Although started rather inauspiciously, this thread got a lot more interesting around the fifth page. That Carson branded knife has a number of interesting features. I think that Waterbeef is learning rapidly how to put up pics and explanations that American knife enthusiasts (who are the main demographic here on BF) will pause to consider and not dismiss out of hand, and this strikes me as a good thing.
I agree with Wouter and others who opine that the key to greater prosperity for Chinese makers is a combination of high quality, original design, and constructive dialog with end line users. I applaud Waterbeef for venturing into pretty hostile waters to make his case.
We have to remember that the culture of slavish imitation is not unique to China. It has characterized many countries over the past 200 years as they struggle to develop their manufacturing base and forge a distinguishing style of their own. In the mid to late 1900's it was Taiwan, Korea, and Japan, and in the 1800's it was the United States of America. All of these countries began by making cheap copies of manufactures from other nations then on top of their game, and they all developed into first tier producers of quality goods over time.
China is ascending now, that much should be obvious. The people of that land will benefit by the advances mentioned above, and this will manifest first as material prosperity, then later as greater freedom and human dignity. Ultimately this will lift all nations. |
