US production start ?

Jeff, you would have to contact Ka-Bar for a production date on this knife. We are an authorized dealer and received these directly from Ka-Bar last year.

There's a JPG product brochure if you dig for a bit @ Aircat's website that refers to it as "assembled in USA". That probably means there's at least some offshore parts in it. OTOH, I would guess that a US assembly line would be a lot more likely to have tight specs, real QC inspection,and and be far quicker to reject out-of-spec parts. To get a fully US made tool these days, you'd likely have to go to Snap-On or similar. I've been very happy with mine for the occasional DIY wrenching I do. BIG torque, low noise, nice trigger. Hope this helps.

Sadly no:( Almost nothing is made in the USA anymore, which is a major shame and part of the reason cities like Detroit are crumbling. Profit over people unfortunately. I check the labels on everything and try to buy from here or our friends ( U.K., Canada, Germany, etc) All the best.

I called 3m about a week ago. They told me they would start shipping them sometime in LATE Feb. I guess they have to get enough venture capital before they can start actually producing them..........

Start it, back it off the pallet. it would have to be in the float position also.

This is a US-born, but maybe China-built product. There is nothing purely US anymore. Well give or take a few exceptions. US-made products are too expensive, notwithstanding the unwanted immigrant (legal or otherwise) labor that helps bring down your costs.

I do not know for sure. In 2002, DeWalt ceased all tool manufacturing in the USA and moved manufacturing to Mexico and China, but they did announce this past Veterans Day they were brining some manufacturing back to the U.S.

If it were made here the union would probably move in and it would put the company out of business. Yes, maybe one day we will wake up and make laws that protect business owners and allow people here in the US to actually work.

No, but the manufacturer is moving some of its manufacturing to the U.S (Kokomo Indiana) this year.

I believe that they are. Bob's says that all of their source farms are in the USA as are all of their production mills.

China, of course. Its hard to find things made in the USA anymore. Sucks, I know, but what can you do.

China unfortunately. If you want US made speakers then you will pay many times more.

Andrew, few of us spend time on ice blocks, horseshoes or ditto machines any more, and that didn't wreck the economy. On the plus side, think of all the oil that'll be saved from not shipping little plastic things from the other side of the planet. There is one being developed, in Massachusetts, that'll make electronics (circuitry). China's 3D printing housing and one's being printed in Amsterdam. Whoosh! Time flies!

It looks like the materials originate from the US but they do outsource manufacture, possibly to China. Not a big surprise.

By the way I only ask this because it doesn't say anywhere on the production information page and usually they have that sort of information. For anyone who can answer this, thanks in advance!
