Buck knives to come back home

[Gabriel]

Sooo.....
Who's to say they ain't

The American people that want to pay the least amount of money for the most product. That's who. They are the ones that forced companies to go over seas in the first place.

Naw , I think it was more GREED and less force

 

[TopDog]

They left because everyone here thinks they are worth $35 an hour regardless of skill or what they are doing.

Sure they didnt leave like so many other compaines out of pure GREED? For many American companies no mater how much profit it is not enough. Instead of a company making a better product and competing they simply cut costs to the bone produce an inferior product and scoop up money like no ones accountable.

Well I hold them accountable. Buck deserted the US, then screw them. I will never buy another Buck. I have a few older Bucks and will continue to trade and buy pre traitor Bucks. But post trader returning to the US with tail between legs Buck, NO. I spit on Buck.

Well with attitude we can't fix what went wrong

Lets support company's that have admitted they were

Magelite is one of the true good guys and their story gets lost in the noise all the time

If you shun companies that come back, what does that teach? "Stay away, because it doesn't make any difference to us" is not the lesson we want taught.

I have been in several discussions on here that tried to re-educate me on my decision to only buy new knives from companies that did not move offshore....It would be nice to be able to purchase a new Buck or two...Still won't buy knives made with inferior grades of steel tho....

 

[Clay]

Good for Buck.

Im not a Buck knife guy, but I'll pick one up at some point to try and show them some support.

Cubby makes an excellent point. I dont see anything being done to entice companies back to America.

I have a hard time making nice with a company that sullied a fine American brand name. I think about the companies that stayed here and made a go of it. Case is the first that comes to mind. Why not buy a Case knife instead of a Buck and show support for a company that remained loyal to America?

 

[hacksawfg]

Always glad to see companies coming back. Support 'em even if you disagree with the original move, maybe more companies will bring work back.

Now if we could just get Sig to move production back to Germany...

Buck Knives would have been foolish to not seek and receive governmental incentives to return.

I'm sure it occurred.

I have had the same Buck folder for over 30 years. It has always been my official deer field dressing knife, so it has gone through 30 or so. It still looks as good as it did when I got it (wish I could say the same about the leather holder). It holds an edge good enough and sharpens pretty good as well.

I thought Case was either getting ready to or had just launched an entire line of china made knives(just like Buck)? Maybe someone who knows for sure can chime in here.

All hope is lost.

We may as well run amok in the streets and cry havoc.

I'm practiced in running amok thru the streets.




Does amok mean, like, naked??
