re: #188 GlutenFreeJesus

When I was little, something from “Japan” was thought of as inferior (especially cars.)

Now, “Japan” is seen as a premium brand.

In regards to knives - because during the era when Samurai were a thing the quality of swords was indeed important. So some Japanese craftsmen became very good at making very good swords.

So I guess some today believe there is a genetic inheritance for knives???
