>>Where is located Jaguar ? I know the manufacture is in Asia (I guess Taiwan)
I have seen Jaguar knives made in China and in Taiwan. If you want to buy from China, the min. order is $10,000 USD. If you want to buy from Taiwan, the min. order is 500 of each item.
My wife and I attended the International trade show in the convention center in Hong Kong a few years ago. There were 5 to 6000 manufactors represented at least 2000 of them from Taiwan. They just about all had a $10,000 min. order delivery to Hong Kong, then it's up to you and your freight forwarder to get the delivery from Hong Kong over to here.
If you go to that show, it is absolutely amazing, and you get to see all the new stuff before it will ever show up in the stores over here. But you get very overloaded with sensory over stimulation. That I am sure is why buyers end up buying weird stuff from China, they are suffering from sensory overload, and are not in their right mind, when they make some of their purchases. It would be a great job if you could get it though. It's a easy trip from the Airport to your hotel room, where you get 5 star service and treated like a king. You take a short taxie ride to the convention center where you will find the best wholesale shopping in the world. But it takes money and you have to be set up to be able to sell a lot of stuff. The electronics show is suppose to be even more amazing then the one I attended. I have a friend who went to the Jewerly show and they had mulibillions of dollars worth of stuff there. He said there were guards at ever door with sub machine guns. Thanks, JohnR7
