It's gotten to where to buy American one has to mostly buy older stuff, with few exceptions. Not always a bad thing given the higher quality of older stuff in general, though eventually anything wears out, especially power tools...

I was given a new Buck 110 knife a while back. The knife was American made (and a nice knife at that). The sheath that came with it was made in Mexico. Better than China though, I guess.
