It's just that "Assembled in the USA" covers a lot of ground and means different things. It's mostly unassuming, benign, and pretty hard to prove wrong.
"In the USA, we assemble(or install) foreign manufactured(or assembled) parts into(or onto) other foreign manufactured(or assembled) parts."
=
"Assembled in the USA."

I could see whoever wrote the card that accompanies the knife equating "Proudly Built in Detroit with Swiss Tritium" with "Assembled in the USA." I'm not sure if they're the same thing from the FTC's standpoint. "Proudly Built in Detroit" sounds closer to "Made in the USA," so it probably makes better ad copy.
They also call out the COO for the tritium, but not the rest of the knife. I suspect the actual card text should read "Proudly Built in Detroit with Chinese Parts and Swiss Tritium."
