But, I'm starting to be swayed. ::nod:: :wink:

8) Just about everybody believes these Knives are manufactured in

China. ::td:: How they get away without stamping CHINA on the tang is

I've seen as many as 4 different companies such as Munich Ironworks stamped on the tang, none of the 4 I've seen can be found on an internet seach. I and 3 others have tried for a long time to find these companies, without any luck.

They did not fare well in 3 tests against Rough Rider and Steel Warrior.

Well it looks like I was RIGHT for a change... ::nod::

I was asked this by an AAPK member and I felt that they were Made in China. So I told him that. He was duped in to them. He thinks he can get his money back by selling them Quickly. I just hate to give wrong info.
Even if it is just my opinion.

Thanks for your feed back, all who answered.

Companies in China sell counterfeited and pirated software making BILLIONS of dollars each year. Even Microsoft has problems with them, as does major studios in Hollywood.

What chance would the US cutlery industry have if these media giants can't stop them? ::shrug::

8) Hukk; I know, I work for a Major Movie Studio in Hollywood. We have an

Anti-Pirate DVD Division that can't even make a dent in what the Chinese

are doing. The Movie industry is losing Billions every year! ::td::
