The Knives made outside of the US are not for the Custom Buck crowd of which I am one.Buck did not create the market forces that make having a line of cheap merchandise necessary,Politicians did when they sold us out to Asian countries.
most of mine are more than 50 years old , carry my dads when i go hunting ,
Is Buck offering factory tours in China, where they now have capitulated to allow their product to be “second-guessed” by importing blades for a variety of Buck knives?? This didn’t work out well for Craftsman tools after they allowed the Craftsman name to remain on second-rate tools from China.
any company that values will not even buy screws from china, have a knife made in Thailand, blade is imported from Switzerland, so even they know china stuff is crap
