Sadly this has become all to common. Browing knives are now made in China the appearance is ok but quality of workmanship is lacking. My own employer is a world wide manufacturer of cutting and welding equipment and while our products are not made in china (yet) most of our product is now being made overseas and south of the border all in the name of increased profit although I think some has to do with product liability. |

Most of the knife manufacturers have their USA made lines, and their "international " lines. Many of these foreign made knives are actually made in Japan, Italy, and Spain. These are usually of a very high quality. Some of the Chinese built knives are built from compononents which are made in the US, but shipped to China for assembly. Sure some of this stuff is lacking in quality, but it would surprise most people to know how good a lot of the cutlery actually is, even if made overseas. The finest quality knives are all from Solengen, Germany, and Toledo, Spain, with a great deal of USA made products becoming increasingly better. Buck has some of the best, and highest quality American built knives on the market, Gerber is another company that is hard to beat. Some of the older names, such as Case, Tiduet,and Queen, still make good quality knives, while a few of the newer companies are much more innovative,an example is Columbia River Knife and Tool. The bottom line is don't get complacent with old names such as Schrade, Black Jack, Bear, and Marbles, and definitely pay attention to the tang stamps when considering a knife purchase. |

I have to be very careful when researching new blades for some of the knives I build. Even though I deal alot with companies from the USA, some of the products they offer are made in China. My first question to these folks when shopping for blades is 'Where are the blades made?" and "where is the steel made?". Don't be afraid to ask and don't think yourself being rude for asking.
That being said, I have found some decent knives offered that were made in China as well. I have to give credit where it is due. The small pocket knives I posted awhile back for $10 each are one such case. OF course they are simply a $10 knife that is a good choice for daily carry. IF I had to ask more than what i do for them, then I wouldn't even offer them. For the price, they are a good little knife.
I honesty would like to beleive that the club is trying to do us all a service by offering some of the deals they get. YES, they are for profit, they always have been. Face it the folks who work for the club gotta eat too. But if thy are sincere in the way they choose and offer the products, being completly up front about where they are made then I don't see a problem. Just be sure and do the footwork to offer the best quality possible and stand beind what they offer as well. |

I know there are certain items you can't buy made here. My thought they slowly took are manufacturing jobs away and we need to slowly bring them back. If guys can save 2 cents on anything thats the way they go and that needs to stop. The job you save may be your own. |

Maybe, just perhaps, if the GD Unions were dissolved, and wages were brought back to an honest pay for an honest day's work, some of those jobs would come back. Obama's a$$ kissing of the Unions, and this dumb fugging Health Care Bill, on top of this fugged up Cap and Trade Bill, and Amnesty BS, will prevent the return of those jobs that have been sent overseas, and that along with the skirt chasing Clinton's NAFTA Treaty will insure that those jobs won't ever come back. |

My sentiment exactly rthomas unions are so fake. I can't believe the number of people who follow that agenda blindly along. Unions have never created 1 job but they sure as he-- have cost millions. Get rid of them all. |

The unfortunate thing is that there are alot of jobs one CANNOT get unless they are in the union. To get in the union, they have to pay and then play the politics games so they can get a job that will most likely end up being outsourced eventually because the company can not afford to pay the union wage. There WAS a tie when the unions served a solid purpose but those days are gone. The laws now in place have made the unions obsolete. All the unions do is COST the worker and the companies that would otherwise provide more jobs to those needing them. |

Buying made in the “USA” is all our jobs! It’s worth the extra money and the piece of mind knowing you help keep some “American” in a job, then you just hope someone else feels the same way to keep you in a job.

