How do you sharpen this?

In terms of sharpening, whetstones are the BEST way, although they require a little skill, but scary sharp edges are easily attainable. We would advise 1000 grit and 6000 grit, although you can also go even finer. Soak the 6000 grit side in water for less time than the 1000 grit. Here is a good resource on how to do this, including suggestions on motioning the proper angle: http://www.japanesechefsknife.com/howtosharpen.html

Is this a carving knife or a bread knife - shows "Bread Knife" when looking at the descriptions on the left of picture

Thank you for your interest. This Gladiator Series 12-in knife is a carving knife (but there's no reason you can't use it for bread too if you want).

Is it dish washer safe?

Thank you for your question. Here are some tips for care and maintenance for your knife: Best to wash by hand with a small amount of detergent. Dry immediately with an absorbent towel. Don’t use soaps with citrus or bleach extracts as they can promote corrosion. Never leave any amount of staying water as corrosion can eventually occur, weakening the blade. Do not recommend placing in the dishwasher- heavy jet streams, flying debris and harsh chemicals can push blade against other items, causing damage. Best stored dry in the included sheath when not in use. Never attempt to force a cut by twisting blade or prying. Avoid cutting frozen foods, shelled animals and products with hard components (coconut, bone). The softer cutting surface is recommended, such as wood, plastic, and bamboo. Glass, granite, marble, and ceramic may dull blade quickly. You can also condition the handles with olive oil or tung oil to keep them smooth and looking new.

What is the country of manufacture for this brand of knives?

Thank you for your question. Our knives are painstakingly assembled by expert blades smiths in a state-of-the-art facility within YangJiang, China (a city renowned for knife crafting for nearly 1500 years). We use premium materials from different locations depending on the product (for example, our Shogun & Phantom Series uses steel made in Japan, and our Gladiator Series uses steel made in Germany and handles made of pakkawood from Spain.) We are thus able to achieve exceptional quality but keep the costs of our knives lower for our customers. We offer unparalleled quality AND support at pure value pricing. If these were produced in Japan the costs would be significantly higher. Our Chinese factory proudly stands head and shoulders above all others in YangJiang, as our artisans (and lead foreman specifically) are on a personal mission to prove to the world Chinese quality can be world-class. Our products go through rigorous processes, with unparalleled attention and care given to each blade. We are so confident in the quality of our knives we offer an industry record-length 120-day full money back guarantee (including the shipping) and a limited lifetime warranty.
