Good company, but be careful of the budget knives from any company. These are made in Taiwan. They may be good knives, I just hate to see a company get a good reputation and then export the manufacturing for a budget line.

Buck has a good line of made in the USA budget knives. I've carried and used a Buck Bantam 285 for a year now. I stick to the USA made ones, it'll say so under "BUCK" on the blade.

I picked up a folder from this company at a gun show and it seems pretty good:

Of course, you could just go with Case. They're classic and the budget choices are infinite.

Awesome thanks for the info and I am all about the made in USA.

Gerber makes good knives and are made in the US.

I've abused a Buck Bantam 283 everyday for the last 7 or 8 years at the office. Just about the best $10 I've ever spent.

These go for $8-$12

I also have a BuckLite Max 482
These go for $16-$24

You do need to check the package for Made in USA, they make these same knives in China.
