I've recently turned my attention from guns to knives and decided to buy a new skinning knife and a new everyday carry knife. I own a few knives but decided I wanted something better than the Winchester knives I have been using.
So I went looking with the one stipulation that the knives have to be Made in the USA. I used to make my living in manufacturing and now teach machining at the HS level.
I looked at a lot of knives and even in the same brand you have to be careful. Some Gerbers/Buck/Kershaw etc are made in the US, some are assembled in the US and some are made in China.
What I ended up with was a new Buck 490/590 skinning knife/guthook combo with nylon sheath and a Kershaw Leek for the everyday carry knife. Super happy with both of them. Both are Made in the USA but were on the shelf right next to other knives from the same companies that were made in China.
