The ones made by Mundial and Tramontina,yes. Before they started getting them manufactured in PRC. However,no worries. I have a great collection of knives Made In Brasil. What the rusty Swiss knives (also manufactured in PRC) can not accomplish, my collection will exterminate our friend Ch.C ;D btw, dont be too hard on ch.c.. His biggest mistake was to get the kinves made in PRC and he is figuring out how to prevent the recall of these products in EU. I hope he does not take too much financial loss. If he cant cope up with this tiny problem, take him to Tinamon Square in Bejing and shoot him ;D - João da Silva Thu, 06 Sep 2007 01:43:35 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8621/54/#pc_11081 to Return might take a while... You can just throw it at him... :) Hey, I heard the Brazilian knife last forever...that's why there are so many!!! :) - Swiss pride Thu, 06 Sep 2007 01:22:01 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8621/54/#pc_11079 [quote]The new Swiss knife will have 41 appendages from scissors to screwdrivers, from toothpick to bottle opener and now an extended “scratcher” for those hard to reach areas on the bottom of the scrotum can be easily accessed.

[/quote] Good Lord, Swiss Pride,you fell for this government propaganda? The last time I bought a Swiss knife was in S.Africa ( I have bought them in various countries,but lasted for a year or two).But the one I bought in Africa lasted for about 3 months.Got rusty,discolored,blunt,etc; I think that Ch.c is in charge of the Marketing of these knives for the govt of Switzerland and he is getting them manufactured in Shanghai. Do you think that I should return all the rusty Swiss knives to Ch.C? - João da Silva Thu, 06 Sep 2007 00:44:34 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8621/54/#pc_11078 Government announced today a breakthrough in Swiss knife technology. A government spokesman euphorically said, this might be the only single item we export and are well known for, but the new Swiss Knife using super light metal technology developed elsewhere will revolutionize the world. The new Swiss knife will have 41 appendages from scissors to screwdrivers, from toothpick to bottle opener and now an extended “scratcher” for those hard to reach areas on the bottom of the scrotum can be easily accessed. A consortium of highly trained Swiss machinists and foreign engineers are currently developing the project. The American chain McDonalds has also expressed interest in providing our pride technological wonder Pocket knife, free of charge, with a purchase of any “Happy Meal”. The pocketknives will sell for $ 350 Euros (7.9 billion Swiss Franks) for our Swiss citizens or $ 1.75 for all other E.U. countries. - Swiss pride Thu, 06 Sep 2007 00:16:43 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8621/54/#pc_11074 English....sheep !!!! - ch.c.

Otherwise you have ONE OF THE WORLD HIGHEST IMPORT TAXES. the most funniest thing is that then you expect OTHERS....to reduce THEIR IMPORT TAXES.....BUT NOT YOURS !!!!! Such at the WTO. You expect developed nations to reduce their agricultural subsidizes......but Brazil is not willing to reduce their import taxes on Industrial goods and financial services. As a simple example, do you know where the Apple Ipod is the most expensive in the world ? IN BRAZIL ! fOLLOWED BY INDIA ! Survey done by an Australian bank... earlier this year ! But Brazil is sooooooo wealthy they can afford just about everything, except education, infrastructures, healthcare.....where they expect others countries or International agencies...to lend money to Brazil ! Ohhhhhh did you know that even for your "free condoms" offered by your government, it came from a World Bank Loan....despite your country has so much....in foreign currency reserves ! I am therefore not that wrong when I write : Brazil loves to cheat, lie and hide ! - ch.c. Wed, 05 Sep 2007 19:42:38 +0100