Totally agree, fellers! The knife set that I received from NAHC is made in China, but the set that I received from Buckmasters is"Western" and made in the USA. A much better set. I suppose that if it was the only thng you had to survive with in the wilderness, it would suffice, and would be better than a sharp rock....... SSG, US Army (Retired) 1972 -1992 |

Why must you always pick on union jobs? They are American,they employ American workers that get paid better than non union with better bennies etc. The jobs are in America. Drive a truck delivering concrete for $8/Hr with limited benny or drive a truck delivering concrete for a union shop for over $18/Hr with full benny,retirement pension etc. Not a hard choice to make. Unions DO provide well paying jobs. Yes I pay dues,so what? It's all part of the game. NAFTA is the major screw up in this country,not unions. The country was built on unions that gave men a fair wage for a hard day worked.
I agree that the club should sell American made stuff VS imported crap.....after all,it is called the North **AMERICAN*** Hunting Club is it not? |

Because unions empower the socialist state, and support Obama and the democrats! Unions once served a purpose, but now the folks who truly benefit from the unions, are their leaders! I agree that NAFTA has caused a lot of our problems, but after all it was the unions that supported Clinton, and he pushed for the NAFTA passage. |

I recently had to buy a new clothes dryer so I searched online for the brands that were made in USA. Whirlpool was one of them. I found one on sale and after I got home with it I seen on the box "Assembled in the USA." |

I'm sending a handsaw back that they sent me. Mainly because it was made in China, and it's nothing but a piece of junk that they want $20.00 for. I would come more likely to buy the products if they were made here. |

Man I was begining to think that I was the only one that was upset with the Chinese made product pushed by this club with the complaints and inquiries I've made to the club faling on def ears, but it looks as if I am not alone. I think if this club wants to continue to prosper that they may do well to take heed and listen to the membership!!

seems no matter where we go now days , obama has helped the import of chinese junk , and export of american industry to everyplace but here , and unions support him?????????? we support the club so they can afford to hunt while we wait for support from the club for our gun rights , for lands to be opened for hunting or purchased for hunting , where is our support from this club? and the inside track advocating that the single men look for land rich ladies to marry or live with that will support their hunting habits , what are they thinking of ?? we want women as hunters here , this is like a slap in the face of women , do they think women are that in need of a man as to afford him land to hunt on just to have him around ?? the poll on what your most afraid of returning home to when you come off a hunting trip is the grumpy hunting widow , number 1 on the poll , thats not funny boys , she will make you single and to poor to hunt if your not careful |

The future of hunting is dependent on the increasing numbers of women and kids who are getting involved. No way should either of those groups be discouraged from participation whether it's a joke or not!!!!!!! Just remember lionsshare1, the NAHC DOES NOT actively fight for our gun rights!!!!!!! |

I've been hunting, fishing and hiking for many years through out North America and in many parts of South America. In recent years it has been nothing less than frustrating. Let me explain. I have tried to outfit a few newcomers to outdoor activities and have only come across equipment that is of extreme cost and quality that is so low I should be getting paid to take it. In my delusional world, I thought that in joining the NAHC I would be helping to support quality hunting and future hunters in America. I have only come to find my search for quality and support for the American hunter is still ongoing. The NAHC no longer needs to send anything to me, because from what I have received to this point the club is only supporting itself and the US Postal Services. |

Once upon a time, in a land called America, there were two folks with the last name of Burke. They started a little organization and named it the North American Hunting Club. A few years later, they sold out to a publishing company, who then got bought out by an investment firm, and after about 4 or 5 different ownership groups, a BRITISH company ended up owning the "CLUB". About three years ago, the Brits divested the "Club" and their other membership organizations to another ownership group named the North American Membership Group! Now go down to the bottom of the page and look at all of the affiliates who are owned by this mega-conglomerate, and find me anything that actually resembles a club, much less anyone of them that promotes, provides, sells, or in any manner whatsoever has anything to do with anything North American, other than the fact those two adjectives are used in the name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     |

You know the way i look at it is dont blame the club as the goverment thinks that it should tax the businesses out of the USA .And then you have the UNIONS that think even the people sweeping the floors in a factory should be makeing 25.00 dollars an hour and has drove all the jobs over seas .Very few items are made here anymore for those reasons .And until we get rid of the over taxing goverment and the over paid UNIONS you will have to start living with it .
Sorry that i feel that way but it is the truth. |

