Was qtrmstr at Blade Show 2016?

Because you can't see if a knife is properly heat-treated, you have to rely on the integrity of the maker.

I, personally, find it hard to trust folks caught lying repeatedly, but YMMV.
 
They were only at a couch in the lobby. Shady, just like everything else they claim that they do.

They know that if they get a real booth or table that other makers/manufacturers as well as regular folks will call them on their BS.

The guy is a freakin' shyster for sure.
 
LOL, that whole video was scripted. There wasn't a single portion showing anything being assembled, cut, polished, etc.

Just a bunch of crooks standing around some CNC machines. I like how it's "Made in Texas," but doesn't say where in Texas.

We believe that the best tools in the world are made right here in the United States of America.

This is why all QTRM5TR knives, 100 percent of their components, even the boxes they're sold in are Made in the USA.

They forgot to include the bit about how they lied about their knives being made in America before but we should totally believe they are now. Why anyone would trust their fingers to these jokers is beyond me.

You mean the machine shop that they tried to pass off as their own and they forgot to scrub the geo-tag off the picture?

Are you also forgetting the invoice for completed knives from China?

Or the fact that no one has ever been to their factory before?

Or that you can purchase 150k followers on social media for a few hundred bucks?

Or that fact that they still steal designs?

Or the Manager of sales at CPM–Crucible Particle Metallurgy has never heard of them. ;)

I don't get everyones hatred for the qtrmstr. I've read their earlier designs weren't all that good and were made overseas but apparently they're all made in the USA now. I just received the mr roper eviction today (the last update of it) and it's a very nice knife. I guess there is some drama that I don't know/care about in the past but to each their own I suppose. I'm quite impressed/happy with the one that came today though.

Why? They've been known to steal designs from people like Warren Thomas and as other have mentioned, are very sketchy.
 
I just don't like their name. "QTRMSTR"? Seriously?

What's wrong with just Quartermaster?

Put a magnet next to your knife's handle and see if it sticks. If it does they lied about titantium. Qrtrmstr is known for magnetic "titanium"
 
I don't know. But supposedly they order their knives from China in batches of 300...just like the Battle of Thermopylae.

question does anyone think their Instagram follow numbers are organic?

thats an awful lot of followers for a company well known to be full of shit.

I would be ironinc if they payed a Chinese click farm.
 
I really don't care if they were at BLADE or not. Doesn't really contribute to the thread much, but that is the way I feel. Does anyone pick at Mike Stewart and Bark River Knives for not being there as an exhibitor? The short answer for Stewart is "He doesn't need to."

Mike Steward doesn't lie about his knives that he makes in his shop , being made in the USA.

There's a weird sort of implication here that because they have an unscrupulous reputation that they are either more obligated to represent themselves at the shows and/or are liable to more scrutiny for not doing so.

If they had been there, what difference would it have actually made? By not being there, we have people implying that they were ashamed to show their face, hiding, etc - if they had been there, they would be seen as tasteless salesmen brazenly showing up where they aren't welcome. The alternate-universe version of this thread would instead just be about them peddling their wares of dubious origins. Damned if they do, damned if they don't - attendance to the show is irrelevant to their perception on these boards and in general. It is, in fact, because of their image here and elsewhere that we color every action or inaction we see from them with a shade of shady.
