We're working on the details, just got approval to laser engrave the logo. Not sure what knife he will pick? Will also be doing a giveaway on 1911addicts..so if your a member there you can have a second chance to win.

So here's your answer..YES, completely manufactured in the U.S. ..not sure about the plastic box, but the knife is.

Also I was looking at his catalog last night and every knife tells you "USA Made", Sharpened here, assembled here, etc. Tells you where they're are made and if parts are assembled, sharpened finished here..very clear in the catalog.

As to WHY they are not marked USA. This is Mike's response to that question:

"We don't engrave country of origin on any of our knives, we simply engrave humanmade on all of them. We put a certificate in the box with the knife, telling where the knives are made along with a picture of the people who made them whether it is USA, Taiwan, or China."

So as you see in my post, the info pamphlet says "in Washington state" and shows the team at the US plant.

Hope that answers your concerns?

I love the drop point shape (that's correct, yeah?)
Looks heavy and assaulty. And it would be illegal? in a number of cities. Would like to see it in a smaller version.

Didn't see the Olympian on the website?

Someone else asked the same question. Mike said they just came back in stock and will be back up this week possibly.

To answer your other questions and to clarify for others..here's some simple things to know in Washington state.

In Washington, there is no statewide preemption of knife laws, which means that localities are free to enact their own ordinances and regulations regarding knives. This can make it difficult to know what the law is in each specific area.

RCW (9.41.270) says it's unlawful for anyone to carry any firearm, dagger, sword, or any other weapon that can cause bodily harm with the intent to intimidate others or threatens their safety. In other words, the length of the knife is irrelevant. If you have the intent to cause harm, it's illegal.

To clarify, it is legal to carry a knife that's longer than four inches. It becomes illegal though to carry any knife or weapon when the intent is to intimidate or cause bodily harm.

Is There A Knife “Length” Limit In Washington?

There is no statewide limit on the length of knives that can be carried in Washington. However, some localities may have ordinances that regulate knife length. For example, the city of Seattle prohibits any person from carrying a knife with a blade longer than three and a half inches.

*** In the case of the Olympian, if you were to measure the blade from the highest point of the scale to the tip of the blade...it's whithin 1/8 iinch of 3 1/2"...could easily be argued...never had a policeman measure my knife. And are they are even aware of that law...that is questionable also..***
