How about good SS and a good heat treat and a fair price?

It would be surprising if they brought production back to these shores. Case seems to do okay selling decent-quality US-made knives at $30-60, but they are looking over their shoulder at China-made brands like Rough Rider that offer quality on a par with Case at $10-12.
Taylor/Schrade would do well to bring their quality up to that level. I wouldn't mind seeing them go back to 1095 on the OTs.
