Forge work is no longer a common trade, it is active & flashy and no untrained person can understand it, there is fire and sparks and thumping hammers.

How can somebody sitting quietly & making adjustments of a fraction of a millimeter with a jewelers file compete with the magic & mystery of the forge?

Actually Empu Suparman used to prioritise garap in his appraisal of a blade.
