Unfortunately... Most production swords like these are all going to be made in China, Taiwan, or the Philippines. An actual Nihon-tô will run into the thousands so most of us will never be able to afford such swords. Is this a functional katana? Certainly. It'll cut most targets with ease. Does it have the flawless details of a Nihon-tô? No, but it looks just fine and you can put some DYI work into it yourself to make it better. Hope this helps

Not that I am aware of. I never saw a label. This sword is very nice. Polished well and leather handle. Definitely worth it. You won't be disappointed

Yes, I'm afraid it does say "Made in China." But don't let yhat turn you off, it's a great sword!!

This katana is the best. It is sharp and comes with a stand to hold it and my katana came with a kit to keep the blade from rusting. You should buy it.

I can check tonight, I believe it is indeed made in China, yes it does have some little issues that need touched up. The fence does not go to full 90° due to casting flash and it has a few rough edges. Once these issues are cleaned up it is a very capable saw, just don't force it. Let the blade do the work. get in a hurry and you will end up smoking the blade. I love mine, even with its flaws it is the lowest cost non abrasive blade saw I have found.

Yes it is made in Brazil, not China. Also the steel is of good quality and holds an edge well.... A good quality machete for the $$$

No it was made in Taiwan But I have 53 knives and most of them were Made in china but this one never gets dull the paint stays on and it is reliable to take with you hunting and stuff like that. So buy it now before they are sold out

The one I received says Taiwan on the blade. However the Cold steel box has a company statement on the back that says their knives are made in the USA, Japan and Taiwan and that the quality and performance standards for production are the same. They all have the same one year warranty. After owning this knife for quite awhile I have to say it is a beast, I don't care where it was made this thing keeps its edge and is solid as a rock.

I believe it is made in Japan. I wouldn't let this scare you. It's a well made, strong device that is very sharp. You won't dull this anytime soon.

Yes, the knife is made in china. However, it is still a solid blade and served me well on my mist recent hunting trip. It can hold and edge and be useful in a number of situations. At this price, its definitely worth trying out.

Yes these knives are made in china or taiwan. Can't exactly remember which. I ordered the knife and once I receive it I returned it the ext day. Save your time and money and get a buck knife. Needless to say I was extremely dissatisfied with the knife.

It does say China, I have two of these and they are absolutely awesome! I put one through some pretty tough use and still has a razor sharp edge. I would make sure the one you order has the secure-ex plastic sheath and not the nylon version as I have seen on a few older versions being sold occasionally. Taiwan is a province of China. I would make sure you order from Cold Steel themselves on Amazon to make sure you don't get a counterfeit.

My blade says Japan, which, as I understand, is where the better quality CS blades are made. They are supposed to be somewhat better than the ones made in Taiwan. My tally of CS blades looks to be Recon Tanto, Counter Tac I, and Super Edge - Japan / Spike Tanto, Pendleton Lite Hunter, and OSS - Taiwan. I am pleased with them all.

I was wondering the same thing. The photo they chose makes it look like a Chinese counterfeit, since it doesn't have any of the official stamps on the blade.

No the knife is made in China but it is a very high quality blade. I do not know of any knives at this price made in the USA.

I did not look, or give it a thought when I bought it. Mainly cause I was told once by my Grandfather that Buck was a knife made in America. However, I just pulled it out and looked, "China" is on the blade. I have loved this knife it keeps a blade and is handy in size and style. Sorry, or OK however you look at it.

I was bummed to discover mine was "made in china" as well... I am trying to avoid products made in china. The cost of slave labor is not proportionate to what they are charging on amazon. It's a good design, but I was hoping the steel would be thicker as well...

Im going to say china, and its hard eough for many jobs, im not sure the tech terms but I used my dremel to sharpen it, and also add some custom teeth to the back, and it too about 10 of the dremel heavy duty cutting disks. the real bother is the damn sheathis a piece of junk, but I guess most of the swords on here will have the same sheath
