Check out this web site http://www.zappos.com/?gclid=CPySiYCPorsCFRBnOgod0isAWQ . There are thousands of shoes.boots,etc to chose from and there are plenty of reviews to help you decide. You can sort by type, style, size, price, etc. I always buy my boots/shoes from Zappos.

I will, thanks.

Seems like everything is being outsourced to China,India, etc. Cheaper labor, no healthcare benefits for companies to pay. Its a no brainier for US companies to outsource. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Currently, most are produced in USA manufacturing facilities which are located in Tualatin, Oregon with some goods coming from their Japanese and Chinese factories.

The steel on it is M390, supposed to hold it's sharpness for quite some time. Google translate came up with this: Steel M390PM is stainless steel produced by powder metallurgy. Steel in the calcined state of well-machining, after heat treatment has excellent resistance to wear, easily polished. Steel is a highly homogeneous structure with very fine carbides, after proper heat treatment has excellent resistance to wear and tear - durability of the blade (greater than 19 573 / D2). Steel has high toughness (resistance to breakage). Composition: 1.90% C, 0.70% Si, 0.30% Mn, 20.0% Cr, 1.0% Mo, 4.0% V 0.6% V Heat treatment: austenitizace in a protective atmosphere from 1070 to 1150 ° C in a vacuum from 1120 to 1200 ° C. Hardness in turbidity after 60 -62 HRC during cooling in air. After hardening is recommended deep freeze Tempering: 150 to 400 ° C, the resulting hardness of 56-58 HRC Maximum wear resistance achieved after quenching from 1150 ° C and 2 + podmražení tempering cycles at 540 ° C, 58-62 HRC (Attention, slightly reducing the corrosion resistance).

This is my first Benchmade, I looked at ZT and Spyderco both which are good knives also but went with the Benchmade as it is made in USA. Benchmade offers to sharpen your knife for $5.00 and inspect and make any adjustments as needed. Pretty nice of a company to do so. Some of the Spyderco are made in Korea. I just got this thing that if I'm going to spend a couple hundred on a knife I'd like it to be made in USA. Although the Japanese put out some great knives.

Thanks

Yes, it seems it will. Very good craftsmanship from a production knife. Very solid, no blade play, and fits great in the hand.

Just got my Benchmade 581 Osborne this morning. First impressions its a fantastic knife, has the open assist feature and opens lightning fast. Sharp as as a razor out the box.

My condolences, while no other dog can replace a departed loved pet, it does help ease the pain. Another Corso I'm sure would make a great addition to the family. Good luck Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
