Chinese knives CAN be okay, IF the US company keeps a close watch on their QC. But, they will cut corners if they get the chance.
I have a multi-knife set by Winchester - made in China though. Decent half-serated blade, holds an edge. But, one of the screws came out and the blade opened in my pocket! I managed to extract it without cutting myself, and that knife went in the trash.
I have another knife - a fixed-blade "Commando Tanto" with 5" tanto blade that is my favorite field knife. I once opened two steel 7.62X54R ammo tins using this knife as a chisel - it survived and stayed sharp with hardly a scratch! Takes and holds a good edge. Just the right size for general duty - NOT a huge Ramboesque knife. I lucked out with this one!
I acquired many junk knives when I first began 'collecting' them. Now I know much better what to look for.
