@Soccerman: thanks a lot for this information: it is something I never though of. I am not Asian, so I am not able to judge the quality of the writing of a Kanji. I think your point makes perfectly sense and I will take a more closer look on the quality of the Kanji in the future. Although, I am not sure I will be able to distinguish the differences. As it has been already mentioned, a knife is not only the performance, etc. To my eye knowing that a Kanji is well made gives a knife an extra value even if I am not expert enough to appreciate it fully.
