I carry a big old Schrade 3 bladed stockman most days. Wonderfully patinaed blades. We were in Tractor Supply when my son said "hey look, Schrade knives". I pulled mine out of my pocket and had him compare it to a new stockman. Even through the blister pack you could see the fit and finish on the new one didn't compare. Pins sticking out instead of polished flush with the handle, big gaps where the Delrin meets metal, etc. Very sad.
