The people making nation of manufacturing a criteria are often out of date on their understanding of the change in manufacturing quality and/or are simply making a nationalistic based decision. We used to equate Japanese products with junk and now accept that it means quality. As Japan became equated with quality instead of junk, China assumed Japan's old role as the supplier of cheap disposable junk. Now we find Chinese first world quality products (check your watch, computer, phone, pocket knife) almost as easily as disposable junk, although the interesting thing about Chinese manufacturing is they'll make junk as readily as first quality as long as there's sufficient profit. There are entrepreneurs working to make India and Pakistan manufacturing and products competitive with China/Italy/USA in producing quality consumer goods and we may one day look at "paki crap" as just an evolution in knife manufacturing quality.
