Please tell me I'm not the only one! (HOKC Knives)

[jbib]

Or at least the only one willing to admit I was totally taken in by HOKC knives complete with Cyrillic marking to think this was a Russian knife. The Google tells me it is made in China and I consider that very misleading advertising!

I try to avoid buying anything from China.

You got me curious. I read ads from a few vendors, and they mention a Russian designer. And it does look like they are a Russian product. But you can get a better price on dhgate. I am thinking that they are made in China. Welcome to the knife world!

I have one. Alexander Biryukov design, D2 steel, G10 scales, made by HOKC, China.

I challenge anyone simply looking at the picture and saying, "Chinese made!" Stipulated, I made my comment because I purchased one of these knives. Excellent knife but I hate being played.

That's funny! It looks like a Chinese knife to me. Why not?

The combined guard/fipper/hook opener. The fuller. The way the G10 looks. It screams gas station/mall ninja.

Someone tell Ernie they're ripping him off again.
