I have acquired these recently and am surprised at the quality you get for the money.
Buck makes some great knives.You can't trust them to use the materials they claim. You can't trust them not to use lead paint. You can't trust them period.
I have some Chinese knives, but not many. I'm not buying anymore. Quality American made Buck knives are still very affordable.
THIS^^^^Nice enough maybe, but,,,,,,,,,
I buy Chinese when I have no other options.
With knives, I have other options.

Benchmade makes fine knives.Nice collection of Buck knives in an earlier post. I was gifted a Buck 110 from an ex-gf who had lost her hubby and since the knife was just sitting in a nightstand drawer, I took it out and cleaned it up, so she said I could have it rather than it just "rust out". I found those Buck black leather sheaths with the logo imprinted on them and got one for my knife. However, my two best knives are both Benchmade. My EDC is a serrated Tanto Barrage. I use this one the most. The other is one to carry on my hip. I bought a special sheath for it. It is a tie-down and comes with a fire-starter. It is the Nimravus. Having probs with my putor and pics disappeared, but the Nimravus is also a serrated Tanto. Similar to pic below.
The Barrage is my EDC also. I found some micarta scales for it on Etsy and I like them so much better than the plastic my feeling ones that come with it.Nice collection of Buck knives in an earlier post.
