Many of the Army's new berets were also mad there!

Actually, 2 million were to be ordered from China, but the Army did an "about face"...
(probably found them in "close-out" at WalMart). Sorry, komrade...Must I stand in front of tank now?

That's what happens when you decide that $5 is sufficient for a knife.
It's not.

The Smith & Wesson brand name for knives is owned by Taylor Cutlery. Manufacture is farmed out to different sub-contractors. Quality can vary a lot between manufacturers.

I think I have the same knife bought at Tractor Supply. If you paid $5 for it where did you expect it was made. You can't buy anything for $5 made in the USA.

Ever since they started putting the "lawyer lock" on S&W revolvers, I've ignored anything with their name on it.

Always kind of funny when someone on a Porsche forum complains when something isn't made in the U.S.
 Although it is kind of lame that something with the S&W logo is being made in a different country it would probably cost them more than $5 to make that same knife here. |

You may want to peek at some of the labels on your clothing.

My father is buried in Calverton National.
The flag from his casket was given to us in a nice wood display case, Made In China.

Makes all the efforts that France does to keep jobs and products "in country" sound kind of brillant in retrospect now, doesn't it? All the supporters of pure capitalism can claim to "own" the current financial crises we have in America right now.
