You bring up a great point. Companies that are producing knives are really stuck, criticized for outsourcing low end production to remain competitive but still trying to appeal to customers. Not a great spot to be in...

Puma now has a line that I think they are calling SSB line.

Soligen Steel Blades but are assembled in china so they can sell at

competitive prices. 

Just the other day I was in the sporting goods store when a gentleman about

70yrs old or so came in asking about pocket knives.  That store sold both Case

and Buck and when the sales person showed him the stockman knives he proclaimed

" I have never paid that much for a knife and I am not starting now". He then asked

if they had anything in the $30 range and the salesman pointed out the Chinese made Bucks

that were in the next counter.  He purchased one of those, he said he wanted a working knife not

a  saving knife.

So that is what the knife companies are up against.
