Fishing line? Knives?

Actually, my fishing line is made in Putnam by Woodstock Line.

As to knives? Made by Russel Harrington in Southbridge, MA. My
Leatherman tools are made in Portland, OR. My fishing knives are all
Buck and made in Idaho.

Ah - life is good. :)

While visiting a friend in the Netherlands, I gave him a Leatherman I'd
ordered from LLBean as a Christmas present. I was proud of the fact it was
a quality tool made in the USA.

When he opened it, he said it was made in Taiwan. I thought he was talking
about the box and told him so. He then showed my on the pliers tool the
stamp, "Made in Taiwan". I was so ****ed at LLBean!

When I got back to Stuttgart, I called LLBean. They immediately sent me
another, telling me not to worry about returning the earlier one. The one
they sent was made in the USA. I've never seen LLBean sell another one made
in Taiwan. I think the Leatherman folks got the word on that fiasco.
