depends how much they brought in or their suppliers did. then the obvious how this tariff game ends up.

all guessing but I'd expect the import items will be going up......the domestic line.....I got no idear? maybe?

Domestic line must require brass and wood and other things from abroad.

I'm just wondering how many of the basic materials may come from abroad. Soon find out, I guess.

Buying that one you've been thinking about immediately might be a good idea.
 
Probably not as much the hyper inflation we've had. Or the material shortages that shutdowns caused. Or the personnel shortages from people being paid to stay home. Or upside-down trade agreements for decades now.

But let's all concern ourselves with increased tariffs when we've had them imposed on US goods for decades now.
 
Well, we can hope that the manufacturers of knives and ammo have been smart and stocked up on huge amounts of the imported components that they use.

Ammo is another concern with brass, copper and lead all now heavily tariffed.

Ammo will soon show empty shelves and high prices.
 
If we're going to start talking ammo then if anyone hasn't set aside what they want or need since 2011 then I don't know what to say. The world has been and always will be a chaotic place.

Stack deep what you can afford when it's available.

I think the US produces a significant amount of brass, but don't have anything to back it up. Sounds like you have an internet search to do tonight :)

Apparently Weiland Chase in Ohio is a big one.
There are a number of foundries producing brass products that are supposed to be 100% American made, so they're obviously using domestic brass.

Does the 110 say " with global materials " on the packaging anywhere? I don't remember it saying so, and that would lead me to believe they're probably using domestic brass.
If not I believe that would be significant enough to require a qualifier of " global materials ".

Ebony provided by Taylor Guitars, grown in the Congo.

I believe the Dymalux products are made here. Tho I'm unsure where the resin comes from

Well, there are a few Buck knives that are produced in China. Guessing there will be increased costs due to tariffs

Such a good point.

I prefer the Mexican made sheaths....I hate to say it but they're better made and don't fall apart as quickly.

I'd imagine they can afford to have slightly sturdier sheaths made for the money.
I've never had one of their domestically made sheaths though.

I believe you will find domestic retailers will raise prices regardless of any tariff effect on their product line, why? Because they can
