Dennis asked for a search on Electric Fillet Knives made in the USA.
I did a search tonight and so far have come up empty handed. I checked Berkley, American Angler, and Kershaw brands. None of these brands are made in USA.
Possibilities for finding lag bolts. Keep in mind, these companies probably do not serve the general public.

I have been completely unsuccessful at finding LED light bulbs made in the USA. If anyone has any information on a manufacturer in the USA. Please help us.
Thank you!
This is the response I received when searching for string LED lights. It comes from www.Inirgee.com. Innovative Energy Solutions.
“You are facing a true dilemma. I cannot find light strings made in the USA. The problem lies with the fact that the vast majority of consumers want “Wal-Mart” prices and that requires finding foreign manufactories which don’t have to pay American Union wages. Even items which are handcrafted in USA are usually made of components which come from China, India, Pakistan or other foreign land with cheap labor (the vast majority of items in the Hobby Lobby stores is foreign-made for example). So, if you consider our lighted wreaths, or metal-frame displays, the structures may be US made, but the lights will be from China. It is an impossible situation which I find to be frustrating on a number of levels. “
The Wheelbarrow reseach has been a little challenging. Though we can find several that claim to be made in USA. Typically the wheel is not made in the USA.
So several wheel barrows will fall within the legal guidelines of Made in USA. However, for those looking for 100% made in USA, the search is still on.

The search for bathroom scales has been largely unconfirmed. Two observations I made during my research are as follows.
Bathroom Scale (Caution, the Taylor Precision scale is being advertised as “Made in USA” however the item is marked “Made in China”)
The Detecto brand a branch of Cardinal Scale Manufacturing states “most of the Detecto brand is made in the USA”.
I’ve had several inquiries regarding yard lights.
The largest problem is that the lighting industry is very difficult to wade through. My research did not result in finding yard lights made in the USA.
