For years I have carried a small pocket knife. I usually end up breaking a blade or loosing the thing somehow after a while. I lost one recently and after looking for a few days gave up and went to good 'ol Wally World to buy another. I have been buying Schrade knives for years; liked the way they felt and were made. The knives were in a locked display and a salesman had to come and open it so I could look a them. The guy took one out of it's box and before I even touched it I knew things were not right... Turns out the thing is made in..yup, China.. I didn't buy it. Looked up Schrade on the net and it seems they have gone under after a LONG time making knives in New York. Their good name has gone to the "dark side". Another company name that no longer means anything. I bought a Case knife instead. I recon a lot of other people think the same about the "new" Schrade as ebay is full of old USA made Schrades bringing premium prices. Someone should start a list of companies that exist only in name in China...I would try to avoid them all. Studebaker George
