I believe that we need to differentiate between quality of execution, & quality of material, the two things are separate & different. 
 
Post #81 in this thread is a hilt of mine, it is high quality material, 22K gold, and superb craftsmanship. This hilt displays both elements of quality in the single item. 
 
With other hilts we should, I believe, make it clear if we are commenting on the material, or on the craftsmanship.
