Point of clarification- S&W does NOT make knives, any more than Browning, Colt, Remington or Winchester does. They get a royalty from each one marked with their name, but they don't make them. And you usually find it slapped on United Cutlery or lower end from there. I had a folding kerambit-type knife that was $7 at a flea market, but with the S&W markings $20 plus shipping from Smokey Mountain. It was a good knife for what I needed it for, but when it eventually got too loose and had too much play, I retired it. But I don't think I'd ever willingly trust it with my life, that is why I carried a Vic in my pocket and my LM in my bag of tricks.

Harley Davidson doesn't make lighters, either, but Zippo sure does. Same thing, just better quality.
