(snippage)

small manufacturing plants (Buck knives for one) are leaving California
and heading for Nevada, Utah, Idaho, to set up shop in a more business
friendly state.

(snippage)

Is Buck still making knives anywhere in the US? I was looking at a new
folding model 301 the other day and it was made in China. I will not own
a
Chinese pocket knife. You've got to draw the line somewhere. So maybe
I'll
be knifeless in the future when the present one is lost or finally wears
out.

Thanks. According to Buck's website, they still have a factory in the US.
The new model 301 I saw was definitely stamped "China" at the blade hinge
end. I do make an effort to avoid Chinese merchandise whenever possible. I
hope I'm not going to get another lecture from an eight ball from the
survivalist newsgroup over this.
