"Chinese Factory Manufactured Knives
Whether we like them or loath them, Chinese manufactured knives have found their way into collections of all sorts across the entire globe. The intent of this forum is to offer a place where AAPK members can discuss the knives and not the politics."

Bryan created this forum to provide a place where members could discuss Chinese made cutlery without the hassle of the continual political discussion that some members seem to think they must interject into every thread that mentions Chinese cutlery.
The other moderators and I have become somewhat lax in that we have allowed the same little band of "political activist" to invade what is supposed to be a politics free zone with their rants.
I want to give fair warning here and now that from this point forward the NO POLITICS rule will be strictly enforced. If you can't resist launching a political rant then be prepared to spend your time elsewhere because you won't be spending it here any longer.
One of the things that sets AAPK apart from many other online websites it the way members interact RESPECTFULLY toward one another. I fully realize that the influx of Chinese made cutlery into the U.S. marketplace is an emotional issue for some and perhaps many of our members. That does not, however, entitle anyone to continually harass those who wish to discuss knives made in China or anywhere else.
