I recognize that knives and hawks originating from Pakistan have usually been questioned by blade aficionados. While checking an online auction site I noticed several sellers with different names are promoting hawks and axes made in Pakistan. I'm curious whether anyone has used a Pakistani hawk/axe, who they bought it from, and how it performed.

Thanks for your input,

I wont buy anything from Pakistan if its intended to be reliable or finely crafted.
I know several guys who have 'Pak made tools, But they are the guys who wont recognise or care quality difference anyway.
But, Like anybody else, The 'Paks can make excellent stuff.
Their massmarket stuff is at best mediocre, If not outright crap.
They make whatever a buyer is willing to pay for.

As an aside, Look at their gunsmithing.
Its remarkable what they turn out with little more than handtools & drillpress.
