Brother, you are not alone.So often I see pictures of knife that looks like something I would want, but then do an internet search only to find out it is made in China. A deal killer for me,

<>Brother, you are not alone.
I like how some web sites make it near impossible to find country of manufacture. If they just won't say, must be Chyna!

It's not so much a quality issue to me as it is that I don't want to send dollars to those communist bastards.<>
OK by me.
I call them “disposables”.
One big problem with Chinese cutlery is that I couldn’t find any correlation b/t price and quality.
A G Russell has some pretty good bargains in Chinese fixed-blade hunting-style knives, sold under the AGR “brand”. I have bought a bunch of them for gifts.

I'm the same way when buying rifle scopes - just can't bring myself to spend that kind of money on something from China. I have scopes made in Japan, the Philippines, USA, Czech Republic...nothing from China, no matter how much someone else may rave about their clarity and value. Can't do it.It's not so much a quality issue to me as it is that I don't want to send dollars to those communist bastards.

I am not nearly as hard set against buying Japanese as I am Chinese. I don't think Japan has any plans against us.<>
ZEISS pretty much killed itself when they admitted that Japs with modern technology could build a scope to their ZEISS standards; then outsourced their “Conquest” entry line to Japan.
Our binocs are all ZEISS & Steiner, but scopes are Leupold.
Currently looking for a modern low mag optic for an AR15 at a reasonable (cheap) cost.

Probably not relevant to this thread, but In Slovnia, the translation of Mora is Nightmare.^^^
MORA knives out of Sweden are good knives.
My husband bought several MORA fixed blade knives from Bob Wards several years ago.
He bought some MORA knives from SW or Cabela's too.
We have 2 Mora CARBON STEEL blade knives with the non slip - plastic type handles - one still here is a Heavy Duty version and the second carbon steel blade knife is the regular version.
He gifted a MORA heavy duty - carbon steel knife to a man - employee at his gym/pool who needed a knife. My husband gave him his own Mora knife out of his truck and told the hard, good worker and NICE man that he could keep that MORA knife!
(Companion or some other name is the MORA model name? It is a CLASSIC Mora knife.)
He bought 2 other MORA knives with stainless steel blades. One is the same classic model - Companion (?) and the other one has a SHORT BLADE and short handle and it is small. It is meant to hang around your neck or kept in a small pocket or a purse or in camp/hike gear.
We do NOT hang the SMALL Mora knife around our necks but it is a very nice - small FIXED BLADE knife for concealed carry.
I just dug them out to look at them from my own drawer of knives.
My husband and I are having our morning coffee now and I asked him about the smaller MORA knife. The super small MORA knife was in my husband's locked tool chest and he told me that he had sharpened that specific knife recently.
All of the MORA knives came with sheaths.
I do LIKE the Mora knives with the wooden handles but I do NOT own a Mora knife with a wooden handle.
I do own ONE fishing knife from FINLAND with a wooden handle. But it is NOT the one from my late Mom's former bunch of knives from Finland, Sweden, Norway, NEW YORK STATE, and New England.
My late Mom, my late Dad and my entire family before and after I was born were INTO knives!
They USED them and were not just collectors!
They had knives from places listed above and from England, Germany, etc.
