China now Taiwain?

If we are sitting in a board room discussing our product, Why should we even enter into the "Cheap - "Low End Market?"
Do we want to establish a reputation as a leader among cheap knives?
Do we want to compete and have our produck compared with the low end others Junk ?
Lets kick up our proven winners the 110s and 112s for example, offering different handle material and blade choices. When you think of Buck, you think of Quality, Backed by the best warranty in the industry! The "Caddilac of Knives" Lets Continue to produce a good old American roads hog and leave the Yogos for The offshore folks.
At Least lets not try to devieve customers by calling a Yogo a Minnicaddy.
There are a lot better motorcycles on the Road than Harley Davidson, But Harley carved thier market to those who "Will only have a Harley" And Harly does not compete with a low end product. Harley Davidson has established itself as an American Icon And Buck Knives is in the position to grab a piece of the ol american pie.(But they first need to spit out the rice) Caddilacs, Harleys and Quality Knives are not cheap but there are enough loyal customers to keep them in business and turning a handsome proffit.

a HONDA big bikes (aspincade gold wing) at one time could state made in usa tell they changed the laws that a foren based/owned company could not make that clame!!
honda is over 95 % usa made and sorced made usa parts still !
HD will outright attempt to decive you on the phone and i called the main office and got that and dealears will flat LIE on it...so dont hold a harly daividson to me for any thing.. that said
buck made the decision for to do it for reasions we dont agree with...
they have keep the top line made in usa even tho they can not advertise it any longer... i would rather drop a good inexpensive jap korean what ever over the edge of the boat then my 110...

HA ! let me tellyou what i did one day...
this buddy had a gold wing and it has made in usa on it ,,,
well one day he told a joke about a pict of a HD with a oil spot on the back and this other guy said bS and walked off
the very next day i carved me two chop sitcks and got a baggy of instant rice and husseled my big but out first and put the rice and chop sitcks on the seat of his honda and moved away quickly and wated :rolleyes:
man as he come up there with the most pusseled then pissed look and he stood on the pegs and when he seen the guy that P&Bitched about the joke he hollared at him and through the bag rice about 40 feet and hit him in the neck with it ! i jest keep on going trying to not give my self away !!! :cool:
i felt bad for a week then told on my self before it esculated ...:foot:
but man it was worth it to see his face as he walked up:D and seen that rice!!! :cool:
rated a 9.8 on a 10 of expreasions and a video of it would have made the tv show!;)
 
The bottom line is imported knives of any brand is bad for the USA. Other countries prosper while our unemployment lines grow. Some products like electronics for example are 99% imports so there is little choice. As far as I am concerned if someone buys something made in china then that person supports a communist country.

If north korea invaded South Korea within hours the United States would send hundreds of tousands of troops to South Korea while china would send hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition to north korea.

During the Korean War Chinese soldiers crossed into Korea killing American soldiers for which no price was ever paid by china.

BUY AMERICAN!

Good choice...the champagne of beers. If you got the time, we got the beer. Miller's made the American Way! My baby's American made; born and bred in the U.S.A. Remeber that Miller commercial that the Oak Ridge Boys did? I liked the tan blonde wearing the American flag bikini in that one myself.
