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.


Yes you are right they don't actually make them. More reason not to buy one.
