I've got one more in the works. Prototyping is underway.



And we could use some of these fine folks on Blue Skewer.

Great additions!

All of the above have been added to the list. I know there are more US manufacturers and tool makers out there that I am not aware of. Any more additions/discussions/suggestions are encouraged. Thanks

the abbey works tools are awesome.

I've been using the crombie and chainwhip for awhile and find them to be of excellent quality

On a similar note... Soul Run makes great tool rolls that are made in the US.
