The best known of the knives that were actually made by S&W were the Blackie Collins designed series that they made in the 1970s. One of them was a drop point lock back with wood sides. They have a good reputation. From the 1980s on S&W let Taylor use their brand name on knives most of which were made in Pacific rim countries. I do not recall Taylor having any made in the USA but maybe I've forgotten some.

With my off side thumb a small percentage of the time I can give my new S&W assisted opening knife's blade enough momentum to get it to open all the way so maybe I'll be able to make it function after my strong side thumb is healed. I do not expect a whole lot for $10 and it's barely worth the trouble of returning.

Scott, that 35 Churchill from 2017 looks like it may have seen some use. True?
