    Knives w/ deep pocket clips?

    I'm looking for a nice folder with a deep pocket clip for discreet carry. Please list your suggestions here. So far, I'm looking at a couple Spyderco models (Caly3, Sage). Thanks.

    Gerber Artifact Pocket Keychain Tool

    I received the two Gerber Artifacts that I ordered from Amazon.com and I’ve been carrying one of them for a couple days now, mostly while connected to my Fenix E01. It fits my hand well, and it is nice and slim. The blade lock works nicely, and the “cross...

    I'm going with what the manufacturer says, when I can find it. I've updated the first post with the info. that I've found so far. I don't see the need for asterisks when the manufacturer's statement is provided.

    Although I stated that I was not trying to contradict Brownstone in the above posts, I would like to point out this quote from the "Mag Instrument's Commitment to U.S.-Based Manufacturing" page: "So when Mag Instrument calls itself "a U.S.A. Manufacturer," what is meant is that its flashlights...

    Point taken. I guess I threw that in there because you seem to be the most concerned about the issue. You didn't answer the question though. Are you aware of any lights that meet the FTC standard for "Made in USA"?

    Thanks, John. You pretty much summed up my feelings no the subject. My question to Brownstone is this: Are there any lights listed that meet the FTC standard in your eyes? If so, which ones? And if not, or if there is no way to be sure, then what is the point of repeatedly bringing it up?

    Wife got mad last night

    Just to clarify a few things: The lights in questions were in a closed drawer in my nightstand that had not previously been accessed by the kids (to my knowledge). My three-year-old's eyes were not exposed to the bright light. It was my wife, and she actually is brilliant. I think she just...
