Not bashing Leatherman, I own some, but do they put the American flag on packaging? I can't remember when I last bought a Leatherman if there was or not. SOG does for the S-62 and it definitely catches the buyer's eye - MADE IN USA. As Stretch implied, that makes a bold, gutsy statement in this day and age.

SOG does have knives made in Japan and Taiwan though, but that does not detract from their quality. Hey, after all, who makes the US Navy SEALs official knife? SOG.
