Default New Rugers

I picked up a new Ruger for $14 the other day. It was an LCP. No, not the pistol, it's a new folding knife. As you can guess from the price, it's a Chinese made knife. The gunshop had two models, a Redhawk with a 4" blade, and the LCP with a 2" blade. Both knives are red bodies, black blades, and come in a plastic blister pack. It's a nice knife, not Case quality, but a nice carry knife.
Interestingly, the importers address, on the back of the package, is in Bentonville, Arkansas. I seem to remember another company from there that sells lots of Chinese stuff, don't know if there's any connection.

It's hard to find anything not made in China anymore. I'm just glad their guns are all made here. Enjoy your new knife.

Interesting, Panther. The biggest foreign importer from Bentonville, Ar. is Wal-Mart.

Just to be clear, I haven't seen these for sale at Walmart, just one of my local gun shops. And the distributor's address is in Bentonville, but doesn't say Walmart on it. I just thought it was kinda strange. There must be daily flights from the Bentonville airport to China!
