I only buy Kershaw knives that are made in America.(seriously, this is all I buy and carry now)
I try to buy American any time I can.
I drive a Honda, but prefer 73-87 Chevy trucks
All but four of my micrometers are American made(and I have.....a few
). At $90-$170 a pop versus $70-$140 each, it's not a small difference.
Starrett 0-6" micrometer set = $1200 roughly
Mitutoyo 0-6" micrometer set = $800 roughly
I have almost two full sets of Starrett mics, so it isn't an insignificant difference. Add that in the with the other American made vs foreign made tools I have....and it hurts the pocketbook a lot.
