I don't know when Buck started to have knives produced off shore. If you go the buck site you will see knives marked imported with the forever warranty. This is an example of the one I got BUCK . If you read the warranty BUCK there are exclusions for abuse and so on.

Okay, thanks, Bob. So basically, if the steel is not just absolute crap, and if you like the way it looks and feels, it's a good razor, and no brand has a particular monopoly on quality? That actually makes sense to me.

In a way, differing opinions and factoids can be confusing but I wouldn't have it any other way. I would rather see differing views and pick my own way with actual experiences and case histories and simple logic. Seeing rational debate between different viewpoints is good, too. If I take one side or another out of beginner's ignorance, that doesn't mean I won't change my mind in the face of a good logical argument to the contrary.
