What is this knife made of and does it say "Sheffield" on either side of the blade?

Hi Pants, the blade states 'TW117 Stainless Steel Handcrafted in China' nowhere does it mention Sheffield. However, this does not detract from the pure awesomeness of this little penknife. It's made of steel and it appears to be quite a good quality, sturdy little thing. (Maybe i'm biased though as i'm like a magpie when it comes to shiny, oily objects.)

The blade is steel. This is really a nice peeler. I have another that is larger, more heavy duty, and does fancy cuts, but this is great for everyday use.

It is an alloy. The technical version is on the cold steel site, or Wikipedia I can say However, that this knife made in Taiwan is v good. The addition of a partial handguard is v welcome. The knife I received was not 'shaving sharp' out of the box, but a little work has made it so. It also holds a good edge, even with hard labor, which is a characteristic of this type of alloy. More than worth it.

Not quite sure, I looked it up and think it was only the color of the handle. You will not be disappointed by either one of these knives. It is by far the best knife I have every owned. My most favorite knife and I keep it with me in my vehicle always. One of the sharpest knives I've ever seen out of the box. Great knife!

I know it's 4034 steel, but as for origin I am not sure. I can say I have put it through the paces and no nicks in blade and it has not lost its very very sharp edge. Also it does have a safety switch to prevent accidental opening. Lastly the blade does have 3 patent #s, not sure how many if any are for the blade itself. Hope I have helped, take care.

The tiny mark on the blade says "Seki -Japan" which indicates the steel maker. I use a diamond plate for sharpening ... the factory edge sucketh so some work was required but the edge is much better now.

It's made out of a durable plastic. I love this knife. The sheath allows u to carry horizontally on your was which is nice when u bend over

Hey sorry for the late reply. It's a half serrated stainless steel blade. Handle is high quality material. Not sure bout the handle but it has done weight to it. Hope that helps answer your question

i dont know, it's a Chinese steel. very tough . i would buy it again. unless you live in a area that gets down past -10. then the blade might chip. but for the rest of us it's a awesome knife.

Not sure what it is made of, but it was a very nice looking knife. Got it for my grandson and he was very happy with it.

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

This knife is made in Switzerland. Not sure why it says that on the detail page.

It is not stated on the box or the blade. According to the Kershaw website; "Steel: 8Cr13MoV, stonewashed & satin finish".

I'm not sure if it is, but take this into consideration. The handle is solid aluminum and most like fused with the blade. Plus, the company is Cold Steel. This is designed by a company that backs their knives 100%.

The blade is made of A2 steel. See description link:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002B56CUO?ie=UTF8

I'm not sure because on the knife didn't print or mark to said where it has been made & It's package has been thrown away. As a Shipping/Receiving; I have a change to use it everyday. It's so solid; sturdy & beautiful too. If you looking for this kind of utility knife, I suggest that you should pick this knife instead of going with difference Brand/Type of knife.

Mine does not list the steel type, but unless you have a special run of this knife the steel is all the same.
