Why are Japanese reflow soldering tools so expensive?

The manufacturing process is very complicated. The reason why Japanese reflow soldering tools are so expensive is that the manufacturing process of Japanese reflow soldering tools is complex, and experienced knife makers need to adopt traditional manual forging methods to accurately control the geometric shape, surface roughness, cutting edge angle, dimensional accuracy and symmetry of Japanese reflow soldering tools. Moreover, the tool will be worn during use, and the cutting edge needs to be trimmed or replaced. This is why Japanese reflow soldering tools are so expensive.
