Is this a company that basically produces Chinese/Pakistani junk..?!?!

 

[Blues]

Clearly not. On their web page they in no uncertain terms inform you that these are the finest knives to be had at any price, for any chosen activity.

LOL.....Pricing a $50 knife at $700 then marking it down to $300.....such a bargain........
They don't "produce" anything. They contract somebody to make knives for them in what country or countries they can.

Their "about" page illustrates their heat treating process with a photo of a knife blank immersed in a bed of coals. 'Nough said.

Scanning the site , I couldn't find anything about country of origin . Just a bunch of hype and semi-slick BS .

You wouldn't ask unless you already thought they smell bad .

Done properly this yields a hardness of 7.5-8 on the BBQ scale.....

They do everything possible to hide where the knives are made. That’s enough of a red flag to avoid buying anything thing from them.

Just based on the title, i don't even want to risk visiting the website.
