The best craftsmen are crafty. They hold back and hush up — saving the finest, most well-made tools for themselves. Just think of expert chefs, who slice and dice using hammered Japanese blue steel knives — the sort you’d never find in a home kitchen. Or professional musicians, who avoid AirPods at all costs, and instead turn to obscure European brands to boost the bass and frequency of their headphones. Or look to Montblanc, the luxury German brand that has been creating one-of-a-kind writing instruments for more than a century.
