The recent "Buy American" thread got me thinking about the amount of knife companies currently manufacturing solely within the USA. The large knifemaking corporations often claim that they have to outsource labor in order to remain competitive in the market. I don't entirely agree with that statement.
Please help me compile a list of current manufacturers and knifemakers that produce knives soley within the USA. American knife manufacturers who contract labor outside of the US are excluded from this list. This list serves as a reference for everyone interested in supporting these knifemakers, and to show that companies can remain domestic and still survive in a global economy. All BFC knifemakers who meet the above criteria please include yourselves as well.
I will try to research and update the list when I can. Please try to avoid derailing the thread with political discussion and keep the thread on track.
