Very True, but according to reviews Ken Onion's I ordered is supposedly made in US. - I think It makes it one of cheapest Kershaw's made locally, cheaper than that are almost guaranteed to be China made, yet according to reviews they not that bad
I ordered Leek not for protection, but for occasional outdoor/camping/bbq use - I think I will do fine - according to some sources Ken Onion designs are what made Kershaw brand famous
