320 Mr Crappie

[DeSotoSky]

For March 20th I have the model 320 Mr Crappie c.2017. I think is the most attractive of the Hooked on Fishing Series for Smoky Mountain. It's not crappy at all.

As you know, I am a big fan of that whole series. I wish they would continue to do special series like that, not necessarily fish but perhaps other themes. Yeah, they are Chinese knives, but it's fun.

I believed they were ordered by SMKW and made through Buck's Chinese manufacturing facilities partner. I suppose it I possible that SMKW got a license from Buck to use their label using some other manufacturer. But I think maybe not because why would Buck sign up for the warranty costs for another manufacturer? I am too lazy to go look at the box to see what the warranty or company address was.

We don't exactly know the name of the specific factory in China making either, so it's possible that they come from the same factory.

That's true. In China, they don't let foreign companies make stuff without a Chinese partner. That way they can steal intellectual property easier. So it is possible that Buck's partner and SMKW''s partner for making Rough Riders could be the same.

Judging by the title, I though this thread was going to be about the Sig 320.
