says AUS-8, so maybe that's the case, but it seems unusual to me... Aren't SS Delicas made using AUS-6? Maybe they were previously made with AUS-8?
There's nothing wrong with stone-sharpening such a knife -- it actually works just fine. It wears down the serrations a little quicker than other methods such as fine ceramic rods, but I'd be interested to know who actually takes the time (and it does take some time) to sharpen their serrations anyway.
Peace.
