What companies are still around?

[bigcozy]

Was thinking about this the other day. Here are the companies I am pretty sure are gone:


Paragon
Barrels
EDI
Camillus/Becker
TiKnives
Schrade



Companies with changed ownership:

Case - Zippo
Bear MGC - Victorinox
Somebody appears to have bought the Schrade name
MOD- Blackhawk


Companies I am not sure about:

Katz
White Wolf
Piranah
Dalton


Can anybody remember some of the other knives that have gone out recently? Seems like in the late 90's their were lots of companies that came and went.

I'm pretty sure it was Taylor Brands LLC that purchased the Schrade brand (along with Old Timer and Uncle Henry) and moved production to China.

White Wolf
Piranah
Dalton

Dalton and Piranha are still around. Not entirely sure about White Wolf, some limited edition Pocket Pros showed up a few years back.

Another one that comes to mind is DKW/James Brothers. Their machine shop is apparently still in business handling contracts, but it seems like the Aztec will never make it to production.

GT Knives dropped off the radar too... although i think i heard recently that they're still around.

IIRC, Rick Maxwell sold the Paragon brand name on.
