What made-in-USA knife do you recommend for $20? | |||

I bought 2. For $20 you can use and abuse this thing without worrying too much about the damage your are doing. There is plenty of quality stuff that comes out of China. Is it just the fact that it is not made in the USA?

I think I figured it out (Bereli order problems). I forgot I put the Ublock Origin plugin on my Brave browser. I also got a marketing email from them. Not entirely unexpected. Got reminded of the Ublock plugin when I hit "unsubscribe". Lots of companies seem to think this kind of crap is ok. Ublock ain't comin' off my browser. FYI: I did get an email from them this morning confirming my order. | |||

I have the Kershaw XL Cryo II Pocket Knife, 3.25" I like it. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

While I wholeheartedly agree to buy American ~ Chicom products are not inherently junk. Many items manufactured there are quality, you just have to take it on a case by case basis. The country, polices and government are awful though and I buy USA whenever possible, but the reality is that we cannot be totally free of their manufacturing domination.  | |||

OK, but when it comes to buying a pocket knife or another nonessential iconic American product or brand, they can stick their Chinese junk squarely up their patooti. I will pay more for American made, that's my personal priority. | |||

For real? |
Mine has been showing label created since 10/18. Figured a $21 knife isn't bad for picking doors. If the tip breaks, the tip breaks. -- Sat 10/28 - mine is showing out for deliver today.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Chowser, Not minority enough! | |||

Mine came, pretty much what you'd expect from a $20 Chinese knife. Nice quality, the blade centers when folded, two options for flipping, a tad stiff. Nice looking Hinderer design. Unfamiliar with whatever steel is shown on the blade, not 440. Decent knife for the money. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

I had assumed they were American made when I bought them, and then read the comment that they were Chinese. What would be nice is, if American companies would control their insatiable appetite for scale and profit, and retain what made their brands great by retaining their manufacturing in the US. I have an old Kershaw. It is American made. I wanted another, I bought another. It is Chinese made. That's not on me. I shouldn't have to scour the website to figure out if they've pulled the rug out on me yet. By the way, it is by no means junk. It cuts open UPS and FedEx tape just fine. But to be clear, I wouldn't have bought one if I knew they were chi-com. I'm in stores with $20, even $10 chi-com cutty thingies all the time, and walk by them. Fool me once. Kershaw is off my list.  | |||

I can't believe there are people who don't bother to research everything they intend to buy prior to purchasing. It is so easy. | |||

Mine arrived yesterday. It will make a decent box opener for $20. While the knife is nothing special in any way it will serve it's purpose of a knife that I don't mind abusing. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Kershaw isn't all Chicom junk. Check the blade just forward of the liner lock in this picture.  Says China. Also,the price is a giveaway. This one, however, has an American flag logo on it. No cheap Chicom junk here.  Sorry for the image size, folks. I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst. The huffy ones are self-important, narcissistic authoritarians in love with the sound of their own booming disapproval, while the whiny, sparrowlike ones are so annoying and sickly and ill-equipped for life on Earth you just want to smack them round the head until they stop crying and grow up. - Charlie Brooker | |||

Kershaw is very open about country of origin as is CRKT and Cold Steel. _________________________ | |||

I can't believe you can't believe that someone wouldn't research a $20 box cutter made by a well known brand with which one has experience. Someone mentioned the sale, I know the brand. My first one is US made. What the fuck research is needed? $20 items don't drive me to "research" when I have experience with and trust the brand name. | |||
