I am absolutely amazed that you will come onto a PASSAROUND thread and comment on the quality of a knife when you're not even
You should be amazed, I never once commented on the quality of the Knife, where ? This is an open forum who's goal is to rate a knife by allowing members to share their experiences with that knife. My points are very simple. 1. The OP rec'd a free knife, basically never heard of, and new to market 2. The OP is a respected member who's opinion made this entire thread possible. 3. The Mfg. regardless of any so called barrier, maintains a facebook account,responds here throughout the thread directing members as to what to say and how,
Hi guys, please put on a video showing the knife of flipping open or cutting besides photos so that people can see more clearly? Thanks.
and does so very clearly and without any barrier. I do not for one second see any barrier this Mfg. faces, what about Lionsteel, Boker, are they also limited or handicaped ? This Mfg is schooled in all aspects of marketing and is doing an excellent job, up to , assuring everyone who reads that while China,
We can't deny that there are many bad quality stuff made in China, but there are good things too. As I said before, Reate is different, we only make good quality knives.
makes "MANY" bad items, his is not one and he only makes good quailty knives. All this while still making adjustments to Mfg, Marketing and even Logos. I don't know of any mfg. who can honestly say they only make good quality knives, who have been in business many years. I guess if you are a start up that Quote may be accurate. 4. lastly does anyone remember all the other new knives produced each year by established Mfg. ? Do you recall the conversations, the neg. and Pos. CRK got for making the "25". Thousands of post commented on that knife, and few had even seen, or held it. Other mfg face the same challanges and reviews. They don't come here and defend, direct, and give knives away, discount prices or offer side deals, for those who participate.
anyone who participate in the pass around and really wants one, we will cover the express fee. That means you only have to pay for the price of the knife.
. when I read this thread I keep waiting to read the following, " but wait fans, if you order withing 24 hours, you'll rec. not only the knife, but a free carry pouch and a cleaning rag, but wait, that's not all , we'll even ship those to you free, just pay processing and handling fees" . This marketing concept is seen everyday on T.V.. But the shear fact that a mfg would use Bladeforums Quotes and members Quotes on their facebook says more to me that anything. If your product is made in Idaho, say it, if seki city display it, if China, well I guess based on the evidence, The sales ad missed that part. As for troll and grow up comments, why is it always the only response made, I have not attacked anyone here or called names, I only stated the facts. A review is being done by offering free knives and discounted prices, and free shipping, I can name 100's of knives that offer free shipping, but as Mods will tell you, no one actually gives anything free. Has anyone considered the economic advantages and the cost structure of a $300 knife made in China. Bet we have several Union workers on here, that pay for that $300 knife. Wonder how many people in the Mfg. home country can EDC a $300.00 knife ?? Hope everyone enjoys the pass around.
