Re: China made knives/ tariffs?
China made knives might fly off the shelves. I could see that happening but everything will increase in price whether it was affected by tariffs or not. Doesn’t matter where it was made.
It happened with the COVID outbreak. No reason to think it won’t happen again with the tariffs. Retailers will use the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices across the board.

My post was only my personal prediction of history repeating itself. I don’t recommend ruling out the possibility that I could be way off base.

It might be a possibility
That is the more likely scenario.Railsplitter wrote: ↑Sun Apr 13, 2025 1:35 am China made knives might fly off the shelves. I could see that happening but everything will increase in price whether it was affected by tariffs or not. .

I am, and have been, content with the few I have.
