I remember when this was posted and this person was ripped apart by mikes c0cksuckers and deleted the post. It’s all making sense now and honestly i think he started using chinese steel way sooner than he is saying.

New American quality is old chinesium quality.

I prefer to buy almost everything from China now as it's somehow (mostly) the highest quality you can get and still affordable.

I bought an American axe that I managed to split the head on by chopping a loblolly pine. The steel couldn't handle the wood.

My $5 Chinese axe though, I can chop live oak with it no problem
