Sigh 😮‍💨 ok going to try and redirect this back to the original request by Sal. Please no politics as requested by @sal in the first post.

I have a question that has been percolating in the back of my mind. Does China have any premium, tool or super steels? Maybe @Larrin could weigh in on this ...

I've occasionally taken heat for my love of Chinese knives over the years. It's not just delivering cool stuff at great prices but that I really love liner locks on bearings with snappy action, especially with Micarta scales. There, something like 99% of the choices are coming from China. (Honestly ...
