The ultimate hunter is a great knife. In that particular model CS runs the hardness of that steel higher than any other production company out there which I know of. Therefore there'll be most likely no American made knife with comparable properties.
Anyways, just like with the I-
Phone, salaries go to the American designers and most of the profit goes to the American company. They probably reinvest a good chunk and most of what's left over gets probably spent in America supporting American construction workers, American car manufacturers, American waste management, American Janitors smd so on who themselves spend their money again on American soil.
Only a fraction of the products final price would end up in China to pay for their factory time, raw materials and cheaper labor.
One could even see scenarios where producing in China allows CS, Apple and others to make more profit which can be spent in America than if they would produce here. However even in that case one might prefer them to make less money and to spend it on domestic knife manufacturing. But this then isn't really maximizing the overall profit for America anymore and kind of substituting a less profitable kind of work. Some might even call it socialistic in a way.
Again not saying that's the case here but shows that not everything is black and white and without the real numbers it's hard to make the right patriotic choice at times. And just to be sure buying Chinese made knives from a Chinese company is most likely not benefitting the USA if you don't count the profit the American salesman is doing and even that falls flat if one buys knives from Chinese homepages directly. Kind of the worst thing one could do.
