Everything about knives has changed these past 30 years. How they are made, the materials, the heat treatment, but most of all how they are used. Many modern usage would be considered using the wrong tool, or just out right abuse, a few years back.
Interestingly, there has been a bit of a reappraisal of what is expected from a good knife. Rather than one to rule them all, just have a few and more specialised.
