Japanese knives are a good example of products whose reputation has changed over the years.
Back in the 1950s and 1960s the term "made in Japan" was a critical statement about the quality of a product. The Japanese have worked hard to turn that around and now "made in Japan" is a positive statement of pride and quality.
Knives are a representation of a regions culture, politics and natural resources. Think about it; a knife is one of our most basic tools. The history and development of a knifes design is a direct reflection of its function and the materials used come from the regions natural resources.
This is certainly true with the types of steel and materials used in making Japanese knives.
