Who makes the knives you buy?

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

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.
