Knives-Made in China

[Cougar Allen]

Shortly before WWII the city of New York sold a lot of scrap metal from subway renovations to Japan. After the war began NYC newspapers made a big deal about how stoopid that was and how the Japanese were firing shells made of that steel at Americans.

As far as I know Japanese newspapers did not make a big deal about how stoopid it was to buy that steel from America and how Americans were using that money to pay for shells to fire at Japanese.

Hi Cat,

Our Distributor in China is doing well distributing Spyderco knives to Chinese knife people. These knives are made in Golden, Colorado and the distributor pays us in US dollars.

Sir, Selling American products overseas is fine. Even to the Chinese. I have no malice toward you or any company making money selling American made products as long as those products cannot be used against us.

Selling supercomputers to Chinese military types would be bad. Selling nuclear secrets would be bad. Selling strategic materials is bad.

Selling per se is not bad. BUYING anything from China is bad.

Giving them jobs taken away from Americans is bad.

Allowing them to make things we used to make here and then buying them from the Chinese is bad.

Once again, this is turning into a political discussion that does not belong on this forum. Discuss knives on this forum and politics on the political forum.

It's already been established that China doesn't produce junk. China produces whatever will sell. There's a world of difference.

I say buy whatever offers the best value for you $. IOW, let capitalism's invisible hand work.
