Like Queen and Canal Street Cutlery/Canal Street Co-Op?
The problems with Queen at the end have been posted about plenty of times before. They didn't go under because they competed against GEC, they went under because they were shipping a lot of junk to discerning knife enthusiasts.
I don't know why Canal Street went under, I haven't looked into that too much.
My apologies, but it appears to me, that every small company producing a well made knife that goes toe to toe with GEC don't last too long.
So rather than trying to beat a small company at their game you think this new company running on 100 year old tools should go against the giants of the industry?
Case has over 350 employees and is a well known brand.
Victorinox has nearly 2000 employees. They make about 45,000 knives every day. Some guy in Ohio that bought some used up tooling isn't going to take them on.
