shout-out in support of 'Idaho Made'

To me, "Idaho Made" is no different than "Olean, NY" stamped on a KABAR. It's definitely a pride thing and I say more power to em... Those guys in Idaho make some of the best blades I've ever used.
 
I didn't even really notice it or its orientation that much before I saw this thread. I think it's a nice touch. Beats seeing Made In USA on something and wondering how much was made overseas. It would be a challenge, but I think it'd be a nice touch instead of the IM to put a small, discrete engraving of the outline of the state of Idaho in the same area of the current IM. But then there would be freaking out over which direction it was oriented.
 
IIRC, Ann Reeve has posted that it is intended to deter counterfeiting.

In any case, it would only make sense if it existed, and there is no evidence that Idaho offers any tax benefits for "Idaho Made"-marked goods.
 
For the life of me I can't see how this is an issue. My Knife Art carbon fiber small Sebenza doesn't have the "Idaho Made" engraving, while my micarta-inlaid small Sebenza Insingo does. Honestly, I don't notice it on the Insingo, nor do miss it on the carbon fiber.

As non-issues to, this one ranks up there with which way the toilet paper roll faces.

Adam

What? Are you that slow? Is that a serious response? I hope you get banned. And not just from this site, not just from the internet, but from all human contact the rest of your life. You can insult my political beliefs, call my wife names, hit my kid but NEVER imply the direction of toilet paper doesn't matter. Everyone knows it goes over top hanging towards you. Anyone who puts it behind facing away deserves to be in isolation the rest of their days!!!

I actually like the Idaho branding, and the fact it says 'Idaho Made' as opposed to 'Made in Idaho' appeals to me that much more. I know 'branding,' and labeling is a point of contention for many and my main gripe is when branding on the actual blade is / can be overkill. Ultimately, as with so many things, a matter of personal opinion / taste. Surely that much is agreed upon :D

It's also the last thing I think about when looking at a CRK :thumbup::thumbup::cool:

You make a good point, and in retrospect, I can see from whence your vitriol comes. I accept your judgement, and moreover, I accept the consequences of said judgement. I will spend my time in exile thinking about the ways in which I can work to combat this scourge that afflicts so many bathrooms.

Mea culpa, and please believe me when I say that I keep my rolls facing forward.

Adam

PS - Again, I'm sorry.
