Somebody's feelings were obviously hurt there.
It is my experience that most large swiss shops are running Star, Tsugami and Citizen. I'm sure a poll could be set up here to see what is being run.
It is my opinion after spending some time digging into the Jinn Fa that they may be fine equipment, but I would still spring for one of the big three manufacturers. I wouldn't buy a Hyundai car (yes I realize they are a Korean company and make a lot of their stuff in the US). I wouldn't buy Chinese hand tools and I just wouldn't stake my livelyhood on a Jinn Fa.
I am sorry to disappoint you.
If you want me to change my opinion, keep providing good service and support for a decent product and maybe one day I will agree with you about the big 4 or 5, but if it was my money, I'd spend it on a Tsu, Star, or Cit.
