"No US factory has those quality standards" As someone who's worked in quite a few US factories: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Bear & Son has a long history of making terrible quality knives. This is perfectly in line with what I'd expect from them. The real question; Why would you buy one? If you like that style, get a Case Shark Tooth.
Definitely not an 80 euro knife. They sell them in the US for $40, and even then what you have shown makes them worth less. Hopefully you just got a bad one, but knowing that company a "good" one might not be much better. I would stick to either Buck or Boker for those style of knives. I think the Gerber Gator is a decent knife as well. Something higher end like the Viper knives Turn might also be good.
I give a manufacturer one chance to make it right. And if they don't not only do I not purchase again, I campaign against them. Puma comes to mind, Gerber, Benchmade. Can't rely on product or service.
Only when the commies are Western managed and have a Deming QA System in place. Generally, the commies can't make baby food or pet food without poisoning their customers and are notorious knock-off frauds and slipshod manufacturers. Tofu quality. Not to say they are all not Quality, We, Artisan can be exceptional value et cetera still they do cost cutting measures that really make no sense skeletonized tangs, improper heat treatment and when they do, who ya gonna call, Ghostbusters? There is definitely some overpriced crap made USA and I have had bad experiences and don't recommend them. But ascending inclination to purchase CCP gets immediate scrutiny, and EU, USA, Japan, Taiwan, are my preference. Because whilst there are evil Pigs buying body parts in the West, the freakin CCP are selling those parts of their own people they deem surplus. Caveat emptor.

I am sorry that happened to you
Maybe it’s a knock off?
I am afraid it is not

That's the quality of "Made in the USA" for you right there😂
The Chinese make better knives these days.
pretty sad
