i've said it before and it always seems to be true... even with decent
knife sets... it all comes down to using "cheap" chinese
stainless steel... more specifically that which has larger chunks of carbon
in the mix... after a time, this carbon starts breaking out and then you
have a hole that gets worse and worse unti lit breaks...

now, if the chinese and others would learn to grind their materials up
smaller and not allow these larger particles to get into te mix, then
things would be a whole lot better... i will hold off pointing at the bean
counters and lawyers which are really at the root of things with corporate
greed and trying to satisfy stock holders more than they are trying to
ensure that they are making *quality* products...
