U.S.-Made Canteens

I saw something in an ad for "USCanteen" stainless steel canteens. It looked cool, so I checked the site. Of course they don't say where the product is made, but I found on a forum that they're made in Hong Kong.

If you want a real U.S. canteen made from stainless steel (the metal ones used in service this century were made from aluminum, it seems), head over to Fall Creek Sutlery, which has U.S.-made stainless steel, copper, and wood canteens, all made in the U.S. From this I learned the word "sutler"....
