Buck Knives–a company that wisely relocated from California to Post Falls, Idaho, several years ago–is continuing to prosper. They have released many new American-made products in 2013, most of which are made in the American Redoubt: The Clearwater Series Fillet Knives (named after the Clearwater River in north-central Idaho), the Micarta Harvest Series, the Survival/Tactical Knives Buck/Hood Thug (based on the designs of the late Ron Hood), the Reaper, the Intrepid L & XL, the Sentry, the Everyday SpitFire, and Camping/Hiking Stowaway Kit, and the Endeavor. I should mention that Buck is an example of a company that dabbled with offshoring, but decided to move the majority of their production back to the United States. That is commendable.
