Good read! One of the other things that happened in this time frame was that wusthof and henkle got worse. I bought a 10" whustof in 2005 when i started culinary school that was heavy, but a great knife. Withon a few years their good knives had these massive "ergonomic" handles that threw off the balance, and their cheaper knives were almost to light to do anything with. Both companies had a big focus on knife block sets... Hard to justify much of their stuff if you know very much at all about using knives. I can only imagine the sleekness of the made ins et al was a revelation for a lot of people.

Whatever the critical take here is, Korin changed my life and I am thankful for that.

There's no critical take of Korin in this! Korin is clearly the trailblazer of where kitchen knives are today. It's worth reading the story!
