I haven't purchased a new knife in years, but I received a new fixed blade buck for Christmas. On the blade "CHINA". Are all Buck knives made in China now? Looks like a nice, functional knife, but it sure is depressing.

That is depressing... I'll be sure to look closely if I ever think about buying another Buck knife.

I always thought Buck knives were Made in USA. I remember this from an old thread and it certainly makes me want to support Buck Knives.
This was taken from the website and is a message from Chuck Buck:
Now that you are family, you might like to know a little more about our organization. The fantastic growth of Buck Knives was no accident. From the beginning, management determined to make God the Senior Partner. In a crisis, the problem was turned over to Him, and He hasn't failed to help us with the answer. Each product must reflect the integrity of management, including our Senior Partner. If sometimes we fail on our end, because we are human, we find it imperative to do our utmost to make it right. Of course, to us, besides being Senior Partner, He is our Heavenly Father also; and it's a great blessing to us to have this security in these troubled times. If any of you are troubled or perplexed and looking for answers, may we invite you to look to Him, for God loves you.

I believe that many of the lower priced Buck knives,such as you find in Walmart, are now made in Taiwan. I think it was the only way Buck could produce a knife at a price that could be sold in a Discount store.

Don't get me wrong, I like Buck knives. I own several, including my Dad's old buck knife. I just hope that all of their knives are not made overseas now. Buck has been an icon in the industry for a long time.

Bummer,
My last 2 bucks are definitely made in the USA and I even got Chuck Buck to sign one for me at BPS a few years back.

I bought a Buck made in the US at a flea market for $12.00. The man next to me bought three Schrade Old Timers made in the US for $45.00 for all three. These were all used knives.
I lot of what used to be better brand kitchen knives are now made in China. I've seen Japanese brands made in China with steel from Japan.
If you are going to buy one from China buy a Rough Rider. They are about the best Chinese made pocket knife.

Buck Knives, Case Knives
Hey guys I was just saying that it was a shock to see that Buck and Case were maid in China and other countries. This is the only one I bought that I knew that wasn't made here. When the ROMEOS meet this week someone else will own it, I hope.
ROMEOS, retired ole men eatin out. We have breakfast, thanks

Gone but not forgotten
Most of their line is made here in the U.S. They did have some promo knives made in China. I don't know if they still do.

I went to Academy Sports site to see if I could find one made in the U.S. They might have some but usually if it's made in the U.S. it will be displayed as such because that is a big selling point. I couldn't find much info on where they were made but searched for a few with the same part # on Ebay and they were made in China.
Some of the Buck Bantams on Ebay were made in the US. Most of the knives on Ebay made in the US will be listed as such.
I guess you just gotta look real close to make sure.

Ordered 2 knives from Buck a couple of months ago.....When I got them 1 said Made in USA and the other was stamped China, although it had a piece of paper in the box saying "Buck knives are made in the USA"... Called the company and was told only "some" of their knives are made in the USA....

Kershaw knives are the same. Some made in USA and some made in china. Not to far in our future everything will be made in china.

New Balance shoes does the same thing. They're homepage says "Made in the USA for over 75 years".
They neglect to tell you that there are only a handful of shoes made in the USA and those are their most expensive models.

Much...no, most of the "brand name" stuff we by nowadays is just "branded" stuff. That disgusts me. Think the Cub Cadets or Husqvarnas at the home centers are made by those companies? Nah. They are made by MTD, or whomever the lowest bidder is. Think there is a Sears or Craftsman factory anywhere in the world? Nah.
This stuff is made by someone else, to the parent company's specifications, with a pretty paint job and labels slapped on it. This stuff happens all the time. In essence, all of those companies are effectively lying to us consumers.
Kinda goes along with all of the "Japanese" vehicles that are made in America, and the "American" vehicles that are made in Mexico or Canada. We can all thank ol' Slick Willie for getting that ball rolling.

Don't get me started bout china-made junk 
I had a kershaw so-called lock blade malfunction and close up on my finger. On the way to the truck for first aid to stop the blood, I tried my best to throw that knife into orbit.
If its possible and/or known to me.........I leave cheaply made china products on the shelf.
