Is the word CHINA in a place it would be hard to spot or is it obviious and just out there?

On mine, there are painted on white letters that say China about 1/8 of an inch tall, right at the base of the blade, on one side. A little black paint would hide it, or if you were very careful and used a really fine grit, you could probably sand it off.

Yep, in small white letters near the base. I received this as a well-intentioned gift. Looks great BUT...It's NOT getting anywhere near my M1 Garand!

The word China is right on the blade by the handle on the ones that I have seen from China. They can also have U.S. on the blade by the handle or on the handle itself.

I believe there was a sticker on the bottom which said China. Yes I too would have been happier if this old and valued friend of a firm made it in the USA but still give credit where credit is due, the item not only looks like it works but does in fact work very well indeed. In addition it looks great and I would not hesitate giving one as a gift. I have two and two more of the smaller edition of this item.

It is visible but only detectable if you are looking for it. It does not catch the eye.

I am not 100% positive, but I would say China is most likely the country of origin.

It's made in China. But... it's one of a kind and it's great. What choice to we have these days?

I don't know. but I like it. I brought it back to China, and so far so good!

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 thought it was when I bought it, but I think it's china, which actually has me upset now that you made me look.

China for sure, though I do not have it in front of me to look at it. It is imported as I have spoken to their customer service folks, which I have to say despite all the problems with mine they are replacing it.

Hello, Like where almost everything else is made.... China For the money, I think it is still a good choice. Happy new year

Sorry but I think I see what remains of a "Made in China" sticker on the botton of mine. (I'd be shocked if it was manufactured anywhere in else...)

Not really, but try to place it in a secure area or an inconspicuous site where folks don't notice it is there.

Robert.......I am guessing China....is a bit on the cheesy side.....but so far it works really well.......had it a year and a half....

In very small print on the bottom "made in China". One drawback to shopping on line is there's no way that I'm aware of to know where your product is made.

I assumed China, because that's the reality of modern consumerism, right? Just looked at the box to confirm that, indeed, it's made in China. Surprise.

Hi Karen, it is visible but not as much as you would like it. I guess you could say it is acceptable.

I do remember seeing the word CHINA somewhere along the way of putting piece together and thinking to myself this is also another item made in CHINA.
