HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?

I do not buy gear (knowingly) that is made in china.

I have no issue buying a Chinese product but country of origin should not be a shell game. Any company that causes one to question where the product is made is being deceptive. And it's also apparent that a product saying "NORWAY" is trying to create artificial value by reason of it being presumptively made in Norway, and not somewhere else, whether it be China, etc. 

another problem I have to is I remember a magazine review where it talked about how they were able to keep costs down because of simple casework rather than their chinese origins.

I never thought I would read a thread on the gon that turned into a sociological discussion quoting Emile Durkheim.  Lol

I believe this thread to be about business ethics. It's just some Hegel owners couldn't accept the fact they got duped. Instead of seeing this as a logical conversation, some view it as a personal attack on their system which isn't.
