I was writing a check for some vittles yesterday after church. I asked the young clerk if it was 8/12... he agreed - then reassured me we were on Earth. I said 'Hey, I have a pocket knife made there!". He laughed... gave me that doubting glance - I handed him the Wally World $40 Spyderco C41PBK (S30V)... he saw the 'Golden CO USA EARTH' on the blade and said "Yeah, right. Like it might be from Mars or something.". I said "No, they use more Vanadium there..." - and left, with him still looking blank - as the customers lined up by his register.
Many of the Spydies are made here - like Buck. Oddly, they all seem to have a weird hole in the blade, however...
