Your question "Just how many hours of "finishing" (the whole reason Kang set up a China plant for the Korea operation - to finish what die casting could not accomplish, and, AT GREAT EXPENSE) were required to bring each knife half up to grade for assembly and up to grade for cutting.... " seems to me to be intentionally inflammatory.
Wasn't the finish as result of bead-blasting at lqmt? Seems I heard that somewhere. And if it was then wouldn't that have to have survived any re-work on the part of MA?
Wasn't the engraving also done at lqmt? And, again, if there was significant work done on the knife at MA, would this feature have been ruined in the process?
My point is ... "Hours" is not likely appropriate ... An hour at most per knife. Still a travesty, yes, but much more manageable for the small volume first batch.
I think the question we need to know as investors, and that potential new customers need to know is ... What WILL the end product look like after lqmt gets the molds and process right.
And I TOTALLY agree BTW ... Enough of the white-papers. Show me a real product, start-to-finish production.
