Buck knives to come back home

[longbarrel]

Just saw this on CBS Nightly News...Buck knives are coming back to the u.s.a. CJ Buck is "ready to be done with China" So back to Idaho we go. +1 for Buck

 

[grunt soldier]

that's great news

 

[DaKruiser]

That is good news, thanks for sharing!

It is good news to here but they should have never had left in the first place. I wonder how much money these companies lose making knives in China? (Cold Steel, Buck, Spyderco, Gerber, etc.)

Not just money but intellectual property. The chinese have no sense of ethics and will steal the stamps/ molds/ heat treat protocols etc.

Glad to hear it. Now if only Shrade will bring Old Timers back.

Criminals engaging in thuggery and theft and operating under the protection of a sovereign nation....as if the Chinese government isn't largely employing them directly.

No sense of ethics? If that isn't a profound understatement, few know what it.

Bravo Buck!

Of course this is great news. Now I hope more will buy Buck knives again. They are very slow movers for me and I only sell the USA made ones anyway.

Would expect nothing less from you

That is my problem with them, I have two of there blades(maybe I will take a pic so you can tell me what they are) but the steel is horrible and very hard to sharpen for me. The edge burrs easily and chips like no body's business.
Both made in Taiwan...China's little brother.

Nice jobs came back, but like another posted, why did they ever leave?
The bridge has been burned for me.

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

Well Raspberry's to buck for leaving but I'm glad to see the American Companies thinking things through and bringing things back,

I've been a buck fan for a long time but have to admit I have held off buying because they have been off shore

2nd that....'specially the GOOD Uncle Henry's......

And uhh.....If Buck does that,move their stuff back here,then....I'll think 'bout buy'n again......

Sooo.....
Who's to say they ain't?.....35 bux an hr ain' no money,dude....'specially if yer like some of us,and self-employ'd....

I don't think law dudes and doctors are worth what they charge neither,but if ya need 1.....ya got'a pay it....anybody that can't work on they own s**t,(cars/truck/house/plumb'n,etc.,etc) gonna cost ya upwards of 75-85 bux hr for that stuff....THEN....ya got "parts" on top of that.....got'a short circuit in yer wall someplace?....150 bux JUST ta have the dude roll in yer drive('lectrician).....an' ya don't even wanna think 'bout have'n yer HVAC replaced... I could go on,but....ya get the drift,don'cha?......

(Oh...yeah.....last loaf/bread I got, think was on sale....2.79.....fer bread...)

Unlike a knife, bread is easy to make for less than a dollar.

Well hopefully you will be a patron of Buck knives again even though they still were making some of their knives here.

It is hard to have everything you own USA made.

I've got to agree with , whatever that was , "drbarnes " was trying to say.

The top dogs are just raping the working people one lawyer at a time .

Even in "the good times" the rich got richer and the working people as a whole , got shafted .

.broad generalizations will always have many exceptions but the greed is hard to rationalize .
