Funny you mention that. A guy on YouTube put that to the test. He bought the American version of the Buck 301 and the Chinese made version, the Buck 371. He examined both and wondered what the quality was like. The finish on the shield, scales, snap and lack of wobble was incredibly well done on the Chinese version. The American version had very good finished and sharp blades, but glue leaked around the shield and the blades wobbled and didn't really snap tightly.
The chinese stuff is getting better all the time. And while I hate to say it, much of the world doesn't see 'made in USA' as a mark of particular quality
It Is VERY Very hit and miss in my opinion when it comes to purchasing products in the first place. Adding the idea that where its made will change that just makes things complicated in a Unneeded way.
As the running joke goes look at everything you own and most of it will have a stamp clearly stating its not made in USA.
Also as a Side note Does that idea scare anyone else? At one Point It was the joke made in china was junk...Now Made in china will be gold and made in USA will be mud.....How is that gonna effect things?
