In an unrelated GD razor thread that got sidetracked, RobinK made a statement that many cheap Chinese badger knots were made in sweatshops - this concerns me because he also implied that one of our major retailers TGN is a guilty party - and I happen to own quite a few knots supplied by them.

Hopefully Robin will come along and explain what is behind the statement but in the meantime is anyone else aware that there is any truth behind the claim?
