Quartermaster Officially Busted

It's really a shame. By all accounts they actually make good knives, but all the Jr. High marketing BS really puts me off.

If they'd just been honest and said they designed some knives and then had them made by someone in China I'd have no problem with them.

not all there knives are good. and even some of the materials are not what they say they are. in any case, anyone can make a knife action good.

In on 1.

An excellent optician I know told me how many eyeglass frames are made in China and shipped to Italy, where they get a "Made in Italy" stamp.

"Made in Italy" from global components.

My Polo glasses had a 50/50 chance of Italy or China. At least they were upfront about having multiple factories.

I have seen fake m-techs. Trust me. If there is any money to be made it really doesnt matter how obscure the model is.

The law is that if your product is made 51% in the usa you can label usa made on it. however this law is not enforced what so ever. so Jared has decided to make them in china (and mexico etc) and have the made in texas made in usa printed on them in hopes they are never found out.

very bad for them to deliberately lie for sales and marketing.

I think that 51% is based on value too. So if they have the whole knife made in china for $50 and claim they put $51 into it stateside then its ok. :confused:
 
This isn't the proof they are Chinese made. Unfortunately there isn't really any solid proof of that, but enough red flag to safely assume everything is not above board. We have theft from Warren Thomas and burying him under lawyers to prevent action. We have large shipments of knives from China originating from WE knives. We have claims of a facility that is actually a residence, and far too small to house everything (and the residence is up for sale to boot). Finally we have a company head or something (his role is pretty unknown) known for scummy behavior, Jared West.

There isn't much for solid proof aside from Warren Thomas, but the rest raises red flags like we are at a Matador convention... And again these bastards stole from Warren Thomas and buried his recourse under lawyers, so he can't pursue action.
 
The 51% made in US standard is for the Buy American Act which, 'requires that a product be manufactured in the U.S. of more than 50 percent U.S. parts to be considered Made in USA for government procurement purposes.' For more information, review the Buy American Act at 41 U.S.C. §§ 10a-10c, the Federal Acquisition Regulations at 48 C.F.R. Part 25, and the Trade Agreements Act at 19 U.S.C. §§ 2501-2582.

'For a product to be called Made in USA, or claimed to be of domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be "all or virtually all" made in the U.S. The term "United States," as referred to in the Enforcement Policy Statement, includes the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories and possessions.

What does "all or virtually all" mean?
"All or virtually all" means that all significant parts and processing that go into the product must be of U.S. origin. That is, the product should contain no — or negligible — foreign content.' FTC.

If you know about import or export fraud, call Customs’ toll-free Commercial Fraud Hotline, 1-800-ITS-FAKE.

I kind of like the Mr. Roper. Although it looks to me like a design 100% ripped off of Warren Thomas.

It's a pretty blatant ripoff.

The original Warren Thomas "Model 2.5"

Cleary Warren Thomas used a time machine or perhaps future viewing powers to look into the future and steal Quartermaster's design to claim for his own.

There I have removed the wool from your eyes.

Clearly you don't know of the state-of-the-art security manufacturing plant of squirtermaster that includes time travel protection devices and psychic blocker(tm).
 
When warren Thomas came out with that design,that Jared was still potty training.Anyone who says those two knives above are not similar is probably smoking texas tea;another dumb name from the think tank of Quarterdisaster....
