I'm sure there are plenty more that I missed. These are all limited editions and will be pretty hard to track down. Good luck mate!

Yep... I've tracked a couple of "rarer" limited editions down

I'm new to collecting knives and decided to start with a niche I find fun and interesting... USA-made knifes with a patriotic theme (harder to come by and find than I would have imagined)

I'm trying to collect some of each type... Autos, OTF, AOs and flippers and fixed, etc.

Here's some of my modest collection. Having a ball and am also building a small display case for them to put up in my shop.

Hi Liberty keeper. Another option is having a maker put something together for you. I did a test knife a while back - January this year. It is not "USA made" because I am in Canada, but I support USA based business very heavily in the course of my work, as I purchase nearly all my supplies straight from the USA, and most of my heat treatment has been in the USA as well. These pics are from my first attempt at the type of knife you are talking about. It didn't come out perfect, but I thought it was a pretty good for a first attempt and proof of concept. To my surprise, few people were really interested, and I still have the knife to this day, and as a result have not made another one similar yet. And to my consternation, I have not found red and white G10 of identical appropriate thickness again, though I look for it once in a while.

I called it the "Universal Slicing Apparatus" because the initials are USA. 😊
 
David Mary-- that's a great looking take on the red while and blue! Well executed and unique.

While I appreciate the thought and idea of having you build a patriotic themed fixed blade for me... I do wish to stay true to my 'made-in-USA' choice... For the tIme being anyway!

I may change my mind because the fixed blade USA-made choices (usa patriotic themed) are few and far between!

Added three more recently

I love having the choices of which of all these to carry (I do carry most of these occasionally (but I haven't carried the Bowie knife yet!)

I found a US knife maker (and member here on BF) who has a agreed to make a patriotic-themed fixed blade for me! I'll post pictures when I receive later in November.

Thanks, all, for the suggestion!
