My son went all nutz over a Bear Grylls knife today at Academy. It's the fixed-blade that comes with the sharpener and fire starter. He's 12 and had some birthday money so I told him I'd check prices at Amazon and go that route. I just get so disappointed when I turn over the package and it has MADE IN CHINA glaring back at me.
So anyway, I was checking Amazon this evening and (I'm not a big knife guy or anything) but I saw where the Gerber LMF-II was made in the USA. I asked by son if he'd rather have that one but he wanted the Grylls. I didn't have any fixed-blades of my own so I ordered the LMF-II for myself, figuring I could always use another quality, American made tool.
