smith and wesson rant
 

i just went to tractor supply the other day and picked up a smith and wesson knife it was only a 5 dollar flick open knife but still it carries the smith and wesson brand name and logo BUT upon closer inspection i found that it said MADE IN CHINA!!!!!!!!! what the bloody hell!?!?!?!? smith and wesson ?!?!?!? that's right up there with the american flag that stands for america and it's made in damn china?!?! that just made me sick and made me want to jump **** and head for the border.............any help getting over this atrocity is appreciated....

Many of the Army's new berets were also mad there!:eek:

Actually, 2 million were to be ordered from China, but the Army did an "about face"...
(probably found them in "close-out" at WalMart).


Sorry, komrade...Must I stand in front of tank now? ;)

Hey be quiet and eat your dog food, drink your milk, brush your teeth, and eat paint off toys.....

a chicken has a certain...wessonality.

That's what happens when you decide that $5 is sufficient for a knife.

It's not.

The Smith & Wesson brand name for knives is owned by Taylor Cutlery. Manufacture is farmed out to different sub-contractors. Quality can vary a lot between manufacturers.

I think I have the same knife bought at Tractor Supply. If you paid $5 for it where did you expect it was made. You can't buy anything for $5 made in the USA.

Ever since they started putting the "lawyer lock" on S&W revolvers, I've ignored anything with their name on it.

the knife was just kindof an secondary thought i just saw it and picked it up i have better knives but i saw it and figured what the hell

$5 knife?

I can't even find a decent five dollar sock.

Always kind of funny when someone on a Porsche forum complains when something isn't made in the U.S. :)

Although it is kind of lame that something with the S&W logo is being made in a different country it would probably cost them more than $5 to make that same knife here.

I received an interesting knife from the NRA as a thank you.

Yep, you guessed it!!! NRA Logo and stamped China. Depressing!!!!

take a look at where most american flags are being made these days.

i hate to say it but this country is starting to suck ..............ive already got my flame suit on

You may want to peek at some of the labels on your clothing.

My father is buried in Calverton National.

The flag from his casket was given to us in a nice wood display case, Made In China.

Makes all the efforts that France does to keep jobs and products "in country" sound kind of brillant in retrospect now, doesn't it? All the supporters of pure capitalism can claim to "own" the current financial crises we have in America right now.
