Your picture shows the seam on the blade-side of the finger bulge and no "Oneida" text on the knife. Is that what you have?

onieda is on the knife (blade), as is Vietnam (on the bulge) (where it's made). Be aware, as I was not - didn't even cross my mind....these are shorter than normal dinnerware -almost hard to tell the difference between teaspoon and tablesoon. In addition, they are very slippery when doing the dishes by hand. Other than that, they are a nice looking set.

My set does have Oneida stamped on the blade. Viet Nam is also stamped on the underside of the handles. They are very nice set and have had no problems with it.

Mine does not say on it. My guess is imported, I would not get this knife. Magic assist is broken now, pocket clip has lost a screw, not a quality knife.

Nothing in particular from what I can tell; just a generic leaf motif that fits the blade. What I got is similar to the picture, but it appears the design of everything on this knife changes slowly over time due to quality control in Pakistan.

I emailed Cold Steel and they explained about the gring,flat vs hollow.I never really noticed before,now it's easy to spot but it still does not stop sellers from listing both and or using a picture different than what their actoally selling. I already have a SK-5 knife and was thinking about buying another for a present.I will be in contact with the seller before I make a purchase to be sure what I am getting. Frankly I would not want the stainless version.

Don, there are finger grooves on both sides of the handle. The way your fingers curl around the knife, you dont really feel the grooves against your palm. All the contours on the handle are pretty rounded and it feels good in my hand. I've had this knife for a few months now, and I reallylike it.The spine of the blade is quite thick and gives the impression that the blade won't easily be snapped under heavy use. Hope this helps.

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.

the little brochure that came with it says in one place that it is but the blade has no such markings

Got it about 3 years ago as a gift for my husband. He considers it a dress knife and does not carry it every day but does carry it frequently. Still looks like new condition. Also, had it engraved and that looks new too. Hope that helps. A-

The brass snap has 'BUCK' stamped three times around it, with stamped dots between each word, and the letters are blackened. The sheath has 'Buck Knives' stamped pretty deeply into the leather flap. The old sheath that I have has a steel snap that has 'BUCK' stamped once centered in the middle. The sheath has an outlined version of of 'BUCK' in a serif font stamped on the leather flap. I prefer the older sheath, although the new sheath is very well made.

Contact Gerber and show them that there is no blade. Or, you could sharpen it yourself..

It is there, but in such tiny letters that I don't even see it. The letters are probably a 10th of the size of the type you're reading this answer at. It's also in black, not imprinted/engraved, but lasered, so it really is not noticeable unless you're actively looking for it. And this set is VERY nice. The longer I have it, the more I like it. I especially like the knives, they have a great feel to them and a solid heft.

Not quite sure, I looked it up and think it was only the color of the handle. You will not be disappointed by either one of these knives. It is by far the best knife I have every owned. My most favorite knife and I keep it with me in my vehicle always. One of the sharpest knives I've ever seen out of the box. Great knife!

Oh and one other thing. It comes in a little red flimsy box with a picture of a DIFFERENT knife than the one you are purchasing!! Seriously... I think these are made by drunk monkeys with non-opposable thumbs.. just a guess..

I purchased mine from Blade Shop. It showed a picture of Shrade imprint but when arrived it had Old Timer imprint. So I would say it depends on which seller you purchase the sheath from.

Mine says Taiwan on the blade. Don't let that scare you off, it's a great knife.

Hey Chbby-J, mine got some rusty color on it, but I think it may have been the Dye from the leather sheath...I sprayed WD-40 on the blade and wiped it down and keep it with a nice layer and it is fine...I love this knife! It keeps it's sharpness a long time...I found out they are made in Europe, but the weird thing is that there is no stamp anywhere on the knife...maybe cuz it is fake Damascus steel as Patrick B said. I never took it to get looked at by a pro...hope I was helpful...
