Questions on S&W brand knives

[chief38]

I can't think of any gun company marked knife that is currently made in the USA. Originally they were all descent quality knives but have now and for quite some time fallen down the worm hole to be made in China. If you want a competent EDC, a high quality well made usable knife, get a Spyderco, Kershaw, Benchmade or Case (some are made in USA and some not - be careful) and I think you will be happy. At least they are still decently made and if and when they have an issue the company's who made them will stand behind them - at least that has been my personal experience. To the best of my knowledge, all my knives have been made in the USA with the exception of one SAK (Swiss made) and my 23 piece set of Wusthof (German made) kitchen knives. Oh - I do have a free-bee set of steak knives made in China. They are marked Capitol Grill and were given to some of their better customers at Christmas time. They are pretty much garbage and I will eventually remove the serrations and grind the into proper steak knives. That said, they will never be great knives - but they were "free" - lol!

Of the 5 knives I have purchased in the last couple years, the S&W SWA24S pocket knife was so bad the supplier would not even take it back, they refunded my money. Sadly the S&W name doesn't mean diddly.
