Eknives

[draperfish]

I just recently discovered Eknives, I've made two purchases in the last few weeks. Communication has been perfect, they quickly responded to my email questions. Shipping was same day and both knives arrived on time and in perfect condition. I definitely recommend Eknives!

They're one of the greats! One of my top 5 (maybe even top 3) dealers.

I've gotten excellent service from them.

Huh? I’m seeing Eknives is a family owned web business and knifestore in TN. Where did you see they’re a “division of KaBar”? Also, Curto doesn’t own KaBar. I think you meant Cutco Corporation (formerly named Alcas).

EKnives is family owned. Good folks, great service.

Just received a double knife zipper pouch from EKNIVES, my first order from them. Easy checkout, quick shipping, and they even sent a watermelon Airheads with it! I definitely won’t have a problem shopping there again.

You edited your post but the information is still wrong.

I think perhaps you all are talking about two different outfits. One seems to be a knife dealer out of Tennessee and one is indeed owned by Kabar, but started out as a guy (John Ek) making knives for soldiers in WWII.

EK commando knives(ka-bar) vs. EKnives. In haste to “educate” people, reading comprehension can be lost

I hope to share. I can only communicate what I think to be true. I want to make it clear that I do not claim omnicience.

I had left the saga of "Ek Knives," some years ago when The Blackjack chapter had ended and the "historical"knife and firarms bunch in Richmond, Virginia was useing the "Ek" trademark to sell nice versions of traditional Ek patterns (fixedblades), if not all domestic production.

Knife News, the trade and knife consumer publication to which I once subscribed, had reported that Ka-Bar had purchased the historic Ek brand and line that had originated with John Ek in Connecticutt before we got into WWII.

Now that I look again after six-seven years, it does call the company Ek Commando Knife, John Ek's original company name. However "ekknives.com" is a KA-Bar Ek site.

The other "EK" is "Eknives.com". Clever. E Knives.

So, it appears that we have two companies sorta' using the "Ek" trademark, one to make traditional Ek knives and "E Knives" to retail a line of other brands of knives.

Happy that folks are satisfied with the E knives retail company.

IDK, I don’t see any reason to believe eknives.com is intentionally making a play off the Ek name. There are Exxxx.com retailers all over the web, Eknives seems like a natural extension of that.

 

[Thomas Linton]

Of course there are. They were not nearly adults - petrhaps alive - when Ek died and Blackjack bought theEk brand over thirty years ago (yresterday for and old fart). It's a clever name, like "EFinance," etc, etc, etc. I have the deficiency of knowing the Ek story or controversies all the way from Hartford to Ka-Bar and seeing "Ek."

Probably not, but nonetheless when I saw "Eknives" I thought about Ek commando knifes not about an "E" retailer out of Tennessee.

Your post was in haste, the facts have been provided, you are forgiven.
