Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Often we spend our hard earned money on
Knives that are made in other country's
Even though these knives may equal the value you
Expect , what is the greater good it delivers?
I struggle with American vs china made all the time.
Many buyers want a china price , many buyers are
Happy to pay more for USA made. My uncle Richard
Died fighting for our country as did many others some your
Family or friends .
Many members here today defended our country
And I thank you for that!
I try to sell American made goods , it's hard to compete
With import prices.
Thank you American knife makers,
Just thoughts that are often on my mind

Terry,

We have bought knives made in other countries.  I have given RR as gifts and as prizes, I will continue this practice. Though with Buck and a few others getting into the lower dollar market, I am anxiously watching the reviews to see what they are offering quality wise.   The price vs the value of the knife is important to me when I am considering a give away knife.  I want to give knives that make for good users but dont break the bank.

A good 90 percent of our personal collections are USA made brands.  We buy these in much smaller numbers so for iKC and for the Carters throughout a year , it is probably around equal in dollars spent.
