For this set, all knives but the Steak knives are made in Spain. Steak knives are made in Thailand and of terrible quality. Scissors, steel and wood block made in China.

Some are made in the USA some overseas. However, mine do not have a "Made in China" or otherwise stamp anywhere on my set, not even on the block itself. Maybe for some if they had plastic handles might be made overseas. These particular ones are solid stainless steel and I do say, they have been the best knife set I have ever purchased. The biggest test for me was cutting a tomato and these sliced through it like cutting butter. I have had them for awhile now and have not needed to sharpen them. Both my grandmother and mother used this brand and swore by it. I recommend them.

These are genuine, made in the Laguiole area of France, known for their knives. We have two sets of these knives and have been very happy with them. Exquisitely made.

Not sure where they're made. But, if you're concerned about the quality I can tell you it is a nice set. Don't expect the knives to match the quality of any real chef knife ($500+ per), but if you take care of them, no dishwashers - hand wash, and sharpen now and again... They are very nice. I am super happy with the purchase.

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.

All 4 J. A. Henckels knife lines with exception to the ceramax line are made in Germany. I suspect the ceramax line is manufactured through their acquired Japanese company Nippa in Japan.

The knife is 100% made in Switzerland from the blade to the handle by master cutlers. You may visit our factory on your next trip to Ibach!

This knife is now made in Taiwan. I also own an older model that is made in the USA. The quality of both knives is very good.

Price is the biggest indicator to be honest. Any of Wusthof or J.A. Henckels' line that are considered "affordable" are not being made in Germany period. A full knife block set of quality German forged (as opposed to stamped) steel would set you back closer to the 1k range, not 80 bucks. Although, to be honest knife block sets in general aren't the best idea--to get really good knives, you need to buy them individually.

The knife is manufactured in Taiwan, where quality control is generally much higher than it is in mainland China. The steel is 1095 high carbon, a well known quality tool steel. The actual quality of the manufacture is not up to the standards found in American, Japanese, Scandinavian or other European knives, but it is perfectly adequate for this survival knife, which is an excellent overall design and made of good mareials.

Made in Germany, We have bought these knives as gifts and for ourselves for 33 years. Very well made and Chef endorsed. They last forever and always look good.

I hope this helps Jason. I believe on the web you can look up knife depot. If not call 1-800-248-1987. The site gives a long review of their schrade products and history. As of 2004 all their products are made in China

These knives are made in the People's Republic of China using german steel. I prefer the Victorinox knives with fibrox handles made in Switzerland.
