The OP here lamented the loss of the original series of SharpFinger knives, and most of us agree. But the entire customer base is not going to give up on the knife itself just because the new ones are Chinese.
Sorry I for one will never own a Taylor Chinese Schrade, never ever. Don't care if it is free,I won't own one.
Only one knife I own is not made in the USA. It is a Taiwan Gerber. I am not going to get into the politics,and yes I own many things made in China.
I happen to be able to choose where my knives are made, something not usually possible with our everyday products. So I choose USA made knives.
Oh and my '86 Dodge Ram 150 was made here too. (177,342 miles on a original 318cu,never been rebuilt )
