They're going to be a bunch of weird blade grinds, and handles made of hotspots. Like, literally, it just makes your thumb lock up as soon as you pick one of them up.
 
I am well aware of all the issues surrounding Jared and his garbage company, so I'm curious. Has he ever been confronted at BLADE, or another knife show where the G4rBg3M45+eR team dares to show their faces? Has he ever been called out by other knifemakers as clearly misrepresenting his product or lying about his facility? I mean, they could even keep it simple. Simply print out a poster sized satellite image of the private dwelling at the address he claims the facility is located at. Seems like it'd be easy for someone to walk up, loudly* ask "HEY JARED, WHAT'S THIS HOUSE DOING WHERE YOUR THREE STORY PALACE OF KNIVES AND SPY TECH IS SUPPOSED TO BE?"

Just wondering why this has never happened.


*So as to attract the attention of all the Youtubers milling around waiting for their chance to interview whoever

I see people are saying these knives are made in China. Is there any evidence for that, or is it just what you think is most likely or something you've heard from other people?

Do a search on it. Lots of threads on the subject.

Yes, years of threads on the subject and it goes back to Mantis... so over a decade of threads.

...and it would be ridiculously easy for them to refute and show their facility. Now they are saying they have FIVE facilities in the states. LMAO give me a break.

All the knife companies, Benchmade to ZT... Chris Reeve to Fox... can all show you their facility and most have given factory tours at one time or another.

Knife enthusiasts as a whole aren't witch hunters and we don't just pile on. At the end of it, there's been enough questionable shady shit on their end and the onus is on them to prove people wrong. Again... It would be VERY EASY for them to shut us all up.
 
^
Even Cold Steel can barely open one USA facility let alone five.

and if any of those five supposed facilities are subcontracts, let one of them verify that they make anything for them.

I would love for Blade Magazine to do an " in depth article " on the QM knife factory. :)

The thing with the various knife mags is they tend to not ruffle feathers in anything they do. It's bad for the business they are in, which is selling ads. I've read countless blurbs and reviews on knives that I knew were crap but the company also had ads in the magazine.

Jared and his Garbage company are at least smart enough not to attend any knife shows. He did attend SHOT show (not sure if he had a booth), where he was photographed sitting with some Chinese manufacturers.

There was the one instance a few years ago where he was interviewed by BladeHQ in the lobby of Blade Show? Don't think he has been back since.
 
This company is hilarious and sad in the same time. I can only wonder what moves in these people's minds when they do that. Do they sleep their night aloud? I would think so. Do they ever think "what the hell am I doing"? This company does something that I would expect from 14 year old kid who wasn't raised the right way. I guess some people never grow up.. or have any morale that is.

Bladehq still sells them if that does anything for you. Also, were you aware that, among other things:

"...the principals in the business have a combined 25 years of experience in aerospace and industrial design."

Thanks, bladehq, good to know where you stand.

Edit: changed bladeHQ to gpknives

GPKnives stopped getting stock of them and reduced prices to sell leftover stock. knife center is now the only one of the big knife places that are selling them and dont give a damn about the lies quartermaster does.

bladeHQ removed country of origin.

quartermaster has been going after the firearms crowd because they dont know the lies yet.

Pretty sure Blade HQ doesn't list them as made here any longer.
 
I'm impressed with GP Knives and now Blade HQ for dropping Quartermaster. Funny, you would think that this would be news, but KnifeNews didn't bother to mention these facts in their latest post about Quartermaster.
 
ive edited my post. gpknives did that not bladehq. i keep forgetting this. one removed country of origin and the other stopped selling them except for left over stock.

damn it. well whatever, im never going to get it right. The moral of the story is dont believe quartermaster because they have ZERO proof, and the proof they think they have is made up and doesnt qualify as proof (eg the video).

Blade HQ made it so you have to click on country of origin but it still says USA.
The only Dealer " so far " to do right by their customers is GPKNIVES . :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I still haven't seen any evidence, just a lot of very strange statements by the company. It's strange enough that I don't think I'd buy a knife from them.

But still no evidence.

I saw someone claiming that a shipment of knives from China was for QM. How does one get hold of such information? How can we know this true?
 
^lol now thats funny, you must be in denial.

if quartermaster cant supply us or retailers with a business license and actual quartermaster knives being manufactured at a shop, its all BS and lies.

quartermatster will always deny it, because its a lie. they will not provide proof, and always say some weird thing like its made in 5 different factory's in the usa, which of course if it was, there would be proof. all the supporting evidence makes this clear as day.
