Now that it's become more civil, I think this is an interesting thread. Oh, and if you believe Wikipedia..."Most of Canada's peanut butter is processed from Chinese peanuts. Imports of peanut butter from Argentina are in the form of a paste and must be further processed in the U.S. Other minor suppliers of peanut butter include Malawi, China, India, and Singapore." :D

Ahhh, silly me. I was thinking of kindergarten time-outs. :D
No contentioniousness implied, and I consider myself better informed - thank you. That makes sense. I bet it's true for a lot of US companies, too? (I.e., that they own plants in the PRC?)
And yes, the fact that the OP dropped out has calmed the waters quite a bit.
BTW, for those who are uninitiated, Nutella is the original nectar of the gods. But...
...it is imported - too bad!!!

Hey man, it's imported FROM GERMANY!!!!! :D (not too far away from my home...)
Actually, I'm surprised you guys even know NUTELLA. I was thinking that eventually SOMETHING good was kept exclusively to Germany or at least Europe... :mad:
Oh well, I'm happy you got to know the BEST "spread" in the world. All that PB may be OK, but THERES NOTHING LIKE NUTELLA!

Oh Nutella is one of the best things on earth. Nutella and banana, good. Nutella and a crepe, great. Nutella, Banana, and a Crepe, simply fantastic, then throw some whip cream, sliced almonds, and coco powder on top and it makes for one amazing dessert.

Sort of.
I, however have no experience with jelly or jam.
On a related note.
Will peanut butter stain uncoated M4? Someone needs to find this out.
...Dont get me started on Peanut butter! I've been addicted since I was four years old. I tried Jiff once (don't really get USA peanut butter's downunder) could not believe how sweet it was, talk about added sugar! I always chuckle a little at Jiff though as here Jif it's a very well known cleaning cleaning product.
P.s My knives often encounter the peanut butter jar... I havn't seen any staining from peanut butter with CPM M4, CPM D2 or CPM440V :D I do always wipe my blade down after use though.
Oh and if the OP wont buy a Taiwan made Bradley M4, he can always commission Gayle Bradley himself for custom... could cost a few bob more though. :)

I first ran into Nutella in a chocolate/Nutella/yogurt smoothie. Omigosh... :eek: :D
Seems like a well made hard work folder, the 'liner lock' looks actually more like an inside frame lock, its massive. I love the CF for handles, just dont like the handle design is missing any kind of 'guard'. I always look at a knife both ways, tool and potentiallly defensive 'tool'. I like the size, the steel, the CF on it, too bad the grip doesnt look 1st sight love to me, but I will maybe change my mind, if I get the chance to handle it.

btw is Nutella really that good? never tried it
Nutella is great, its a chocolate hazelnut spread. You should give it a try if you can find it at your local grocery store.

Given its primary designer, I would be certain that these considerations were thought of - it'd be interesting to know what Mr. Bradley's thoughts were (I'm not saying you're wrong, at least for yourself).

Nutella and the MArshmallow stuff is the bomb.
To stay on Target, I have to have one of the Bradely's. I will be purchasing one this week. I went to the local knife store and handled one. The pictures do not do it justice. You have to hold one to appreciate it. As soon as I get back in town, I will be buying it.
