richj2020 shot show
Has anyone been watching the videos from the 2020 shot show? I remember seeing dozens of USA made knives that were copied on Aliexpress (china) a few years ago. Now they are all gone. So what happened?
The chinese got smart?? ya think or did pressure from the USA stop them from making copy (not a chance)
We, Civivi, CJRB, JE, Artisan, Reate, and many more are now making original designs or working with custom designers to make original knives.
Instead of selling $50 benchmade copies they are selling $250 knives. Very smart on their part.
Since most of the big names are selling knives made in china anyway does it matter?

Jerry FiskI, for one am getting ripped by chinese on the production side. China now owns Camillus so they have made some OVB senderis. I get paid nothing.
