Leatherman's are my favorite, but if you want a good knife made in the USA go for a BUCK.( I have 4 Buck knifes and Cherish them )

You will be disappointed to hear that Buck has moved some of its manufacturing to China.

I have 10-15 Bucks. The last one, I just picked up a couple of weeks ago, was made in China.

When they moved to Idaho it was my understanding they were going to keep the custom shop in the USA.

ON EDIT:

My current favorite knife is a William Henry, but they don't make survival knives.

Just got this delivered the other day, now Im trying to find some nice scales to make the handle. Anyone have a good source? The handle is 5.5" and I can only find 5" scales.

Also got one of these, some ostrich skin wrap and black flat cord. Gonna try a traditional wrap on it..

Big big fan of the Bear Grylls Gerber collection, especially the ultimate surival knife, 50 bucks from wal mart isnt bad

Make your own.

I am, sorta. Im looking for blanks long enough. 5" may do it, I need to measure exactly to see. I have found some really nice burl blanks I would like to use.

Y'all do keep in mind that Amazon.com sells production knives, and following the link from here benefits Pixtus.com.

I am still a fan of the military issue Kabar. Proven in several wars around the world. My father still has his from 1956, takes a smashing and keeps on slashing!!!

I still have mine from Viet Nam and my brother's from the Korean War. It served me well both during and after the war .

Like Jim I have also been collecting knives
for over twenty years. I must have over
150 by now. You are in luck. there will be
a knife show in DFW on March 10-11.
If you like knives this will be a treat.

Army surplus Vietnam era survival knife, don't know the cost now, and mine was issued free. It has stood the test of time.
