Does anyone here know the names of the companies that Cold Steel uses (or has used) to produce the knives they sell?
I know for example that Camillus in New York produced product for Cold Steel in the early years before they folded. Hattori Hamono of Japan once supplied a number of tantos for Cold Steel. Similarly, Lasher Tools of South Africa produces many of Cold Steel's "machete-type" instruments, and Huanuo Sword Art of Shanghai still produces swords for Cold Steel.
I've read that Buck once produced fixed-blade knives under contract for Cold Steel, but I cannot confirm that. Anyone here happen to know for certain?
I'm also curious who else individual suppliers might be selling to, including Cold Steel's competitors or under their own labels?
