Bark River in Problemen?

Nicht zu Hause, in dem Unternehmen in dem ich als Prokurist beschäftigt bin haben wir eins und als Strahlenschutzbeauftragter kann ich es auch jederzeit nutzen. Wenn ich den Kohlenstoffgehalt benötige und Brennflecken hinterlassen darf nutz ich ein OES.
 
Der Umstand, dass Jason Thoune, der Eigentümer von DLT Trading, einem der größten Reseller von BRKT, sich dazu geäußert hat, macht wohl den Sack zu.

Which Bark River Knives models have been identified as deceptively labeled?
Three Bark River Knives models have been identified as Chinese-manufactured blanks that were labeled and sold as "Made in the USA." Employees at the Bark River Knives facility have confirmed that foreign-origin markings were removed from these blanks and that the knives were finished and presented as if they were fully manufactured at the BRK facility in Michigan. The affected models and their stated steels are as follows:

Fox River Trailing Point — stated as 154CM
Mini Manitou — stated as CPM-154
Camp Bolo — stated as CPM-154

DLT Trading did not manufacture, source, or inspect the raw materials used in these Bark River Knives products. We relied on the representations made by Bark River Knives regarding steel type and country of origin, as did every other authorized retailer. Please note that DLT Trading is considering sending all three knife batches for independent testing at Niagara Steel. We will keep you posted.

"LET'S MAKE THIS OFFICIAL .This is a Long Read but Important.
BARK RIVER KNIVES IS NOW CLOSED.
All business was concluded on Friday Afternoon March 20th 2026.
This Closing was long overdue - I should have done this over 2 years ago.
I need to say that all of this is 100% totally my responsibility.
As you have seen from the tons of posts I have been taking the heat since Friday.
There are many factors that lead to this but ultimately I'll take the Blame.
Please do not Blame Lesley Stewart or Jim Stewart for any of this.
In addition to my Mismanagement the Choice to use an Alternate Chinese Steel was my choice - not anyone else's Blunder.
Over the last 25 years we have made well over a million knives.
This blunder of mine only effected a few models
Here is the List of them.
Camp Bolo.
Fox River Skinner.
Highwayman 4.
Mini-Manitou.
Gladstone Hunter.
Bitterroot Caper
The Last two Club Knives as well.
We tested the steel it had almost the same edge retention of CPM 154.
It had the same toughness as CPM 154
It had even more Stain Resistance than CPM 154.
All of these were reground with our Convex Geometry.
All were reshaped them to a Bark River Shape
All were processed in our Shop by our Crew.
All of the handle materials were materials we currently use
All of them were etched just like all our models
All were inspected and boxed like all of our models.
By doing over 5 operations on each knife - they meet the criteria of Made in U.S.A.
Yes the steel was mis-marked.
Let me be clear that None of our Dealers knew about any of this and are 100% Blameless for this situation.
It is 100% my Fault.
Let me also clearly state that all other Bark River Knives have been made with the Steel that is marked on the blade - This use of import steel was only for a very short period of Time to keep our Employees working.
IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS.
Jim Stewart will be opening his own Knife Company
100% Independent of Bark River Knives.
Jim has agreed to take over all of the Warranties that would normally go to Bark River.
When he is ready I'm sure he will make the Official Announcement.
I will not have a hand in his new Company.
All I can do at this point is Offer a Very Sincere Apology and with much regret fade out of the knife industry that I have spent the last 50 years in.
I want to thank all of the Folks that have Reached out to me privately to offer their support. It has meant a lot to me.
I wanted to wait to post this until our Dealers had a chance to react and post their positions.
I also wanted to make sure that all of our Employees were paid for working last week. I did that this morning.
My recent Health Problems and Lesley's Health Problems did play a part in all of this but I am not using that as any kind of excuse".
