Is this knife made in China? I told the NRA the last time I got a China made knife that one would be my last. I asked them if it would be possible to get a "made in USA" knife and charge more. I would be proud to add to my collection NRA knives if they were US.  Of course I got no answer from them.

Just me I guess.

Not just you. Why even bother with an item commemerating U.S. history if the item is manufactured outside of the U.S.?

 While I understand your concern, but when they offer a premium on say $85-$90 for a membership, it would be difficult to give away a knife which cost them the whole price of the membership.  There are many commemoratives you can  purchase from the US companies.  They are well made, but of course will be much more costly.

  In fact, NRA does have some nice commemorative knives available, they probably just find it unfeasible to give away  a $80 knife with an $85 membership.  http://www.nrastore.com/nra/Products.aspx?cat=Knives
