The Bark River debacle; where to go from here?

[Matthew Gregory]

This goes back to atleast 2006-2007, I know, I worked there then. It has always been away for them to make money quick, so they could fund a future project and pay the bills
Chances are if it’s a “limited edition” model, it’s from a prefab blank
I ground a lot of legit A2 and 52100 then to know most was legit
The stainless variants were always questionable are acted differently to be certain what they were
I’ve been blanks needing to be ground down so much, to try and keep the heat treat was impossible
After I saw the way things were going, bounced paychecks, being shorted on checks, the deceitful business practices etc I chose to leave
There’s a reason the company has changed names atleast three times since I was there
At one point I had over 70 BR knives that I had made, bought or had given to me
I don’t have any anymore for good reason

I’ve stayed out of the mess, away from it all for a long time
But to read the BS about certain ones not knowing till recent, or this is the first, and only 6 models, is all a complete lie
It’s been going on for 20 years (probably longer) and they ALL knew

Just my two cents, but this post really ought to be in the locked thread in general, too - no, Elliott? Blues
