Good U.S.A made knives

[String Cutter]

Bought what I thought was a good U.S. made knife (trapper) from Frost Cutlery off of T.V... Only to find out it was made in China.... Wasn't really what I was wanting.
Where's a good place to buy a really good custom folding knife cheap??? really like horn or stag...

[Bob Walker]

Hey Tommy,
How's that little one doing?? Don't  know whether they make a folder or not but the best for the price that I've found is Marbles made in Gladstone, Michigan. May want to look on their site.
Take care and hope to be loosing arrows with you soon, LOL!

String Cutter,

Always liked a Case knife made in Pa.

Marbles is also a good knife but watch some are made in China.

A really good custom folder horn or stag cheap,
good luck.

Everything is made in china. All the old knife companies went over there. They have to if they want to be in business. You can find some good old knives on ****. I buy sell and trade what do you want? I probably have it. Good bone or stag handle american made knives are going to be high anyway you slice it. (No pun intended)Try moore maker knives out of texas. They make them the old way with high carbon steel that takes a ra zors edge. A small trapper will run you $100.00
Good luck HOEBOW

Hey all,


     I am not 100% positive but I think some of the Cold Steel models are made in the USA.  Even if they arent they are some sweet cutting blades.

Moore makers are great knives.  1095 steel.  The bone handled ones are made for them by Queen and the Delrin and Buffalo horn handled ones are made by Camillus.  

I also like Queens in D2 steel and Schatt and Morgan's in ATS 34.

Spyderco ParaMilitary is a great folding knife with S30V blade.

[John Scifres]

Spyderco are US Made.   While they only have a few true hunting knives, they are sharp and made in the USA.

The custom route might be more to your liking though.  But they aren't cheap.  Cheap knives are made in China.

Buck knives, all you need

[Jeremy]

You can still find some USA-made Buck knives.  Also some of the pre-sellout Old Timers and Schrades.  All the Marbles folders I've seen have been made in China, so I'm not sure if any of them are US-made.

I'm not sure about Case... someone told me they weren't making them in PA anymore...

If you're serious about going the custom route, check out a few of the knifemaking forums.  They generally have links to members websites.  You'll find a few folders that are in the 100-150 range.  As John said, they aren't cheap.

HUH?    :confused:  

I thought that Spyderco knives were....

Proudly Made in SEKI CITY JAPAN

Bark River Knife and Tool out of Michigan. All American made with A-2 Steel and convexed to a razor sharp edge.

If you can live without stag handles, you can buy a Buck 110 Folding Hunter at WalMart for $30.00 or so, made in the good ol' USA, and the original folding hunter. They can make one with stag panels, too, at the factory on special order.

Case makes a great knife here in the US, too.

I bought a folding pocket knife at Denton Hill from a dealer, what a great recommendation. It is a "Queen Cutlery Co. #2, made in Titusville, PA.

I have a 110 folder I bought 25 yr ago. I was thinking of replacing the scales. You could always do that..

[jacobsladder]

bark river knifes are outstanding...a little cheaper would be gerber...which i think is made in oregon.

[Plywood Bender-laptop]

Here's a picture of some knives I have.

 

The one at top left is made by Bowen and is a trapper with stag handle.  It is an anniversary addition for the LL Bean company. I'm not sure if Bowen is still in business.

The one next to it is an old Gerber made in Portland OR.

Yep...Case knives are still made in the US.  Buck knives are made offshore.  The California labor market essentially made them non competitive and while they made a decent knife, it couldn't touch Case in terms of quality.
