Question about China made knives
Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 2:40 am
Hi, All
I am already enjoying this site. I am a long time lover and small collector of german made knives. I have a couple of hen and roosters, a couple of fight'n roosters, a couple of Buck creeks, a couple of case xxs, one german boker small stockman, I have a large H&R Tobacco Congress with bone stag handles, I believe it is a 1994 model. I just picked up a couple of fight'n roosters that need repairing. I was looking on ebay a couple of weeks ago and I bought a H&R congress knife with bone handles. After reading the fine print I realized that it was made in CHINA. I retracted my bid and emailed the seller and explained to him that if I felt that he was trying to hide that small fact. How long have these been made in CHINA? Are there any more true german made knives out there?
I have been looking at some new models, but am afraid to buy them. I also have an interest in older case xx knives with red bone handles.
Thanks for the opportunity to share.
