Does anyone know: Was this knife made in China or not?

I couldn't find any info printed on the knife itself, but I believe it is made in Taiwan. I also prefer to buy from US manufacturers if possible, but admittedly it always breaks down to quality control over everything else. Schrade is an American company that has been around for decades. It wouldn't surprise me to find out it wasn't made in the US. But then again, it doesn't surprise me that Cold Steel products are made in China or Taiwan either. See what I mean?

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.

It says on the box that it is made in China. Does anyone in the U S make knives, other than custom, any more?

I thought it was made in USA but upon receiving the knife I found it was made in china however, the quality is there and I would recommend it as a purchase. I have since ordered 3 more!

I ordered it thru a company in GB. There is no proof of country on the knife to show where it was made.

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.

Vernon is correct - there is a label on the box that says "made in China". However Jim C is also correct - it is a very nice knife and I would not hesitate to buy another. It has nice weight and the blade holds it's edge very well. I had an Old Timer I carried every day for over 30 years until I lost it and replaced it with this one. This one is larger than I expected but I like it a lot. If you want a pocket knife to carry every day you might want to get a smaller version.

The first number of releases of these knives where made in the USA. They then discontinued it, then brought it back as a China made product. They should have changed the product number because there has been a lot of confusion on this knife.

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.

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

The blade is not stamped with the country of orgin and I no longer have the packaging. But in my opinion I do not think it is a US made knife.

Imported from China (it says China on the blade). It is a very heavy duty knife and am looking forward to using it next season!

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.

Yes Mtech knives are made in China as are most all other knives on the market today. Better quality than you might think. I love mine.

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.

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!
