Knifes…favorites

[Terrierman]

A more extensive list of American knife makers from another website:

 thought I'd try to compile a list of every company making production traditional knives in the United States in 2022.

• Production - this doesn't include custom knifemakers
• Traditional - using the definitions for this forum
• Made in America - not just a US company, but the knife is made here

Please let me know any corrections, additions, deletions for this list. Thanks!

You forgot Spyderco on that list

They are a US company,  but they do make knives outside of the US line if knives,

Italy,  Japan,  Taiwan, and the Byrd line from China.

The Argali knives are made in the US. Boise, Id.  These things come shaving sharp.

My current favorite is a custom made for me by my neighbor across the street for taking him fishing.
