Here is the line to their website.  Cannot find where they say their knives are made in USA.

I went ahead and emailed customer service.

I don't know about now, but I bought one of their Wedge neckknives around 10 years ago, and it was made in Taiwan.  It was an awful knife, even though it won the Blade Show foreign made knife of the year award back then.  Cheap 420J2 steel and a bit dangerous to use.  When I lost it somewhere out in the vegetable fields, I didn't go looking for it. Keep in mind this was 10 years ago.

if 10 years ago it was made in twian than its probably still made there because i don't think they would come back to the usa. i am still waiting on there reply to my email.

I have one of their folders here on the table. It say aus 8 China. This knife is very sharp and appears to be very well made. I have not used it enough to say how its edge holding abilities are.

well if its made in china i will not buy it. i check on all that before buying. if they have one made in usa, japan, Philippines ill buy it

heres the email "The company owner here, David Bloch designed all the knives himself – and we have our own manufacturers which are located in China, Japan and Taiwan. 

We have found that there are no good knife manufacturers in the United States.  A few companies like Buck have their own facility here, but there are only a few of them.

 

Thank You !

I am quite impressed so far with this folder, chinese or not. Only more use will tell the whole story. Darn near everything is made in china now weather  it says so or not. If it were not for china we wouldn't even have Walmart. Of course that wouldn't bother me anyway.

i check where everything i buy is made. if i have to pay more then i have too. ill buy anything made in japan because they are like us in a bad spot i will buy stuff made in Philippines, Russia, and any where in Europe. places where they don't cut corners throw in junk and chemicals in our products killing people and making junk and selling it for a premium. you couldn't convince me buy it.
