[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1744955, member: 229"] Good luck on your search for an EDC folder man. That's not a bad question at all. There are a few knife-models that you can't find made in the US, and as such - I buy those based on my needs, but if you want to buy mainly US-made knives that's perfectly acceptable to do. I too am a fan of the flipper-open knives. If you want an over-built high-quality US-made flipper, then I'd stick with Zero Tolerance (which is a part of KAI Limited which also owns Kershaw). If you don't need something that tough, then you've got plenty of options. Ken Onion and Kit Carson popularized the flipper in the modern-day "tactical" (I hate that word) folder. I think CRKT makes some of the M16 and M21 models in the US. Kershaw makes some good knives in the US as well (my personal favorite is the Galyean designed Kershaw Rake or the old original small Junkyard Dog). Buck makes their entire line of Vantage knives in the US I believe (all flipper models). The Vantage Pro is one of the best deals in knives. Spydercos have that big hole that makes opening easy - I'm a fan, I won't lie, but I also like variety too, so I've got some thumb-stud models and some flippers. [/QUOTE]
