Oh but there is.
Take a look at Great Eastern, Canal Street, Bark River, Queen, North Woods (my fav although they do have some of their slip joints made for them by Queen)even Utica and good ol Case knives are still made in the US and sell at a reasonable price.
Yep. Bear and Sons are 100% USA made also.
Other larger companies who still sell made in USA blades include Kabar, Kershaw, Remington, Gerber, Kutmaster (Utica)and Moore Maker.
In addition to Bark River and Northwoods, there are a couple other knife makers here in Michigan that make similar type knives that were also inspired by Michigan's 2 greatest knife makers, Scagel and Marbles. These include Hess, Rapid River, and Hycreek. (There is one more also but I'm drawing a blank)
I believe now that Camillus went under(RIP) Remingtons are made by Bear now, and Moore Maker may be also(or at least some of them are. Some may be made by Queen also methinks).
I concentrate on buying Made in USA knives only, with one exception: I have a bunch of Jap made Taylor Cutlery (Bear Creek and Elk Horn brands)knives. Other than these vintage Jap era Taylor knives, I have very few that were not made in USA......
