Where was the knife made? Is it made in Japan?

Probably China, but WTF? It will cut your food. Excellet deal for a thin bladed knife if you take care of it..

I don't know. I bought this a while ago and don't have the box. Probably not.

Yes, they are made in Japan. I love to cook & having great knives make a huge difference. I recently invited new friends over for a BBQ & had these knives on the table, I didn't know one of my guests happens to be an Executive Chef back in France & he was very, very impressed that I had Global steak knives, let alone my kitchen collection!! They are wonderful & you won't regret investing in them. Enjoy!!

I'm not sure. There is no mention of where it was made on the knife itself. The packaging is long gone. I'd be pretty surprised if they were made in the USA. Regardless, they are great knives! I love them.

Short answer Japan. The blade is Japanese Aus 8A Stainless w/ Black Tuff-Ex Finish. Though not made in U.S. Cold Steel has excellent quality control to ensure a solid product.

Listed on the knife sheath that came with the Hori Hori: Manufactured in Japan

No where on the products does it state manufacture`s origin. But the knives are high quality and work great, that's all I know.

Don't know country of origin but as a damascus blade, perhaps, Japan. It is very similar with the Shun 8 inch chef knife, which I also own. It's slightly shorter than a Shun and lighter. The blade is sharp; remember to hone blade edge prior to cutting. I wanted to try a chef knife approx 40% less than a Shun. For the price wonderful knife. Also try a Zhen VG-10 or 3-ply knives.

The blade of mine is printed 'Taiwan' but from what I understand the original Recon Tanto's were made in Japan.

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.

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.

I looked at my knife and there is nothing on it- indicating where it was made, sorry

This spyderco is made in Taiwan but it still has the quality you expect. I own this knife and I love it. Thought about buying another.

Should be Taiwan. I have three other knives from them and they're all from Taiwan.

I do not find anything on the knife that says it was made in the USA. But it is made under a US patent. It may say on packaging but I don't have that.

Yeap, made in China. It's also Chinese steel based on the type. Overall, not that impressed, I've had better Chinese-made knives.

s far as I can tell, the handle is solid hard wood; it's finished w/a shellac or varnish. Blade is inserted 2-1/4 inches into the wood w/2 rivets. Bought this as gift for family member. Our own hori-hori has served us well for over 20 years. Would give you more info regarding the knife, but I don't read Japanese. Sorry. ;o)
