I know people who have lost their jobs due to production leaving this country so that someone can make a few extra bucks. I know intellectual types who lost jobs due to NAFTA and the lower Canadian dollar. Like many others, I liked buying benchmades cause they were made in the USA. That was the target line in many knife sales pitches..."Benchmade, you know its made here, little more money than a CRKT, but better made and american made." "You can buy that Spyderco, but this here benchmade just as good if not better and made in america." Benchmade as a company went down in my opinion when they decided to lower themselves to compete with CRKT and Spyderco off-shore products.
By the way Brogan what's your problem with Delaware? Delaware is not Yankee at all, it's Middle Atlantic at best. The Mason Dixon line is at its lowest border. The state was a major stop on the Underground railroad and a stone's throw from that hot bed of abolition know as the City of Brotherly Love, but that doesn't make it Yankee. There's good fried chicken in the state, biscuits and gravy, but its too north for grits.
