MadaraYou should already know that WE is the OEM for a majority of what MASSDROP is putting out. Their quality is impeccable and they are priced extremely well. If you see a design you really like just go for it, but if nothing really speaks to you then don't. Also if you like Bob's work you can always buy through his store directly but it will cost you over $300, same goes for the stuff made by MKM (Italian) but you'll get M390.
Laxnerd213For someone who hesitates to buy a knife because of a $20 increase tells me where you are in life. My main point for saying "Chinese made - no thx" is because you would think that with the purchasing power that Drop has, they would consider making it here in the US. And to answer your question, no I don't buy cheap knifes.
MadaraYou need to go to bed... All of the knives mentioned are Chinese made. What are you doing here? I'd like to never give the Chinese any further USA business, but that's a bigger picture than we can tackle right here and right now. As I recall, Trump had a plan for making that happen. I'm sure he's working on it when he takes breaks from watching morning cartoons on TV. So, would you prefer that Drop use one of the 3 skilled facilities with track records of producing quality product, or would you prefer that Drop contract YOUR purchase out to a new startup plant in the US that will need 5 years to ramp up to the quality level that we all demand today?
Davidsh331#1 F**K Trump. #2 Why does it have to take 5 years to make quality products? Either we are part of the solution as a community or we are part of the problem as a community.
MadaraYou are a true class act!
I say no to the increase of the gent bc it's just not the value it was(and bc I had always planned to buy it at 80) and yet you make this about my financial status in life? Bc I dont want to shell out what I feel is an "extra" 20 bucks doesnt give you any indication of where I am in life. That's an absolutely ridiculous connection to make.
Second We knives aren't cheap in price or quality. If you are looking for only 500 USA made customs why are you even concerned about Massdrops purchasing power at all. You are simply too rich for this platform if a 250 dollar We made knife is considered cheap. The knives you want aren't sold here. Funny thing is the 250 dollar We Deacon will rival the action of any USA made knife.
I'd prefer every knife I own (and I dont own cheap knives either) be made in the USA. But right now We, Kizer and a few Chinese made manufacturers are kicking ass. They are simply making the best knives for the price pt. And while I dont love it I cant fault massdrop for having a good product and knowing it. I dont believe the gent should have seen that much a price increase but I guess that means I'm too poor to even comment.
massdrop01If we are too stupid to make knifes we should all start learning some Mandarin. We need to get our shit together and demand American made. If we don't ask for it, we won't get it.
MadaraGood news I already speak Mandarin as my mother tongue. Guess what, im also an American, paying taxes, contributing to the society and raising my family here :-)
