Work Wear And American Knives

Thanks for your thoughts on the subject bro. I avoided it for some time now. Figured it was time to wish we had more American made options with all our products

Great rant, more people need to say it 🇺🇸

I love 1620. That’s all I wear now. Love em. 🇺🇸

I like Chinese knives for the value, but nothing beats the feeling of picking up a proper American made beauty. There's just something extra about American knives that really makes them feel distinct from anything that I've handled from anywhere else in the world

I agree with you whenever possible. I buy USA made.

Darn Tough merino wool socks made in US with lifetime warranty are my favorite. Wigwam is cheaper but not as good. Totally agree with u on USA knives👊👊and forgettable Chinese knives

Hard to find usa made workwear, specifically shirts. But definitely always try to buy American.

Bombas socks are great, made from marino wool. Keeps cool in summer and warm in winter

5.11 tactical makes these rip/snag resistant cargo pants ...they aunt cheap but I wore a pair for work ...probably three days a week for 4 years until I got too fat fir em. Still hanging in the closet actually. I wear ariat m5's ...they have a true denim for aroubd 90 but the stretchy ones are like ...70. Really good point on the Chinese govt owning all the "companies" I was talking to Jed about Strider and how few models he has and how thet model seems to work very well. He told me he just gets bored making thr same knife over and over and I can definiteky respect that aspect. Great video bro. 😎💪

Sounds like you read my comment on Dave's video 😆 Dave is an awesome dude and he had a really sound take and good perspective on all of it. I totally get why he has a few Chinese knives. I'm not as curious as he is so I can easily resist buying them, but they are indeed well made and can be fun to experience. He does it for the love of knives, and I respect it. You nailed it about how they produce goods in China. Everything comes from a few factories and they just put whatever brand name belongs on whatever comes off the line. Another funny part is all of the marketing videos the Chinese knife companies put out. In their very obviously staged 'factory tour' videos everybody looks like an emotionless worker bee plugging away. The propaganda is easy to see through, but ignorance is bliss. Obviously I'm really impassioned about the China vs USA knives topic. I think if more people were armed with unbiased information, they would dump Chinese made knives, even from local designers they appreciate. But I'll always stand firm on defending people's right in exercising their freedom to buy what they want with their money. I've seen some knife tubers try to tell people what to buy and it's just pathetic watching them let their emotions convince them that people should do what they say instead of let them think for themselves. They're influencers of the worst kind. Cheers man!

Been wearing wrangler work pants and 5-11 pants. Danner boots. And regular T-shirts . Can't afford much else. All about buying American made when I can, but it's becoming more difficult every day.

Bombas socks💯

Nike socks, moisture wicking with top arch support. No toe or heel support but my favorite. Wrangler ATG pants canvas at target. Nike or UA undershirt, the compression kind. Wrangler or Jockey antimicrobial boxer briefs. Wrangler hiviz shirt. Carhartt hiviz hoodies.

With you on every word of that factual rant, check costco on mens sport socks,i would switch to 6inch boot inthe warmer weather

Ariat rebar pants have a knife pocket, Fox River boot socks or I have redwing boot socks

FILSON 👌🏻

I used to buy expensive work gear now aside from my red wings I buy pants at thrift stores. I destroy pants regularly so 10-12 dollars I don’t mind

Also buy local! Hire american tradesman.

Levi’s, duluth shirts and thorogood boots

I don't personally buy non USA knives almost ever. I do have one Taiwan made knife. I have some Chinese made lights that I got before I knew anything. Does it sting a little spending 250$ on a flashlight? Yeah, but I also won't have to replace it every year. People acting like like , "well, your TV and toaster are made in China, so why bother?" That way of thinking is why i want to puke when my wife turned the "news" on. Just like the crazy lefties , people like this try shaming people who choose not to buy something from China.
