I think you're right, but in this case there are some people who are fanatical about not having this made-in-America-esque legend on the knife.

I think "Idaho Made" in Morse code would be cool!

It's nice to see Companies take pride in what they do and were they are made and show it. :thumbup:
That's something that has been lost over the years and a lot of the reason why this country is in the shape it's in today and continues to down hill.

Not to sidetrack the discussion...but as I have been away for the better part of a year now (give or take infrequent visits), are knives without the MADE IN IDAHO stamp fetching higher prices/considered more valuable?
Just curious, because I have a small 21 that is well loved with quite a bit of wear. Have considered selling it as I don't use it any more, but now confused if it is a collectors item, or just a well loved Sebenza =)

The IM stamp does not make them any more valuable and there are too many of all the others to make a real difference in price. The only ones commanding a premium at the moment seem to be regular sebenzas and older models with BG42 blades.
It comes down to personal preference
As someone who has bought probably 15+ CRK knives, I haven't bought one since the stamp came out, so I'm definitely in the grouchy camp about it. If it was inside a liner and with a cool font, I'd be all about it. I think choosing a comic sans font about sums up my opinion of it. And to stay on topic, I think the non idaho stamp ones will command a premium as time goes on, since there's people like me who would pay a premium for one without it (if anyone as a non idaho stamp, small Isingo, hit me up).

I personally prefer no stamp, I like s30v steel better than s35v. I like the clean look of just have CR on the titanium. I am not saying the newer knives are not as good, I just saying I prefer not to have the stamp.