I guess this is one of those things that we could argue about for the rest of our lives so instead I think I will just agree to disagree I do agree that the club should be offering things made in the U.S.A GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR HUNTING |

Unions might have been a good thing at the turn of the century, but the days of their usefulness has long ago passed. Why should anyone be forced to pay money in order to work? That's criminal coercion any way you look at it. Why is it that right to work states, like South Carolina are harassed and sued in efforts to deny jobs to folks who do not want to be unionized? The unions pushed for laws and regulations that increased the minimum wage and supported NAFTA; both of which have driven companies to cease manufacturing in this country and turn to overseas markets. The union leaders, as a result, are living off of the sweat of union member's labor and stealing the income of those laborers in order to live fat cat wealthy life styles and support the socialiazation of our country by the Democrats and this fuggin' idiot we have in the White House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I worked Union and non-union both for a number of years before I got sick. I was union at the time I got sick and requested a withdrawl for health reasons ( I had Cancer). The union health insurance did NOTHING for me, the insurance from my military career paid for my treatments. NOT the VA here but Tri-Care. The Va said I had Brochitus for 4 months. Left to them, I would be dead. Left to the Union and I would be dead. When I requested the withdrawl, I was denied it because I was 34 hours short of being fully vested. The membersip even voted at the meeting about it but the higher ups refused it and refused to let me work out the 34 hours as well.
The folks IN the union are some of the best folks I have worked with. They took up a collection on their own and sent it to the house for for Christmas. THAT was from the members and not the union itself.
YES, the unions have a place, maybe NOT what they are doing now but in taking care of the members FIRST. |

Brian, I don't believe those folks did what they did for you out of any thing to do with the union, but out of love and respect for you, a fellow worker who had been screwed over by the system and the union bosses. I would imagine, that even if those people and you were not members of a union, but simply co-workers, they would have been just as generous and caring towards you, Miss Kathy, and your family! |

I agree, they did because they were GOOD folks. No one put them upto it, they did it on their own. The Union on the other hand did everything it could to get out of meeting the obligations it had agreed to when I joined, even to the point of not letting me take jobs when they were there and I was still able to work for fear of my reaching the hour for full vesting. |

Pro union or anti union the post is about the chinese junk being sold/given away on here.My idea is to somewhat form a union on here and all the members that get made in china junk from here simply send it back with the comment that you as a U.S. citizen do not support the distrubution of chinese made products and if it continues you will have to remove your membership thus hitting them where it counts IN THE POCKET. |

gparlette, the unions are the reason for the Chinese junk! You obviously are an annual member and have the option of not renewing your membership. Many of us, are either Life Members or Trophy Life Members, and the company already has our money. All we can do is refuse to purchase the sheit............and beitch about it!
You may want to form a GROUP to protest, but don't dare use the term UNION if you want any majority of members to support the group, as most of us are adamantly anti-union( there are some exceptions, but not a whole lot)! |

Agree with RT.
Reason they are promoting junk from the Chicons is because it's cheap and they can make more money to send the staff on 2-3 all inclusive trips every year to write a 2 page article in the magazine and TV Show. |

Even back when the NAHC was first formed by Steve and Paul Burke in the late 70's, the original Charter Member's belt buckle was made in China, so the NAHC has a long history of dealing with the Chinese, so none of this is anything new. |

