While on the subject of the Emporor's clothes; personally I really dislike socket fork ends.
Seems all the current Japanese makers use them.
They may save loads of time frame building but they're ugly and the way that different builders and even nations finish(ed) the fork and stay ends is one of the cool things about handmade frames.
