Lot of great US made knives for the $$, but for $27 I think a Buck 110 is hard to beat for what you get.

https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/bladeforums-2024-traditional-knife.2003187/
Price is $300 $250 ea (shipped within CONUS). If you live outside the US, I will contact you after your order for extra shipping charges.
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
My experience with US made Buck is off-center blades rubbing on the liner (Vantage Avid), stiff action when centering the blades (both), and play in the lock up (Spitfire). Equally or lower priced Chinese knives from Kershaw and Real Steel have been better quality construction IME.
I've ordered two Kershaw US made knives new (Skyline and Blur) and both had perfectly centered blades and solid lock up strait out of the box. So I would put Kershaw's US made knives at a level higher than Buck's
YMMV
Might want to look into Great Eastern Knives if you like traditional patterns. They are fantastic.
Threads 4 years old lol, think OP found a knife yet?
This guy is amazing. Lol. Nobody beats a dead horse quite like him. The Buck knives you are referring to are not high level bucks. Both are mid 20 dollar knives. Yes the Vantage has spotty action but most are solid. The spit fire doesn't have too many complaints that I have seen. Try a 110 for 27 bucks. There are lots of solid knives under 50 dollars.
Send me your vantage and I will send you a 110 straight across.[/URL][/IMG]![]()
Love this knife. G10 and S30V
