Bark River Knife And Tool
False advertising, claimed knives are 100% american made, but are using japan made blades ripoff

Bark River Knife and Tool claims to make 100% American Made knives and guarantee this. My husband and a few family members worked for this company. The blades for some of the knives made here are made in Japan. How is this 100%American made? They purchase their blades from Sheffield Knifemaker Supply, www.sheffieldsupply.com.

They also claim that their blades are made from A-2 tool steel. This is far from the truth. The Japanese made blades are made from 6A stainless steel, which is bottom of the barrel steel.

Here is a discription of some of the blades used, right from the sheffields catalog. Page 96 Blade MX13 Guard MX13GA, these are for the knife called Blackwater Bootknife. Page 96 Blade MX17 Bolster MX17B, these are for the knife called Southern Skinner. Page 97 Blade MX24 this for the knife called Colonial Patch Knife. Page 97 Blade MX27 this is for the Mini Skinner Knife. Page 98 Blade MX50 Bolster MX50B this for the knife called Tonto. Page 98 Blade MX56 this for the knife called Copperhead. Page 98 Blade MX57 this is for the Clip Point Skinner knife. The MX57 is also used for the Bird and Trout Knife.

The made in Japan stamp that is put on the blades has been ground off the blades. Also some of the blades have been modified for the different models of knives.

On the box of each knife mentioned in this complaint, it is stated that each knife is 100% American Made. As the knife is sold to each customer, how can they claim that each knife is American made when the blades are Japanese made?

These knives are sold by these companies: Blue Ridge 1-800-635-2583, A.G. Russell 1-800-255-9034, Knifeworks 1-888-225-9775, Bowie Corp. 906-864-3922. These companies were notified about the fraudulent claims of being 100% American made knives.

I think this company should have to do a recall and replace every blade that they lied about.
