Where is it made? Why is it so hard to find out where products are made. isn't this something that should be in the product description? I just ordered a few knives, two of them Gerber. You know, Gerber Legendary Blades, Portland Oregon. Though for sure these were USA made. Turns out the Gerber knives are made in China and The SOG seal pup is made in Taiwan. Boo for Amazon not listing something we should all pay more attention to. Where is it made?

Yes. Wikipedia also has an article on Raptor Jesus. Mine says made in Taiwan too.

SOG knives have always been made in Japan. Go to their wikipedia and review their site.

All SOG products are made in Taiwan. Also, I see most or all of the SOG knives are made with JAPENESE and CHINESE steel and other products like axes are 420, 1055, etc., steel.

Hi. I'm from Victorinox. There are variations in the mold used by the factory for the handle. The handle is the same though and still made in Switzerland. Could you tell me more about what is different on the blade? They are phasing out the Swiss emblem at the factory, so you will start to see just "Victorinox" on the blade. I believe the item number should still be there too though. Not all 3rd party sellers on amazon are "authorized" sellers, meaning they are not buying their knives directly from us. It is best to buy directly from amazon or an authorized 3rd party seller.

It is made in the USA. Amazon is known to have errors in a number of their descriptions. And it is not easy to get them to change them even when you point out it is wrong. If in doubt, go to the manufacturer's page. This particular knife is not printed on the blade as being made in the USA like most of their other USA made knives are. Not sure why. Just the handle.

Ya it's plainly marked on the blade made in China. Very disappointing. This was nowhere in the description.

If you look hard enough you MIGHT find one made in the USA. I looked for a couple weeks and then, bit the bullet. However, I was surprised that the blade was not marked as such and has held up to some pretty good beatings! I playing it by use I guess you could say. Would I buy another one, if the price is right :)

The blades are made in either Germany (the more expensive) or Japan (cheaper models). As for the rest and the assembly, I don't know. The German blades have a serial number on the opposite side from the Gerber logo, the Japanese have nothing. This is as of a little over a year ago, I have a cousin who visited the German plant while he was stationed there.

A year old question, but I'll answer anyway. The knives I received were, unfortunately, made in China. I was not aware of this when I ordered the set approximately a month ago. As all of my other Wusthof knives are made in Germany, I assumed these would also be made there. I guess that's what I get for assuming! :oP

It does not say on the knife where it was made so I would guess it was made in the USA.

While the general heading on the S&W; site shows a "Made in USA" logo, this item does not, it says "imported". No marking on knife to indicate origin.

believe most of the SOG products are from Taiwan. still a fine product. i own the seal team and seal pup elite. great bang for your buck. ive beaten the hell out of these blades for years now, and they still hold true. I mean it's no chris reeve or busse, but they certainly get the job done.

This specific model is made in China sadly. Although with that being said, I still really like the knife and this other comment is correct it is extremely well built.

That is the company name as it appears on the blade. You are correct in wondering as this was made in China.

There is no country of origin stamped anywhere on the knife or sheath. Shame on me, I had not considered this. I guess that's why I bought Gerber, assuming they are all U.S.A. But some web research indicates this knife may be made in China. Oh well, you know what? It's a Gerber and it's dam nice. As for quality in this day and age, I don't think you can make a case against a Chinese Gerber knife. I'll just have to be more careful with my homework next time!

There are no markings on the multi-tool that I have been able to find. According to SOG's website they are assembled in the US. SOG labels their knives by "Made in ________ ." The multi-tool is the only exception. There is a good possibility it is American made. The only way to be certain is to contact SOG directly.

To be honest, I'm not sure. It's not printed anywhere on the knife itself that I can see. It is made by Gerber and I assume that they make all their products in a particular place. My guess is that they make them in the U.S.

COLD STEEL knifes are assembled here in the USA... but the steel comes for overseas. from what I have read just by doing a google search. This knife is made of such great quality the "made in the USA" should be of no real concern, as far as this knife being a knife. This knife is the Only knife EVER to be issued to US Troops as a "Combat Folder", and is still serving with our troops today.
