      Yesterday, I visited “Dick’s Sporting Goods” (A real store, no s***) near Hagerstown, MD. Just browsing. In the knife area, were some GERBER, Buck, Victorinox SAK, Leatherman and Smith & Wesson knives in their sealed in plastic packages. (There is a name for this packaging but I can not remember it, so “SIPP” will do.) These “SIPPS” on theft protection hangers ran the gamut from slipjoints (Buck, Victorinox) to machetes and fixed blades (GERBER) to folders (S&W) and multi-tools (Leatherman).

      It was the “Buck” EDC stuff that caught my eye. The package back read, “Designed and Engineered in USA. Made in China”.

      In the above “EDC Folders”, the steel is “7CR” and Buck includes: “Imported $30-$54 MSRP. So, “Dick’s” has a single blade Chinese slipjoint for $19.99 + tax. The other “Chinese Bucks” are a bit more in price.

      All the “S&W” knifes are foreign made.

      Victorinox is Swiss, duh. The GERBER ‘Strongarm’ in 420HC is “MADE IN THE USA”!! (. . NOT the machetes, but they are not made in Red China) and Leatherman is TOTALLY AMERICAN!!
