I forgot to mention ... even the plastic whistle is marked 'MADE IN USA". Kudos to TOPS for keeping everything indigenous. I would have expected the whistle to have been imported to save money.

As a side, this is the 4.5" blade all-black G10 model. $134.95 at TKC which has a sale on now for 5% off. It was about $125 to my door. Considering the ferro rod ($5-10 value), whistle ($3 value), sheath with belt attachment ($40 value) ... this is a bargain.
