  • Ellenville Knife Factory Cuts 75 Jobs
    April 06, 2002 Ellenville knife factory cuts 75 jobs By Paul Brooks Times Herald-Record [email protected] Ellenville – Fallout from Sept. 11 has forced knife manufacturer Imperial Schrade to lay off 75 workers here, but the company itself is in no jeopardy, an executive said yesterday. "People giving gifts no longer use knives," James Economos, executive vice president of the privately owned company, said yesterday. For example, companies would give employees the knives as a gift in a sales-incentive program. That type of business was a significant part of Schrade's market prior to the terrorist attacks, amounting to a few million dollars annually, he said. "After Sept. 11, that has just evaporated." The layoffs will bring the company in line with the size of the market today, Economos said, noting that the overall retail market is weak. Imperial Schrade will still employ just over 500 people in Ellenville, he said. The company also laid off 10-20 employees at its factory in Ireland. Despite rumors, the layoffs have no connection to the company's relationship with retail giant Wal-Mart. Schrade is the strongest manufacturer in its category for Wal-mart, Economos said. In Ellenville, the job cuts began this week and will continue through the early part of next week. They include some voluntary layoffs and retirements and are across the board, including management. Economos would not say whether those laid off were given severance packages or the like. "We do this with a heavy heart," Economos said. "It has been a decade since we had to do something like this." Brian McIntosh sat in the 209 Diner in Ellenville yesterday contemplating what his source of income would be after next Friday, when he receives his last paycheck from Schrade.

Het decembernummer van Messenmarkt heeft altijd een uitgebreid verslag van de jaarlijkse Messenmakerijdagen in Gembloux, georganiseerd door de Belgian Knife Society. Het is de grootste en belangrijkste beurs van de Lage Landen en hij wordt dan ook druk bezocht, zowel door standhou- ders als bezoekers. Messenmarkt kan helaas maar een deel van het vaak schitterende aanbod tonen.

By: This article is available online at: http://bit.ly/knifeguide I. Introduction California has a variety of criminal laws designed to restrict the possession of knives.
