Yep, that's a good one too. The giveaway is the attorney is talking about the other attorney and not ... you know ... the law and facts.

Like the fact a grown man let his knives be misrepresented and profited from it, while having a Bible verse engraved on it. That kind of facts?

Is it bad business practice for Ford to make some cars in America and others in Mexico, Canada, Europe, and China? They seem to think so.

Perhaps he should switch to Genesis 4:9....

And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

A supermod already told us to leave religion out of it. If a particular member doesn’t abide, I wouldn’t take the bait.

I was just checking some of my knives that I know are made in China. The Quiet Carry Drift does not say it's made in China. The Pena Zulu does not say it's made in China. The Giant Mouse Riv does not say it's made in China. The WE Esprit does not say it's made in China. None of them are marked with any COA. Ditto for Kizer and Sharp by Design.

So what do the packages say that the knives came in? Do they say “Made in China”?

I didn’t see that answered yet.

I believe I did answer above. The Quiet Carry has no COA on the box, nor does the Peña or Sharp by Design. Giant Mouse box says China.

I went back and saw you did, thanks. I don’t own any of the knives in question so I was curious.

Speaking of deliberate ignorance, how many Kizer knives did you say you had?

I presently have just one. As it turns out, BHQ slapped their stock label across Kizer's label, hiding the "Made in China" designation. Kizer should be ashamed of themselves and publicly apologize -- not that I will ever forgive them for their outright deception. ;)

Except windows stickers by law need to show where a car was assembled and where the major components were from. There is even a Parts Content Information section that let's potential buyers know what parts actually came from the USA or country of origin if they did not.

...did you say you were an attorney? Or do you just play one on internet forums?

Because every attorney is intimately familiar with auto window sticker law? :p

Is this a recent law? Because the 2018 sticker for my current vehicle only lists the country where it was assembled. Nothing about the origin of components -- major or minor.

In any case -- not really the point.

EDIT: correction! The second page of the sticker does in fact state:

FOR VEHICLES IN THIS CAR LINE: U.S./CANADIAN PARTS CONTENT: 60% MAJOR SOURCES OF FOREIGN PARTS CONTENT: MEXICO: 22% NOTE: PARTS CONTENT DOES NOT INCLUDE FINAL ASSEMBLY,,. DISTRIBUTION, OR OTHER NON-PART;:, COSTS. FOR THIS VEHICLE: FINAL ASSEMBLY POINT: TOLEDO, OHIO, U.S.A. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: ENGINE: MEXICO TRANSMISSION: UNITED STATES
 
I really don't see the point in hiding the origin of a knife when it's perfect! Over the years, more than 7 Hoback knives have passed through me and each of them has been without remarks. But the best one just overall is my first Kwaiback MK4, ordered and waited for almost a year at the beginning of its production. I do not know what has happened over the years, but the situation right now is very ugly.
