There's a lot of imported junk in the marketplace.

Fortunately, there are still good American pocket knife makers at work, some of them very good indeed.

I prefer an overall length of about 3 1/4" in a 2 blade knife, the typical clip and pen blades.

Case knives of this general pattern were my favorites, as was a green scale Remington for many years.

Then I discovered Queen and Great Eastern Cutlery. End result is a drawer full of nice American made knives to choose from daily.

My favorite is a GEC 'White Owl' with American Elk scales and 2 blades of 440C. It's a little jewel.

I'm betting once you discover the online vendors like 'Knives Ship Free' your collection will grow.
