Can't be any more true then that!It may be true but because I read it on AGN from a massive FX hater that heard from someone else hardly makes it a truth. The hate is almost comical.

Garbage steel on the knives. Junk will not keep an edge. They look nice and are put together well, but crap for the actual blade.Civivi/WE Knives and OLight are pretty sweet

Recently purchased an Athlon Talos spotting scope. Good value for money. Will be looking at Athlon scopes in the future.

theres a reason why people consider msot stuff from china junk. Its because 99.9% of the time it is or that its low quality or doesnt last. Yes there is some things that are ok. but generally theres a valid reason for the stereotype.

I would agree they are not as good as other brands when it comes to available steel, but they are low cost alloys. I have found my pile of Civivi D2 and 14C28N to be the same or better quality when compared to other brands across the globe.

Why on earth does this even matter? If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't no matter what country. Personally, there are American made products I wouldn't go near with a 10 foot pole. (I'm sure THAT will get me in trouble).

wrong points lol, if China wasnt around you couldnt buy an Athlon for a very nice price and good quality.
European and Japanese riflescopes are very very expensive.

I've been in their factory 1,5 year ago and their parts are made in house. They have a couple of CNC milling machines running to source their own parts. up to a year ago they had their anodizing outsourced but they can do that in-house now as well.

Perhaps those who are not interested in answering the OP’s question but would rather have a different discussion should start their own thread.

If every part has an international price (commodity), then the reduced price is possible because of less pay to people that produce the goods…… That mean that we as consumers are pushing in order that people earn less money ….. We could think that the workers that receive small salaries live in China, but the fact is that if factories are in China, then the future is to have lees local employment, because is more expensive, and then people don’t buy more expensive goods……..
This explanation may sound too simple….. But simple do not mean, in this case , false …… We are building future local social caos.

It matters because it is FX.
When you are an FX hater you sit around thinking of another reason to hate FX.
What else are you going to do with your time when you never have to touch your air gun except to shoot it? Well, you set out to convert the lost souls and prevent any neophytes from falling into the tar pit know as FX. It is the least you can do.

Depends on the knife. There are Civivi and We knives out there with NitroV, Damascus, M390, 14C28N, D2 and CPM 20CV. All of which are also used in a myriad of small high quality EDC knives made all over.

I wrote a novel, but deleted it, here is the summary: QC is what matters. Junk can come from anywhere.
