Made in China

[arden.ferris]

Am I the only one here that will not buy a knife made in China? First there is the fact of who China is. Killing the Uyghur's, oppressing the Tibetian's, and lets not forget organ harvesting. then there is the fact that their steel is just not as good - IMHO. I am finding I have to be pretty careful, so many big names now have production lines that are all made in China. China is not our friend. I have been there and it is worse in person.

This is not going to go as you think it is…


Edit: I forgot to mention I only buy USA made knives.

 

[arden.ferris]

probably right.

Yeah... this isn't going to end well. I'd offer my opinion but I'm getting smarter as I get older. So I won't.

I am guessing you do not use a cell phone or a long list of other products

I do try to avoid Chinese made stuff as much as possible. most chips are not longer made there.

I buy knives from the awesome makers there whom are now friends, not their commie government. These are super nice people and they make great knives. We have never talked politics, just knives.

The good news is you can buy whatever you want.

If country of origin is important to you, there are a plethora of other options.

are you talking custom? I would like to hear about that. When we toured china the regular folks living in the rural areas were quite nice.

Never forget that while governments are made of people they are not The People.

I avoid buying anything made in communist China if possible. Taiwan is another matter; I have several superb knives made there (Spyderco GB), not to mention my computer.

Wasn’t there thousand threads about that subject already? The hoback thread was kind of that, people like to buy usa made and turns out to be chinese made hence the controversy if it for getting screwed over. Personally, i don’t care if it’s Chinese or whatnot, i vote with my wallet. If i like it i buy it.
