Spyderco

What's your point? Spyderco still has their knives made in the States and Japan.

Has it ever occurred to you that there is actually market for what you call "cheap" knives? Not everyone who buys a knife is a knife enthusiast or collector, thus if they can save money by purchasing a $25 knife that will service them for a very long time, they'll buy even if it is made in China. And if you're one of those "I'll never buy a knife made in China" kind of guys, take a hard look at the other products you already own and use like your cell phone, computer, shoes, etc.. Chances are they're made in China too.

Certain things there really are no alternatives, i wish computer companies would make their batteries in america.
I dont mind quality knives made in foreign countries. Ill buy german, swedish, japanese, italian etc. I just dont like it when they go to other countries just to make cheap knives. Good stuff can be and is made in china, and so are knives that i would rather not trust my life to.
If your going to make knives in another country, do it because they are good at making knives!
