I completely agree that the issue of honesty about where something is made is a completely separate issue from where it is made. Openness with this issue avoids a lot of problems.

Might check out a Spyderco Street Bowie designed by Fred Perrin. VG-10. Made in Japan. The sheath is 'meh' IMO, but at a street price for under $100 a guy can go with custom kydex -

I think it's fair to assume that Kyle Defoor is using the american-made RAT blade. He's friends with the guy that makes them, so you'd have to imagine that he is not getting a run of the mill blade.
This discussion has been very helpful though. Since the price is equal, I've definitely swung towards the Dynamis blade over this.
FYI
Headhunter Blades will be running a $150 off sale on the Rat and other blades on 5/28 & 5/29. The website is announcing a Memorial Day sale but does not detail the discount yet. However Headhunter Blades announced the details on their FaceBook page.
