I have a few Case folders and they are one of the last few "Made in USA" survivors now. They are very well made, affordable and purdie! They certainly have a plentiful selection to choose from

Since 2001 my EDC is a Marbles Gladstone Large Stockman Folder made in the now obsolete Marbles Custom Shop - Gladstone, Michigan USA. What Marbles sells now is Chinese repro's - not worth buying.

The two brands of old style folders I recommend now are Case and Queen.

BTW: the blades on my EDC are made of highly polished Carbon Steel - (not Stainless) so that is why if you zoom in you can see the freckling, While they don't stay perfectly "clean" like Stainless Steel, they are razor shaving sharp which is my preference. While I am pretty adept at sharpening Stainless, I can not get a SS knife to equal what I get the Carbon Blades to. YMMV
