Mustad has done the same.

I will not buy China made Mustads...nor will I buy any House of Hardy products that are not made in Alnwick England.

I don’t really care where my hooks are made, to be honest if they’re good quality, I’ll use them. There’s no point looking at where the origin of manufacturing is from when it’s good quality and stands the test of time... that’s why I drive a Tacoma with parts from Canada, Japan, China, USA and more.
Btw daiichi and gamakatsu are Japanese companies, and japan Is super OCD with quality. So that’s why I like them. Sweden is the same for the most part haha
