The country of origin is listed as China,How do I know the steel isn't mislabeled 8cr13mov? They're supposed to be similar but I've seen differences.

The information I have on the knife I purchased lists the blade as AUS8. The knife is also made in Taiwan and not China! Check the web for reviews onOntario knives and you should be able get all the info needed Good luck. I am very happy with this knife!

Without metallurgical knowledge and equipment, I cannot tell if the steel is a bate and switch. I can say from practical experience and use that the blade is comparable to the AUS-8A blades of my Cold Steel knives. Blade retention is decent and the steel is fairly easy to sharpen. For a knife under $30, this knife easily outperforms other knives 2 to 3 times the price point.

First of all, it's made in Taiwan and not China. Secon, Ontario is a very reputable company and I would be very hard pressed to believe that they would misinform the consumer like that.

Ontario is famous for their AUS-8, they have the best heat treatment for it in the business. The knife is assembled in China, but the materials are shipped from Ontario Knife Company.

Mine is marked 'Taiwan'. Unless you're a metallurgist I guess you won't know for sure. But I can tell you that for less than $30 you aren't going to find many knives as well-made and comfortable as this one. If you want a knife built in the U.S. with top-notch materials then be ready to spend a lot more than $30.00.

中国 china. Mine are stainless Steel and say China under them. So either the steel is from China and they are stamped out in USA or Steel and Production from China. They're good for beginner and learning.

The blade is stamped 8Cr13MoV not Sandvik 14C28N. Made in China. It does hold an edge fairly well and for $23 who is complaining. I like the knife and recommended it to several friends who are purchasing one too.

Mine says Taiwan on the blade. Don't let that scare you off, it's a great knife.

It is chinese steel but by no means of the poorest quality they could find at the bottom of the barrel. It still holds an edge pretty well for the price and doesn't seem to chip at all so far, though it may need a once-over with a sharpener to hone up that factory edge. I am not sure what grade it is but I believe it to be one of the mid to high quality grades of the steel that comes out of china.

I don't have the information regarding country of origin (probably China). It is sturdy.

As with so many products, country of origin is China. Unless there are major issues with origin, it is still a good product.

They are German steel. I'm not sure where the country of origin is. They are the same kind I used when I lived in Berlin. Excellent quality and very sharp.

The item wasn't labeled with country of origin, but I suspect it is Chinese. It's practically a carbon copy of the Weber Bulldog handle-----very high quality. If you want to make sure of USAmanufacture, just buy the Weber handle. It's only a few bucks more.

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

It does say China, I have two of these and they are absolutely awesome! I put one through some pretty tough use and still has a razor sharp edge. I would make sure the one you order has the secure-ex plastic sheath and not the nylon version as I have seen on a few older versions being sold occasionally. Taiwan is a province of China. I would make sure you order from Cold Steel themselves on Amazon to make sure you don't get a counterfeit.

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.

Hello Jason. Well, nowhere on the swager does it say China or Taiwan or Japan. It says made in U.S. A. in Oroville, California. It is made of cast aluminum and looks very high quality. It is well finished, no burs or rough cuts. Bolts and nuts are all quality. The size is a little deceiving though. It looks bigger in the pictures than it actually is. Mine is 6 1/4 inches long. I think it will definitely have to be bolted down to the work bench. Is it worth $118 bucks? Yes because the other methods for un-swagging primer pockets on military brass can leave the pocket enlarged and cause the primer to unseat or blow out, from my past experience. There are other tools which mount in a single stage press that would probably do the same function. I would recommend this RCBS tool. Jimmy Fielding, U.S. Army Retired

That is a good question, {May have been China} no place of origin on the box, and if it is not replaced, do not order their products. Because you could get ripped off as well. Just don't buy, till they honor their word. Thanks, Marion Hester[

Yes it is. The one I received was made in Taiwan, has the smaller finger choil and AUS-8 instead of AUS-6 steel.
