I thought Kershaw Blurs were all made in the US, why is China listed as the country of origin?

Kershaw has done what almost all manufacturers have done, Their higher end knives are still made in the USA.But they also have an import series to compete with the low end.

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.

made in China. Says so on the end of the box, but does not say so on the knife itself.

I think it is because the cocobolo wood in the handle is imported. Buck knives are made in america. The quality is great.

Not that I know of. From Kershaw's website "Kershaw knives are made in the United States of America, Japan, and China." Does it matter? Kershaw is good quality wherever it's made.

I did not look, or give it a thought when I bought it. Mainly cause I was told once by my Grandfather that Buck was a knife made in America. However, I just pulled it out and looked, "China" is on the blade. I have loved this knife it keeps a blade and is handy in size and style. Sorry, or OK however you look at it.

Yes actually it is. The original ones were made in Taiwan. But Ka-Bar shifted production a year or two back and they are now made in the US. You can tell if you have a US model if there is a US flag emblem on the blade next to the ZK emblem. I just bought one recently (several months ago) and got a US made version.Also there was a slight change in the design. There is now the curved finger extension at the end of the handle like on the Famine Tanto.

Nope says china on the box (well at least mine) however you are quite correct about the Schrade being American. There older much more collectible knives were/are US made. Ultimatesurvivaltips is and advertising channel for anyone dumb enough to send him a freebee to review. I also brought my SCHF9 after watching his review and now do not listen to one word he has to say. He doesn't even know the difference between "550 paracord" and the real miltary history of 550 paracord. Watch Josh James Kiwi Bushman for real advice.

It does not have a "made in US" stamp or statement. The blade is TR65 Pakistani steel so it probably was made in China.

According to the package, these are made in Taiwan. These are probably my 4th set of clippers. I have always used this brand and have had great luck with them. The blade dulls after so many years. I have medium size dogs (not more than 50 lbs. I have used other brands, and THOSE are very flimsy. Those bend easily and aren't sturdy. However, these seem to be more sturdy than others. I disliked the other brands so much that I returned them to the pet store where I purchased them. Hope this helps :-)

I threw away the packaging, and the shears themselves do not indicate where they were made. Sorry! They're a great pair of kitchen shears, though.

My blade says Japan, which, as I understand, is where the better quality CS blades are made. They are supposed to be somewhat better than the ones made in Taiwan. My tally of CS blades looks to be Recon Tanto, Counter Tac I, and Super Edge - Japan / Spike Tanto, Pendleton Lite Hunter, and OSS - Taiwan. I am pleased with them all.

As far as I know, it says made in the USA on the blade and on the box. I just got 3 Alpha Hunters for a friend and sons...I'm testing the 420HC steel the blade comes with, we'll see how that holds up. I don't think BUCK would lie about where one of their model knives are made. It says made in the USA, so let's hold them to it.

Love all Ken Onion designed Kershaws but used to be made in the US with S30V steel and scalloped G10 handle for around $70 now made in China from chinese steel 8CR13MOV with a a stippled G10 handle. 8CR13MOV isn't the worst for $30 but if you want something other than a beat around/yard knife look elsewhere.

Mine is stamped with the Shun logo on one side, and either the KAI or Kershaw label (probably KAI in fine lettering - I don't have it in front of me, unfortunately). There's also the samurai crest emblem in the center of the handle, as you can see.Oh, also - just to clarify. To my understanding, KAI is the Japanese parent company which owns Shun, Pure Komachi 2, Wasabi, Seki Magoroku and possibly other knife brands. Kershaw is the American distributor / partner company with KAI Japan.

The word China is right on the blade by the handle on the ones that I have seen from China. They can also have U.S. on the blade by the handle or on the handle itself.

No this model is made in China. The Chive, which is a little smaller but comes in several colors, is made in the US. The parent company of Kershaw, KAI, is in Japan however.
