Who makes the Schrade automatics? Don't these have to be made in the US?
Taylor owns several old American cutlery brands that are made in China now. I bought a few Hammer Brand traditional folders at a local store. I knew they were made offshore, but not that they were from Taylor Brands. They all ended up being fairly decent knives with blades that took a razor edge, but did require frequent sharpening after frequent use.
They are china made button locks converted to autos on US soil, like Boker's autos.
GEC, Great Eastern Cutlery out of Pa, has made some autos under the Schrade name. These are quality knives on GEC's #73 frame (3 3/4" closed, ~3" 440C blade). Don't confuse these with ones made overseas now.
