SMith & Wesson knives. Thoughts???

SteelMan · 08-27-2018, 12:15 AM

Hi everyone, I've always been a fan of Smith Wesson handguns, and recently I discovered that they also offer knives. I like knives, but I am only into quality knives. Wanted to ask you folks, can you say anything about them?
My assumption is based on the price, which is approx between $20 and $40. I assume, a good knife won't be sold that cheap, but maybe I am mistaken?... I dunno. Or maybe that's a kind of promo as they recently launched the knives lineup and attract new customers this way?

Any thoughts?

S&W doesn't actually make knives and based on the price I'm going to assume these are made in China.
So, for the price, probably not much quality.

No one is going to offer quality knives at those low prices as a promo or anything else.
This is simply a situation were a famous name licenses that name to some other company to sell items with the famous name on them.
For knives, among others S&W, Colt, Kalashnikov, Winchester, Remington, and others have allowed their name to be put on knives.
In fact, the actual company has nothing to do with it. They simply allow the use of the name by a company that has no real relationship to them.

My advice is if you want more then a novelty knife spend a little more money and get a better knife.

Okay, thanks for replying, man. That's what I thought. I believe they are rather souvenirs, than actual knives then as Chinese quality in terms of knives is usually no quality...
Now, before I saw these knives in the Internet, I also haven't heared of SW knives, that's why was surprised when actually saw them...
