Hardin Steel! but I admit I am biased. I have always made sure I would carry it myself before I send it out the door. www.hardinsteel.com

The cheap old ones I have
I have no need or appreciation for fancy knives. If it was a working knife, that sharpened with a tri-hone arkansas stone, it was always good enough for me.
My knives are so old, I know I paid less than $25 for each one, and a lot less for some. In fact, I had to repair for the umpthteen time, the rubber handle to a pocket knife, and glue it back to the metal.
Found that one years ago, and didn't cost me a dime. Just a little instant glue over time.
Never got into any knife collecting. Only need.

I carry a Henckel 4 blade stockman pocket knife every day. They are hard to get in the US, and pretty pricey, but I saw one about 15 years ago at a gun show with a buffalo horn handle and had to have one. Took me a awhile to track one down on the internet when I finally decided to get one, ended up with two.
Other than that I still use my 33 year old Buck 110 anytime I'm outdoors. I bought another buck, a larger sheath knife, about the same time and since then have never bought another Buck although I own maybe 30 knives now. I live only about 3 miles from their factory here in Idaho but have never been there to their store.
Those two are the only knives I carry regularly, except my multi-tool I use at work.

Schrade , Made in the US.
Lost mine in 2007 and found it in 2009 , no differnce no rust, just the bronce around the handle with a patina as expected, still sharp.
The Ones made in Japan now , I don't know much about them, but if you find one made in the USA buy it.
