Thread: americian angler fillet knifes

That is like saying you can buy a tool at K-Mart or Walmart, one will last a year and the other will last 7 or 8 months. To me unacceptable is just unacceptable either way. Hopefully they have listened to the masses and made a knife that is Quality and is worth the price. I wonder if it is US made? or made in China like so many things are today.

I have went through some tools in 33 years and I have found out that if you are gonna use a tool then you better buy a good one. I am sure there are more than one brand of Heavy Duty tools that will last and get the job done. I have pretty much settled on Milwaukee Tools.

I wish they made an Electric Fillet knife I would have one!

Probably the only thing american in it is the name. You would hope the one's over 100 bucks would last

I can tell you from running a business for 30 plus years, the Average US consumer shops one thing. Price!! Most could care less about Quality, where it was made, etc. This is a Huge reason why our economy is in the shape it is in.

Most people are content paying $20 for a piece of junk that lasts them one season, and don't demand more. Even when offered a Quality option at 3 times the price that would lets say last 5 times as long. They will still buy the Junk! My parents and Grand parents would never have accepted that.

My Grand Dad died at 93 and still owned hand tools that were in great condition with much better quality than you can buy any where today.

Amen, But there is no getting away from it. You can buy a stock Harley or Mack Truck part from a dealer that says either Made in Mexico or Taiwan. Not all of them but some.

I Agree! but the American consumer has driven the market that direction. If you don't supply the consumer what they want at the price they are happy with. Many will go online find the part or whatever at a price they are satisfied with and quality is low on their list of considerations.

I had an older gentleman tell me one time that if "You want Good Clean Oats you will have to pay a fair price, but!.....If you are satisfied with Oats after they have been through the Horse there are a Lot of Bargains"
