Norma selling knives.

Anyone know who's making knives for them? Saw one of the folders with a D2 blade, reminded me of a RAT knife.

Norma being Sweden based, although now owned by Beretta, perhaps Mora is involved?

Beretta has it's own line of knives, being multinational, it could come from anywhere.

Some Beretta knives come from China, some from Italy.

I looked at the knives on the site and you can believe at $45 they are generic Chinese D2 knives with some Norma laser engraving. Dosen't mean that it's a bad knife but it's not a hand crafted top quality piece.

Norma is now a small part of a huge multinational Corporation and these are just high profit margin knick knacks that have the side benefits of offering advertising.

That's what I think most people would like to know. I know that when I buy a knife, I want to know where it's made. That and who's making it and parent company.

I have plenty of knives made in other countries, I buy depending on who the parent company is. The better the company, usually the better the QC is.

look, a link https://normashooting.com/product-category/accessories/knives-tools/



and I agree with rkless driver. guaranteed china g10/ball bearing flipper. not a bad recipe, but kind of expensive for the materials and origin. Unless you like the design or norma branding, you can get a ganzo or kuby for half that.

A little closer scrutiny of the "utility" boot knife discloses ABKT, which I believe stands for American Buffalo Knife & Tool, which is about as American as Kowloon. I will never understand putting a name with a good reputation on a mediocre tool.

I think it was HSO that said in another thread, companies let others use their name for a fee.

A lot of big companies do it BUT they don't honor any warranties of products from them.

Anything for a couple of dollars.
