Amazon has two left at $38, ships from the international store. Since Stanley is going out of business, I thought I'd go ahead and buy.

While I haven't used this particular knife, I use a couple Moraknivs with the same style of blade as my general purpose garage/home improvement knives. Great for utility cutting, rough chiseling, and prying.
The Moraknivs are just $17, but are a little smaller/shorter than the Stanley knife looks to be.

Come again?
First I've heard of this, and I can't find anything online. Just reports about them closing their lone remaining measuring tape factory in their Connecticut hometown and sending tape production overseas, where most of the rest of their tools are already made.
These Wrecking Knives, for example, are made in China.
