Won't do you any good now, but I used to have several that I bought at a gun show. I don't know why I bought them, but I wish I still had them.....for what reason I don't know.

Dumb question... Anyone out there have a couple rabbit pelts (properly cleaned and tanned, ready to use) that they'd like to part with for a cheap price?

Ken,

Your are so right about the economic man in your head

If anyone has never tried Swiss Army Victorinox  it is an source of amusement to just how something can be close to perfect.  Most of us can get a Rolls or even a Rolex, but you can enjoy  one of the fine things.

  I studied quite a bit of economics and where ever something is made, the economic man in his head owes it to himself the best value for the dollar. Foreign trade is  a source of wealth and it is  a strange patriot who wants me to spend this Veteran's dollar on a shoddy or over priced product  who claims I owe to him out of allegiance .

I try to buy US made, but the thing is, Victorinox doesn't have a US factory, and quite frankly, the quality of their knives and the quality control measures they take make them probably the best bang for anyone's buck.   I'm utterly amazed that when it comes to Swiss Army Knives, the blades close so close together that you can't fit a sheet of paper between them and there is absolutely no blade rub.  Blades remain absolutely tight with no wobble for years on end.  Yet, if you buy a Case Stockman, or Canoe, you're told blade rub is accepted as just part of the pattern. 

I feel sorry for American Cutlery companies if Victorinox ever starts using clip blades as a primary blade on some of their knives.

I have always stuck by...buy what you like and you will be happy with your collection.  We have knives made all over the world.  I agree that we do try to buy more US made, simply because we want the manufactures to stay in business and employ folks here in the US.  But even a US made, if I dont like the knife (fixed or folder) I am just not interested in spending my $ on it

Good for you, Craig.

That's why I'm very happy with my buying lately. I'm less concerned with how MANY knives I can get for my buck.

Tobias, that's what we all should want in our collection, "quality". I am sure you and alot of other collectors have found that quality can be all over the place and buying from one place, one brand or one country does not guarantee quality. When I find quality knives, I am likely to buy more from that source. Please, don't take my advise as the right way to buy, but just the advise of an old Cajun knife collector...LOL

I try to buy USA knives because I want to keep jobs here. I do own a few global knives. All in all quality is real important no matter where they are made. Wish my redneck farm tool would get here.
