Not enough information for me to vote.

Right after the bold black print should be bold red print with country of origin!

Carry on!

The Civivi and Kizer are both Chinese. The Spyderco is Seki City, Japan.

You might look at the Spyderco Emphasis. It checks all your boxes and is probably the sharpest knife out of the box I've ever seen, including my Delica from Japan.

I've gotten to where I just about have to have an Emerson Wave featured knife. I usually carry a Kershaw that licensed it from Emerson. I have a Delica 4 but the Kershaw wave opens better. It's just so handy when you have something in one hand and have to open your knife one handed. And if you want defensive they are faster than autos.

So none of the above? Pretty much all companies' are having some of their knives made in China including Spyder co.
I am a buck knife fan but I also have a Civivi that is a solid knife.

Close! With a 3.72 inch handle, it's just a tad short. I gots some big ol' meathooks.

OK Find one of these. Mine has a 5" handle. They also make a smaller model but you'll love this one. It's also now in D2 steel. Buy it. You'll like it!

This is the Civivi I carry that is apparently discontinued. Love it.
