Yost, like others used to be made in USA. Now many/most of the line seems to be of China or Taiwan origin. I got lucky a few years ago and found a NOS Yost vise at a surplus sale for $200. The list price on their site showed around $1800. It was one of the larger ones. Mine is old enough to be of USA origin. Also have a vintage Colombian that is USA made.

A lot depends on your needs, patience, budget and luck. If you really need a vise today, go ahead and buy a foreign made one and just keep looking for that good deal on a vintage vise. It is a rare person that says "I have too many vises and need to get rid of some."
