>>49988509I don't really mean katanas. People buy fancy looking swords and knives from all over to swoon about. Many people assume Japanese scissors will be magically better, as with Japanese kitchen knives or hand planes or chisels or waterstones (the word waterstone itself might be an example of japanese sharp-thing marketing). Scissors with Japanese branding/aesthetic seem to have much higher cost per value. Obviously there are exceptions, but I notice a pattern...
