Quartermaster Knives

[joe138]

I was at Buds Guns in Severville Tn. and they have Quartermaster Knives. They are in the same price range as Benchmade. Does anybody know anything about them? Thanks. By the way, I did not find anything searching the forum and I have found their site.

You stay away, you stay the hell away from them. Just get the benchmade's or a spyderco.

What is the issue with them? I have a lot of knives, but the Quartermaster Mr. Roper looked pretty good. The blade profile is similar to the Paramilitary, but with a frame lock.

You can get better steel for less money, and then there is the long long line of internet threads about how they are not really made in the US. And they are some of the heavier knives to carry. You are much better off going with a ZT, Spyderco, or benchmade for the money.

Thanks, where would I find those threads, not that I doubt you, but their site plays on the "made in the U.S.A." thing.

I would do a quick google search should be very very easy to find.

Also quartermaster steals other knifemakers designs and does not give them credit or even get proper licensing. They did not even show up to Blade show their reputation is so bad.

This.

Thanks to all. I found some threads on Blade forums that discussed this. My internet connection has been pretty spotty in and out of the mountains but I knew I could get a quick response here.

I have one, the QTR-6. It's a OK knife. I only bought it cause I found a great deal on it. I would not buy one again.
