How do you know that this is a real Mora Classic 1? The picture does not show the knife stamped with Morakniv made in Sweden?

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.

I think I've tried to make note of this a few times, and my answer seems to get "lost". I ordered what you see in the picture, and got a genuine Morakniv... just not the one in the picture. I got http://www.moraofsweden.se/20.0.0.0/1081/cache/1081_0b6cb247adb4d39f529e0014827b64ca.jpg. Not what I ordered, but I didn't hate it enough to return it.

It is not marked as to origin, but I don't believe so. I looked at the Columbia River Knife & Tool website, and could not find a reference to country of origin.

It's stamped China. The ones that are in this price range usually under $60 are not US made anymore. Quality is ok, but you may have to go to local gun and knife show like I did to see the actual knife you intend to buy, and you may be able to find one of the older stock ones made in US if that is important to you.

Nowadays, there are really no guarantees but I could find no "made in China" inscriptions on either the knife nor any of the literature that came with it. Regardless, this is one NICE knife (very well made) and I would not hesitate to purchase again - as a matter of fact, I probably will.

I have no idea. I have never seen a fällkniven counterfeits. I guess if you manage to find one, it is more unic and valuable than the original:-) if you get a fällkniven knife, check on the back of the blade if you can see the carbon steel laminated into the blade. I guess that is to costly to imitate.

Mine is marked 'Taiwan'. Unless you're a metallurgist I guess you won't know for sure. But I can tell you that for less than $30 you aren't going to find many knives as well-made and comfortable as this one. If you want a knife built in the U.S. with top-notch materials then be ready to spend a lot more than $30.00.

Is Google down for you? Conceived and designed in Sweden, manufactured in Japan. Originally Germany. Whatever, fantastic knife.

Check Boker's website, go to "about us" then FAQ. There it explains what knives are made were. I believe this one is made in Solingen Germany (the only markings that suggests place of origin is sheild on handle. Hope this helps

Cold Steel has plants in several countries, so there's no pat answer. The country of origin is etched at the base of the blade. I'd tell you to examine the blowup of the photo, but it's etched on only one side - the side amazon did NOT photograph. Mine was made in Taiwan. Hey, Amazon. The guy makes a good point. How much trouble would it be for you to include country of manufacture in your ad copy?

I looked at my knife and there is nothing on it- indicating where it was made, sorry

I assume Austria -- but how can you really know -- it is so cheap top make items n ASIA apparently -- the knife seems fine to me I am very pleased the case and the latch are the hard parts to manufacture so I doubt it is a copy.good luck

Blade says "Made in Austria" also, I read somewhere that the steel is "spring steel". I have owned 2 of these knives and they are a great value for the money.

This knife is NOT MADE IN CHINA!They are made from Damascus steel in Pakistan and shop-finished in England where the sheaths are also made. You can easily see and feel the value, quality, and workmanship in each knife, once it is in your hand. Obviously not from China! I have purchased 5 different knives from Knife King and every one is beautiful, sturdy, and performs bushcraft tasks with excellence and ease. I intend to purchase more knives from them in the future and am confident I will be just as satisfied as I am with my previous purchases! These knives are the show pieces of my more than 30 hunting knife collection! I hope to see new models soon!

My knife has the same markings on it. No indication of blade steel on the blade. I don't have the box with me to look for any indications on there either. So far sounds legit.

These are very different as they are high carbon forged knives made in Germany. The knives you typically find at those stores mentioned are usually stamped (not forged) and are made in China.

Mine had a certificate of authenticity with it. Had the date, time, place, forge, exact sword spec, serial number and it was signed by the smith who made it. This was 2010 though. Also Musashi is now Musha. Same company producing blades under a different name.
