Master Cutlery includes brands such as Mtech, Mtech xtreme, and Elite Tactical to name a few. These are the best that Master Cutlery has to offer. They seem to be pretty good knives. Many people tend to buy them due to their cost, and the good materials they use to manufacture their products regardless of the fact that they steal designs from other companies, and use deception and false info when describing the products they offer. Here's the good info that many of you may be interested in knowing. I've purchased a couple of knives from the "Elite Tactical" line because they claimed the steel that they use to manufacture the knives from is 440c, and 440c is what is actually written on the blade, but guess what? It's not. I called Master Cutlery and started to ask questions. They would not answer any of them unless I was a wholesaler. So I lied, to get the truth. I told them I was on my way to get my license and gave them a fake business name to pull some answers out of them. I normally would feel bad about lying, but since they lie to us the consumer so often I feel no guilt whatsoever. I found out straight from a representative that the 440c they say that they use to make this top of the line brand is actually 7cr17mov, and that's not even equivalent to 440c, but rather 440a. So this means that the 440a they claim to use is not even equal to true 440a. I knew all along that they were not using any 440 steel because why would they import American steel to China. Plus there is no way they could reach those price points if they did. So Master Cutlery uses 7cr17mov when they say it's 440c, and the knives that they label as 440a is not even close to 440a. Can't people who purchased these sue for false advertising? Well today's phone call just proves that the company is based on lies and deception still to this day.
 
Truth or lies, i wouldnt buy them in the first place. Ill stick with the ZT in my pocket.
 
There is a lot of questionable blade material, and have been several instances of supposed fraudulent blade markings.

Sue? Would you pay the tens of thousands it takes to sue over a fifty dollar knife?
 
Of course not, but a class action should be filed on behalf of everyone who's purchased their goods on the premise of the descriptions that they use. It happened to Leatherman, and the people (consumers) won. The Leatherman lawsuit was bull crap. They were sued because it said made in the USA on their tools when just a couple of the tools were imported such as the file, and knife blade. The sheaths were outsourced as well, but everything was assembled in the USA, and almost the entire tool was manufactured in the USA. Master Cutlery is much worse and flat out lies to the public therefore a class action would be absolutely warranted and justified.
 
You don't think they are the only company that does that do you? Any knife made in China that claims 440 steel should be viewed with the knowledge that it isn't real 440A or C. Does that make it a less useful knife? Not for me. I tend to not buy too many knives in this class though and when I do it's going to be from a company I can trust like Spyderco who tests the steel and QC's the knives. I'm purchasing a Byrd, not a XYZ knife. So far I have liked what I have gotten from Byrd.
 
He's got a point. It's one thing to have a crappy product, and it's another to flat out not care about the customer. But to slap a tag on something that it's not is wrong.
