Spyderco - "We trademarked something that existed before the unverse even began".

Strider - "Ssh!!! Here he comes!"

Hinderer - "Love my new 0562cf!"

Cold steel - "Now if you stand just there, with your head held just like that, I bet I can remove it in one fell swoop. "

ZT - "Who slices these days anyway?".
 
GEC--"Our knives are so tight we sell a tool to open them."
Spyderco--"Who cares how it looks as long as it's sharp, has a hole and fits most people's hands."
CRK--"We're stored away in more cabinets and home safes and carried in fewer pockets than any other knife brand."
ZT--"We build great knives that are too heavy to carry."
Benchmade--"We build good knives at great prices. Great prices for us. Sorry about that"
Case--"We got CV and we got Surgical Stainless and we got history. What else could you want?"
Buck--"We got 420HC and we're American made since 1776."
Gerber--"We got the Bear and...well...oh, nuts! We got Jack Schnitt."
Queen--"We don't put an edge on our knives so you have freedom of choice."
Kershaw--"Can we offer some assistance?"
Swamp Rat--"When I get out of this damn swamp, I'm gonna be a Busse."

Schrade USA-The second saddest day in American knife history in 2004

Imperial Knives USA-The first saddest day in American knife history in 1986.Great budget knives out of Ireland though.

Spyderco-Hole opening and sharp but I'm just a half-span lockback

Leatherman-buy a Charge because a YouTube reviewer wants you to

Benchmade- I bet no one can make an omega spring design lock like us...$300 you'll get something great

EDI(Edge Design Inc.)-One hit wonder

REKAT-Seriously tough user knives

CRKT- Hard to dismiss the AutoLAWKS

United Cutlery-Mall Ninja and D&D Role Playing Knives

Hallmark Cutlery-for China made shockingly not bad...we buy trademarks(Kissing Crane and Pine Knot)

Kershaw-we used to make great hunting knives out of Japan

SOG-Buy a Flash I because a YouTube reviewer wants you to

Buck-we make great knives...we have 'quality levels' on American made now.No one can harden 420HC to 58rc and put a good edge on blades.Good heat treatments never existed before Paul Bos.

Gerber-made better stuff out of Taiwan

Case-the last survivor of high selling slipjoints of American made

M-Tech-flea market and gas station knives
