In the past, this has never gone well. Kissing Crane is a good recent example.
And the knives produced by "Edge Technologies LLC" seem to be entirely Chinese made. This particular model uses 8Cr13, which I don't think is used outside of Chinese makers. Which is worrisome. Wouldn't be surprised if they try to make all knives under the same roof in China.

This could mean it’s time to buy vintage Al-Mar knives now more than ever.
