China Queen already causing confusion

Post by Eye Brand Man »

This is a new China made queen Barlow. In can be had for 29.99 bin free ship. Maybe even cheaper at other places. The current bid is 51.00 plus 6.95 shipping. You have to assume the bidders don’t realize Queens are made in China now ::facepalm::

And it doesn’t even faintly resemble a “real” Queen! ::uc::

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

I looked around out of pure curiosity and it can be had for as little as 13.48 on one online site.

What confuses me is I read somewhere here on AAPK, can't recall the thread now, but think it said S&M/Queen was going to start making knives in Ohio, USA, and I was interested. If it's just more Chinese stuff, no thanks, not into it. But would love to see a new USA made Queen/S&M if they are being made. Thought they were coming out in early 2021. BigHomer had some Chinese ones he said were basically a Rough Rider Chinese. What happened to the Ohio made ones? Not out yet maybe? Also never fails to amaze me what some people pay on feeeeeeeebayyyyyy for the same thing at dealers for much less money. Amazing. Or crazy.

As I understand it, only the Schatt & Morgan knives are still made in the U.S.A. Queen was sold to SMKW and are now made in China.
