Shun, Kershaw and Kai are all the same. Mine has Kai on it in English and Shun japanese symbol.

I own two of these wonderful knives. Both have the Shun logo on one side and KAI stamped on the other side of the blade. However the package insert with both knives which gives the use and care instructions, etc has Kershaw printed on the outside. I don't know this for a fact, but I think Shun, KAI and Kershaw are all made by the same knife makers. Nonetheless, it doesn't bother me. I just keep enjoying all the superb, effortless and clean slices I make with this knife in all my steaks and chops. "Don't worry. Be happy," and enjoy this fine blade.

Mine is stamped with the Shun logo on one side, and either the KAI or Kershaw label (probably KAI in fine lettering - I don't have it in front of me, unfortunately). There's also the samurai crest emblem in the center of the handle, as you can see.Oh, also - just to clarify. To my understanding, KAI is the Japanese parent company which owns Shun, Pure Komachi 2, Wasabi, Seki Magoroku and possibly other knife brands. Kershaw is the American distributor / partner company with KAI Japan.

My Morakniv is stamped "Swedish Steel on the right side of the blade, but it's one with a blue handle and black pommel and hilt. I don't know how my review came to be on the wooden-handled version.

Hi. I'm from Victorinox. There are variations in the mold used by the factory for the handle. The handle is the same though and still made in Switzerland. Could you tell me more about what is different on the blade? They are phasing out the Swiss emblem at the factory, so you will start to see just "Victorinox" on the blade. I believe the item number should still be there too though. Not all 3rd party sellers on amazon are "authorized" sellers, meaning they are not buying their knives directly from us. It is best to buy directly from amazon or an authorized 3rd party seller.

Mine did. I always reccomend seeing the knife in person at a brick and mortar in person. Short of that, go to youtube and search the knife you are interested in. I've yet to not be able to find a review on any knife i am interested in purchasing on youtube. Be informed and happy cutting.

I don't...I mail it to Spyderco with $5 for return shipping (see their web site)...they will return it to the factory edge for free. I tried having a local "professional" due it and he totally jacked it up. Won't make that mistake again. This is the one problem with serrated edges...much more challenging to sharpen than a straight edge.

While the general heading on the S&W; site shows a "Made in USA" logo, this item does not, it says "imported". No marking on knife to indicate origin.

I did not require engraving for my purchased my knife, and like you stated, I do not see anywhere on Amazon's website where engraving is offered prior to shipment. Short of contacting Amazon directly to ask, my guess is the answer to your question is "no". Could you possibly get the knife engraved after you receive it? Good luck! Love the knife!

There is what looks like a serial number printed, not etched, on the blade. I did purchase multiple knives through different orders, and the number remains the same. Therefore, what it intended to look like a serial number is not actually a serial number. In spite of this, I'm quite pleased with the knife.

Hi, I thought there was only the one made, I have searched to see if any others and I can't locate another model. The one the was shipped to me is authentic and a great tool and very versatile for its compact size. Haven't spent enough time with it to see its durability, but if it's like all the other gerber gear I have, I'm sure it will take a beating. Thank out for your question, if anything I can do, feel free. Regards, ken

This particular one is more a collector's item and does have the KBar company logo. I bought one of these back in the 70's from Atlanta Cutlery and it recently got stolen. I ordered another. For $44 it is a very good work knife and does not have the logo, but is of the Kbar design: Ontario 498 Marine Combat Knife (Black)

They seem to be sending out the serrated 140SBK even though We want the plain edge 140BK that is described here. Requested a replacement and can only get a refund as of 06-25-14. Buy elsewhere I guess?

I don't think it matters if it is stamped on the blade or handle as long as it's some where within the package or contents. They're great knives though I work in a production kitchen and a buffet line haven't had a single issue or discomfort :)

Although I have not taken this knife apart, once you get it, if you do, you will notice that it seems to be one piece of steel. Think of a Kabaar. I am not sure that the knife you have is the same knife I have. I have seen them (and bought them) before that are not the same. I would use my knife if I had to, but against a bear ? Does your knife have a thumb groove on the blade ? Mine does, first knife I have seen with one. I would not worry about the blade snapping but I have bought replicas like it where I would.

yes I had that concern also. I order it and it came without the serrated blade. maybe a mistake in editing commander krammer

Just as a follow-up to my original question and the three replies I received, even though the thumbstud is not on this model I'm still going to buy one; I own Kershaw's and they are a good knife.

Kershaw's website says they are made in the US, Japan, and China. However, there does not appear to be a "made in" marking or sticker on my knife. It's an American company but the only print I can see on mine is the patent on the blade and the "Kershaw Speedsafe USA" logo
