This is a communication that I received from Taylor knives, about my
WORTHLESS CHINESE FAKE KNIFE! So declared by the experts on the S&W Forum.



Earl,

Thank you for contacting Taylor Brands. I am sorry for the delay in
response; I have in contact with a couple of people trying to get you
the correct information on your request below. The item mentioned below
was made in the USA but it was before Taylor Brands starting making
knives for Smith & Wesson. Also, we have never marked a blade with a
false country of origin, this is illegal. Please let me know if I may
be of further assistance.


Thank you,

Russell E. Taylor

Sirs,

Can you give me some information on a S&W Knife I bought in the 1990's?
It is a model 1000, automatic knife. It is marked as being handmade in
the United States, but so-called experts on the S&W Forum, claim that
you never made any knives in the United States, or anywhere else, and
that all of your knives are bought from China, with phony markings on
them.

Any help you can give me, would be greatly appreciated.



Thank You,

Earl Hawkes.
