    I can neither confirm nor deny that we may, or may not have been cooking at home because we had determined, after a long day in the garage, that we were too shitfaced to go out...

    Staying ever so slightly on topic, how does one determine if a Spyderco is US or Chinese made? Doing just a quick look, I don't see the info in Amazon or Blade HQ descriptions.

    On Blade HQ if you scroll down and hit the "more details" or something like that, it will tell you country of origin. USA, China, Taiwan, Japan, Italy etc

    Thanks! I'd expanded the description but I missed the "show all specs" tab.

    Also, I think if it costs very much more than $50 it is probably not Chinese?

    I have found recently that the sales websites contradict themselves regularly with country of origin. Spyderco forums might work better.

    Both my Resilience and my Original Military went MIA this year. One was a gift, and the other a $200 knife that I bought in the old Spyderco Outlet in Golden, after meeting Sal, and having a Factory tour with Vince, their chief engineer, and meeting Patrick Glesser. Who I blame for my love of VG10 wherever possible. Both will be replaced this year but one significanly sooner than the other. The Military is my favorited EDC folder. The Resilience will be carried at work, because it is so much easier to replace.

    I am sure one or both of those knives made it into my daughter's room, never to be seen again.

    The Spyderco site also has origin under something like 'technical specs' or such on the page for each particular knife.

    Some of the Taichung (Taiwan) knives are quite expensive. Hundreds.
