I'll help you with using it Soatoz. I even have a book on them. Not just Holland and Holland but on what makes a "London Best" shotgun. Very interesting reading. Especially the sections on making the (walnut) stocks and the barrels. Of course I make do with a Remington and a Browning but anyway. Some might say that my ducks are just as dead as the H and H ones and I'd have to agree. (but where's the love? hmmmm.)

A guess a fukure occurs when someone reads a post on a forum, responds, a few unloving words are said to and fro... then we all work out that we actually agree.


So,
To me, you are talking about being able to see beauty in things.
A life without the ability to see beauty is a life that has something missing.
I agree.

My understanding of Japanese tools is that they place function first. Compare any Japanese plane to a Gordon with it's polished finish. The Gordon is pretty for sure and a fine tool but it is being marketed a bit differently to the Japanese ones.
