I haven't heard it... perhaps for their smaller pocket knives maybe, but I think they'll continue to make their larger knives in the US.

My favorite knife of all time (next to a Buck 119... another good utilitarian knife)

The standard Kabar Marine Corps utility knife served me well back in the day.

I've owned one of these for about 10 years:

Carried it to work every day for several years. You just never know when you'll need a steak knife at a barge BBQ.

Now thats a knife!!! I want this KaBar

Their cheaper folding knives are already made in China/Korea. I have a cheapo $10 "Warthog Folder" knife thats made by them and its actually decent for the money, but its made in China

Do they fold easy? What is the plastic like, stiff or pliable or some strange fiber style like the fiber construction of paper bills?

why get a second knife when the first looks unused?

That said...9 times out of 10 a knife is going to be a much better weapon than a gun in a close fight.

I have the urge to collect knives.... cant collect guns, so the next best thing. The folder lives in my car, and the fixed blade shall be used when i go bush.

Lots of countries use plastic money now. I remember switching to plastic over here, the bills are much nicer to handle than the old paper ones, and very durable.

I think you will find that professional soldiers and swat etc. Always bring a knife to a gun fight. What do you do when shit goes hand to hand? (unless you have a bayonet on your rifle)

Indeed. If you're good, you will be the only one who walks away.

I never thought of knives or guns as collectibles even though I may refer to them as a collection.

I have a daily carry knife that is about 2/3 it's original size. Never stuck a person yet, but I use it almost daily.

Apparently everyone on ATOT has guns, so nobody is impressed.

You might be able to cut a pizza for all of us gun owners though.
