Kershaw, Gerber and Leatherman are all Oregon products (although some of their stuff is imported). CRKT is also an Oregon company, although many (if not all) of their products are made in Taiwan but are of good quality. CRKT makes the M16 series which are popular among our troops, according to a buddy just back from Iraq.
Some of the imported knives are now made of good grades of alloy steel. If these imports are made of good materials, to good engineering design, specs and QC then they will give good service.

All are still made in USA, I believe. So are the more expensive Kershaws---made right here in Oregon in fact, so I get a warm fuzzy feeling about buying them and supporting the local economy.
