EWC88 24 Posted December 7, 2013 Getting into blades, and looking for a good EDC. I will end up building a collection which I have no problem with either. When looking at knives I would honestly like American made blades. When I saw some kershaw at Walmart the other day (never shop there, got oil and knives happened to be all around) I seen on the boxes it said made in China. I thought kershaw was American?

Bully 749 Posted December 7, 2013 Some are made here. Others overseas. I have a U.S. made Blur. I carry it all the time. It fits my needs perfectly. Sharp, flat, fast. I like it a bunch. For an EDC, I would recommend it all day. C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norseman 2 Posted December 7, 2013 I have a little a Kershaw that says Made in USA right on it so that's why I just assumed they all were. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malice4you 627 Posted December 7, 2013 Most major manufacturers these days have to compete on price for some of their models, so there will be some made in China. While I'm sad to see it, I guess it is better that some people at least can afford to carry a knife that might otherwise not... I've owned a few of the Chinese knives (by Spyderco and others) and they are OK, but the US/Japanese/Italian knives I have are obviously far superior. My Kershaw 1595ALBLK (I believe it's a Speed Bump) and 1820BRN (Needs Work) are both US made. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawnmoore81 623 Posted December 7, 2013 I keep a couple kershaw a in stock and I haven't seen a bad one yet. The dwo is a great little knife and the 3/4 ton knife is good if u want something more beefy. Other companies in can vouch for are kabar, sog, buck and boker Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shocker 150 Posted December 9, 2013 I have a US made Knockout and Chinese made Cryo. The steel on the Knockout is appreciably better. I think the sister company Zero Tolerance is all US made and they can be had for reasonable coin used or refurbished. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
302w 83 Posted December 9, 2013 The cheapy Kershaws are Commie. If it has a $30ish MSRP or more, it is probably made here. Leeks are cheap, excellent and made here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dslar 0 Posted December 31, 2013 I have the kershaw leek USA, Scallion USA, and Cryo china. All have been good knives. Also picked up CRKT shenanigan which is a Ken Onion design. He designed the Scallions for Kershaw and others. Also a decent knife but not USA made. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
