    Ordered the 2.0 tonight. I am hoping it arrives before the EWO class next weekend, I'd love to get some reps in with the trainer.

    I hope it arrives as well. Have you done EWO yet?

    They're better dude. Not Ban Tang sharp but for a factory blade made in China it's good.

    Oof. The Harmonized Tariff Schedule is a weird thing to navigate, and at least on the clothing and outdoor side of things leads to some design changes just to lower the tariff applied, but I have no idea how that translates to cutlery, or if there are any options in that vein.

    Tariffs cut my business in half last year... Ouch.

    8211.92.90.45 (sheath-type knife) ... Was... 6.1%.... Currently... 21.1% (plus 0.4 cents/each).

    Some of our products went from 2% to 37%..

    I'm ok with what Trump is doing to bring China to heel. But I hope it's over soon (I fear not). Here's the sad part.... Even with a +25% tariff, it's still cheaper to do metalwork in China vs. what US shops are quoting me for moving business stateside. I can build it in China, ship it by air, and still be less cost and faster, without sacrificing quality. Crazy.

    Nope, this is my first time. I am hoping they take pity, and are merciful.

    And the new Clinch Pick set arrived yesterday! Very fast shipping, and a very big tip of the Stetson to the folks at SPG!

    I really do like the new handles. They orient very well, and I spent time last night working with the trainer.

    I've got a pair of the sheaths Cecil designed on order from JM Custom, and am looking forward to carrying them.

    I have one of the Ban Tang titanium double-edged Clinch Picks for suit carry, and love it as well.

    What's the chance that you might have a link??
