Made in USA Knives & Gear – American-Made Knives, Fixed Blades & Flashlights

Everything in this collection is made in the USA. We pulled our American-made knives and gear into one place so you can shop by where something is built, not just by brand. It covers folding knives, fixed blades, automatics, OTFs, and a few flashlights from makers across the country.

Made in USA FAQs

Are all the knives in this collection made in the USA?

Yes. We only add products here when the maker builds them in the USA. Some brands, like Spyderco and Demko, make certain models in the USA and others overseas, so you'll only see their American-made models in this collection.

What does "Made in USA" mean for a knife?

Under Federal Trade Commission rules, a product labeled "Made in USA" should be all or virtually all made in the United States. A knife that is only designed in the USA and made elsewhere doesn't qualify.

Where can I find American-made automatic knives?

Our Made in USA Automatic Knives collection narrows this page down to automatics, including Pro-Tech and Benchmade.

Do you carry American-made fixed blades?

Yes. White River Knives, Leucadia Blade Co., and Tactile Knife Co all make fixed blades in the USA, and you can find them here alongside our full fixed blade knives collection.
