Just curious - does anyone have any experience with these knives?

Some years ago I looked at one, and it was Pakistani made. Up close it became apparent why they could sell these knives as this price point.

Save your money.

I always thought they were some kind of Chinese junk.

I thought this was Chinese Junk.

Stayer has been selling cheap "designer" watches for years. Now they've branched out into knives. Don't buy goods from a company that puts more into marketing then they do on their products.

All the above is sound advice! No, I do not "speak" from experience. My Grandfather & Father taught me many years ago, "if it sounds to good, it probably isn't!".

I have had the opportunity to handle and sharpen a few of them, I sharpen things for a living. They are made in several countries, none of them none to make good or even “okay” knives.

I am annoyed with the NRA. When they offered pocket knives, the knives were **** made in China. Why not contract with an American company? I will shut up now.

You are right on all counts!

Before I upgraded to my NRA life membership, as many of you well know, the NRA would send out these promotional deals to get you to renew early or upgrade. Invariably, they offered junky Chinese made freebies as an incentive. I used to tell them, when I renewed, to just keep it. "Don't want it. Don't need it."
I don't understand American organizations (the VFW is the same way) that do similar promotions.
To me, it just shows a waste of their financial resources.

In any case, all those Stauer products should be branded with a warning: "There's no such thing as a free lunch"!

PS: How about we start a new thread to discuss the Zoysia grass ads in American Rifleman/First Freedom....
Do you almost get the sense that if something is advertised in these publications, you can practically be assured that it's no good?

About all I remember about the Stauer watches was that they had a very short warranty. Maybe 90 days. Probably a reason for that. I may even have a Stauer watch somewhere, don't remember.

Have never heard of these.
But lately have walked through Gun Shows where entire tables of knives
Scream - Pakistan!

I would not consider one of those knives. I am sure they are junk, but the advertising dollars are big I am sure. The NRA knives are made in China junk just like S&W knives.

I have a hard fast rule on knives and footwear. Buy American!

Low end knives not worth buying IMHO. Put the price they sell for towards a quality knife.

I just went to the Stauer website and took a look at their "collector knives."

It seems to me that a diligent buyer could find American made versions of many of their knives for about the same money, or for only a bit more. Case XX has a ton of American-made folding knives in the mid-two figure range.

The rest of their other stuff looks like the sort of Asian-made junk that I expect to see at the local flea market on Saturday morning, next to a handwritten cardboard sign advertising "genuine samurai swords!" Hard pass on that.

Ironic that the junk ads in AR are much like the junk vendors in most gun shows. Next they’ll be hawking jerky in AR.

Yep thought they were all junk! Lousy steel and poorly made. Rather invest in a Buck or Benchmade.

Cheap knives have their place. As long as they are of "service duty" and priced accordingly I buy them occasionally

I agree, they have a place on a workbench or tackle box, but still I do not buy them. The NRA keeps me supplied with junk knives

I have a lot of knives.
Can’t always remember where I got them.
Like this one -
Why would I buy this?
I didn’t!
I found it.
Possibly the buyer just threw it away!

I do have one. A mechanical with moon phase that is over 20 yrs old. Still keeps perfect time. No complaints.

I did get a Buck knife one time from the NRA, but that was a long time ago.
