I guess he could make them in mexico or another american country and claim "made in america" and consumers could easily assume he meant the United States of America (USA)...

it is not unethical at all - america is a region - the USA is a country....if consumers fall for it that is because of their "edumacation"

it is unethical, you are deliberately misleading customers. America is often interchanged with The United States of America. |

AFAIK they are made in the US. I remember awhile back that Leatherman supports anti 2nd amendment groups. I believe it was the Million Mom March or something like that. Maybe someone
else could chime in with definitive proof. |

when you hear the words "made in America", what do you think? do you automatically think it was made in the united states, or do you think it may have been made in mexico or canada? 99% of the people out there are going to think it was made in the U.S.A. |

So when we hear the song "God Bless America" do we think of Canada and Mexico? |

American Steel, forged in Japan, stamped in China, shipped to and assembled in Mexico and sold in America. Profits sent to Kalifornia and back to China.

funny, go to south america and ask that - they get offended over this topic - America is a region, NOT A COUNTRY! argentinians, mexican, canadians, etc all reside in the Americas and are therefore American |

funny, because he was referring to items being marketed IN THE U.S.A., not bolivia, not panama, not mexico, but the USA where the locals commonly use US, USA, and America to refer to their nation. therefore it is an unethical marketing ploy designed specifically to mislead consumers in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA into thinking it was domestically produced. or am I missing something here? |

That lawsuit makes it sound like they are assembled in the US, but some/most/a few/who knows parts are manufactured overseas. I guess they can't use USA/Made in USA anymore because they would lose out on selling in California.

yes you are missing the point, it is not misleading - it is very clear that if someone says, "made in america" that is can be ANYWHERE in America, not just the USA - therefore it is not unethical or misleading now, if on the othre hand, they say made in the USA and it is a lie - that is unethical and misleading do you get it now? |

Here's that pinko's email address if you want to write him and tell him why his company will never see another dollar from your pocket [email protected]
The ass-wipes donated thousands to the Kerry campaign and think that only .gov should have guns. Lefty-Loonies and Farq-tards.

Like the part of Japan (or was it China) that changed it's name to "USA" (oo-sah) after WWII and printed "made in USA" on their stuff to get it sold here? Oh no, nothing misleading about that!

Interesting at least they did not say madde in U.S.A. haha... but not relevent to the America argument because America is not a country, it is a region that has many countries and spans continents. |

I would've purchased some other brand, had I been aware of Tim Leatherman's politics. Unfortunately for me, I didn't do my homework first. I've had my Wave for more than a few years now. I quit carrying it when the leather sheath belt loop broke on me. I've not bothered to fix it yet. Guess I won't bother now....

The Gerber Multi-tool I got for Christmas is marked "U.S.A." for whatever that's worth.

Wow! Good toknow I live in Portland Oregon where they are made or least used to be made. Guess I'll go with Gerber, they are just down the street and I think they are US made.
Now that I think about it many edged weapons are made here: Benchmade CRKT Gerber Leatherman(?) Have to look into this |
