It came with the buy in at a Duck's Unlimited dinner (I was too late for the 110's sadly!).

I swore I would never buy a chinese Buck and I haven't. However, since it was part of the package I took it.

Have to admit fit and finish is very good and I would proudly carry it but for the stamp. Not as sharp as it should be but the quality is pretty good. I simply can't carry it with anywhere near the same level of pride that I carry a US Buck so it will likely be pitched into a drawer to later be abused or forgotten.

Looking forward to the day that Buck makes a Toothpick in the states again! I'll take 3 at least.

Well, If its going to go to waste or get lost I guess I could give it a good home(kinda like adoption:)) I'd hate for you to have nightmares over it.:eek:

It's good that you took it out of circulation and kept some unsuspecting person from getting and enjoying it, never suspecting how awful they really are.:rolleyes:

Excellent point!

I carried it today and really like it. May look for an older US made version of the same knife for daily carry. I have another US Buck but it's a size up from the 375.
 
I like Buck knives and I am happy to buy Buck knives too support them. But I won't be buying any chinese knives. Whether they happen to say Buck on them or not.
 
Do like I did on the one(of only three) I rotate EDC, dremel grind off the China......300Bucks
