where are these blades manufactured?

Printed on the blade "Made in China", wish it was USA. They do work, they are very good blades. Cut through small trees up to 4 inches with ease.

Not sure where they are made. Everything about them is heavy duty and they function very well. I am extremely happy with them.

It is made in Japan. The handle, replacement blade and packaging all state, "Made in Japan".

No where on the products does it state manufacture`s origin. But the knives are high quality and work great, that's all I know.

They are made in Germany. I have mine and love them. Very sharp and stay sharp over time. They are light weight but feel good when in use.

No. Much better, they are made in Switzerland. One thing I failed to mention, don't bother about getting replacement blades. I did when I bought my clippers about 20 years ago and the originals are still working just fine. About once a year, dependent on use, I use a file to sharpen them and they still look and operate like new. The replacement blades are still in their plastic container. One person said she could not open them. Simply squeeze the handles and use your thumb to release the catch.We used to have over 250 rose bushes in Virginia so these things were heavily used. Not too many products I totally like. These are one of them. No. Much better, they are made in Switzerland. One thing I failed to mention, don't bother about getting replacement blades.

The blade of mine is printed 'Taiwan' but from what I understand the original Recon Tanto's were made in Japan.

"The blade is made in Japan and the container in the United States. The rest is made and assembled in China," according to an email the company sent me in response to the question.

Are you asking if the blades are stainless steel? If so the answer is there is the title description. They are stainless steel and are excellent quality.

the brand name is Rotary, made in the U.S.A. they are sharper and appear to be thicker and seem more durable than the red industrial high throw bagging blades I usually get from sears. I am very pleased with them so far

Nope, China.....but it is a well made blade. Has become one of my favorites. Kershaw's quality control overseas is top notch.

The replacement blades are made in Germany. You can buy them from amazon. They come in a plastic case with 5 or six blades. You also can buy them from The art supply warehouse.

they formerly were american made... A GOOD PRODUCT,,, i have one of the imports,, i am reserving judgement on them... they must have to meet the schrade standards,, but with the stainless steel blades,, i am not sure... the blades are not as stiff an formerly a definite minus.. a thicker blade could be used better for heavy cutting.and i do prefer the highcarbon steel for taking an edge

The blade says Taiwan. Whether it's made there in its entirety, or just the blade is anybody's guess. The quality is quite high, so I don't think China was involved at all.

They are German steel. I'm not sure where the country of origin is. They are the same kind I used when I lived in Berlin. Excellent quality and very sharp.

China is what I was told when I contacted the company, but it is a US based company. They are really amazing knives though. I use them so much that I bought another set.

I always believed they were made in Switzerland, like the Swiss army knife, another quality tool. Mine have been superb but are overdue for cleaning and maintenance. I need to send them to a reputable person and do without them for a few days, which will be painful.
