It’s definitely a cycle. Pre-Temu/AliExpress I worked at a store that sold high end purpose made knives and low end “fantasy” knives. As soon as a factory was opened in China by a major brand the original (sans branding) would suddenly show up in the same catalog as the fantasy knives at 1/5 MSRP and an inferior knock off at 1/20th MSRP; all the high tech designer steels and plastics replaced by 440 and ABS or Micarta. It’s the way business is often done in their manufacturing economy.
