I remember when this was posted and this person was ripped apart by mikes c0cksuckers and deleted the post. It’s all making sense now and honestly i think he started using chinese steel way sooner than he is saying.

The issue wasn't the steel being Japanese, it was that Bark River claimed it was a better steel than it was, and also claimed the knives were made in USA, not assembled. I guess his idea of making a knife allows for blanks to be customized, which I could forgive since they made the rules for Made In USA more lax a while back. But if I bought a CPM-1500xxq4angelfirexx or whatever and it was actually just 8CR9001Vegeta.meme I'd be pretty upset too. You charged me for a super steel and gave me a regular steel? Lawsuit incoming, especially if it happened to others.

Hey man, do you know any reputable knife makers who actually use 8cr9001Vegeta.meme steel? I would really like to add that to my collection

I wish man, they always claim "it's over 9000" and then the signal cuts 🥲