Some Chinese products are pretty good quality. My problem is in the fact that Chinese leaders have stated, ever since the days of Mao Tse Tung, that their objective is to take over and conquer the US. They are steadily doing so with the investments, and loans while also receiving huge portions of that money returned to them in the form of foreign aid. Now, we have more and more companies sending work and investing into their economy...........an economy that one day may be used to develop better weapons and tactics for an all out military assault against the US. Everyday, we read of Chinese espionage against our Government, our military, and our technology, yet we continue to fund a country that blatantly funds enemies such as North Korea, Miranmar, Iran, and who knows how many others. Ever wonder just where all of those AK-47s that the Mexican drug cartels purchase through Nicaragua and Venezuela originate? Where do you imagine the funding is generated from that allows those weapons to be produced?
I will agree that when it comes to Automobiles, many of the components are manufactured in Japan, Germany, Mexico, and Canada; but, the last I heard none of those countries have actually declared an intent to pull down the US!!!!!!!! |

Now there trying to push more chinese crap via NORTH AMERICAN fishing club. I'm pretty tired ceo's and editors. GOD bless the American blue collar worker. |

The way I see it is if you buy low priced merchandise you get low quality merchandise, regardless of where it's made. Union bashing has no place on these forums. Most products seem to be made in china or some other country anymore, this is due to outsourcing, which in turn puts americans out of jobs. I try to buy american as much as possible, but I also look at quality, if the quality of something is better from China, will I save a buck? You bet I will. Most major knife makers are now having their products made in China, Buck Knives for one. They are all trying to save a nickle. Do I like it, nope. But nothing I can do about it. JMHO

SALBERS, Buck knives(as well as many other American knife manufacturers) has a line of knives that are made in China, but those are for their cheaper low end market. Buck still manufactures the majority of their knives in Post Falls, Idaho. Those are even better quality than some of their products from years ago! To insure you are buying American made knives ( of any brand name) look for the American flag on the package, and made in the USA on the tang. It is illegal to use either identifier on any knife that isn't 100% manufactured in the USA!!!!!!!!!
Some of the finest cutlery on the market today comes from Japan, Spain, and Italy; while German cutlery has always been the creme of the crop in quality steel and workmanship. Even the Swedes, Norwegians, and Danes are now making superior quality knives. Boker and Puma both have a line of knives that are made in Argentina that are the finest first quality. SOG which is one of the most popular lines in use today, especially among LEOs. Fire and Rescue, as well as our military, or mostly manufactured in China and are certainly not cheap or cheaply made.
I will agree that the knives offered by the NAHC are of the lowest end and cheapest quality representative of Chinese manufacture, which says a lot about this company and it's quality and value systems!!
BTW, union bashing is fine, especially considering that unions helped elect Obama and the majority of the Democrats in office. You know those same Democrats who sponsored, supported and passed NAFTA which sent thousands of jobs to Mexico and South America!!!!!!!! |

rthomas4, I agree with you on the knife issue, and am aware that Buck has only some of their product made in China. And there are some very well made knives from other countries. So far as Unions go, I would hope that Union member or non member people would make up their won mind as to who to vote for. I was a Union member for quite some time and never voted the way they told me to. I have always looked at where any candidate stood on my gun rights first, and their record on taxation second, all other views in importance to myself and my family. I have voted since the 60's and fought for my gun rights since I was able to vote. It has always bothered me that I usually end up voting for what I consider the lesser of two evils, due to none of them that I feel I could trust any further than I could throw them. We need to clean house and start fresh, with common working people who have at least some common sense and would live up to their campaign promises. Just my opinion, take it or leave it.

I agree with you RT and if the south would have won the war there would not be a Union that is where it came from anyway.. But the US people need to stand up and fight for this country like we did for there freedom or what we fought for was for nothing .. I don't like what this country is turning in to but intill the real US people stand up and fight we will just have to watch out for our self's..  LM NAHC, LM NRA, LM National Match Shooters ASSC and retired USMC Sniper and still ready to fight .. |

As a new member and potential life member I have but one question for all of you! "IF THE CLUB SUCKS SO BAD, WHY ARE YOU STILL MEMBERS?" The law states that if you receive UN-ORDERED THINGS IN THE MAIL YOU ARE NOT, (NOT) REQUIRED TO RETURN IT! If someone sends you something FMA keep it and enjoy maybe they'll stop sending you junk!] |
