With all the other cheap ass Chinaland crap that's force fed to us these days it boggles me that anyone would buy a Chinaland knife when American knife makers are one of the last bastions of quality and service at a fair price between our shores.
EXACTLY. I think it boils down to what's hanging in the bubble packs at the big box stores. The hardware stores, independent lumber yards, and especially mens work clothes stores with their traditional (and enticing) knife displays are becoming more and more a thing of our past............a past I miss more each day.
