New ones still bad?

For just a little more money the U.S. made Buck knives are a great choice.
Taiwan seems to be producing some really good knives for export. I think that Spyderco even contracts a mfg there to make a couple of their knives. OTOH, I've never seen a knife from mainland China that was worth spit. I'm sure they must be capable of making better knives, but the importers only go to them for cheap junk. The fact that Schrade and Marbles are now made in China is a crime against humanity.Have a couple of the newer Schrade autos. Made in Taiwan. They are of good quality for the price. Shaving sharp out of the box and fit and finish are good.
Marbles are now made in China is a crime against humanity.
Yep look for real Schrades on Ebay and buy them or get some Mora's or Opeials.The French made knives, like Opinel and the Douk-Douk, are very good knives.
The Swedish Mora knives are also very good knives.
What is a good older big knife from Schrade?
