My wife bought me the Smith & Wesson SWAT knife several years ago and I was really pleased with it. I beleive that it was actually constructed in the good ol' USA. This knife, made in China, came with the handle screws lose and only two would tighten. I think the third is stripped. I guess that old adage "you get what you pay for" is true. The knife was inexpensive and would probably cost more to ship back then it's worth so... I guess I'll be keeping my Chinese Smith & Wesson.
