Browning, like many gun brands, i'm fairly certain outsources their name and logo to multiple different manufacturers to stamp their name sake onto the knives, made from china to usa, stamped in everything from 5and 8cr, 440a-c, 420hc to 154cm, from leading to a lot of their hit and miss reputation... Who's making the knife, something I've always wondered about browning Knives...
I love the logo, and have no quarrels with the company; business is business: I've actually even gifted out their Chinese made 440a prisms quite a few times as a basic cheap knife to non-knife enthusiasts, and to date without one complaint...
The usa made Black Label Arbitrator in 154cm I've had my eye one for a while now, love the looks of it, but can't bring myself to pull the trigger (yet), as I don't know enough about it... (Anyone with info?)
Definitely glad to hear you got a hit with yours and are enjoying it... Be a shame if it was a miss, it is a gorgeous knife design, I'm digging it...
