Is this made in USA or Japan?

Since it was invented in Japan, to work with bamboo, it is a good thing that it is indeed, made in Japan. It is re-badged through a US company. I have used it several times and it is soooo sharp it cuts like butter and a hot knife. Remember though it is a pull not push saw. I kept the plastic zip lock package to hang it and keep it well oiled. I tell you this is quality product; you will not be disappointed with this product.Besides, Japan is one of the leading exporters of metals anyway. Just because many of the products are made in Japan does not mean all products are crap. Just like anywhere in the world, quality exists...you just have to find it. Good luck.

Am not certain of actual manufacturing location. I believe that corp. hq is in Carson, CA (from internet). Not much info is given about the 2440's mfg. location. It is quite possible that it is of Japanese design and is partially made in Japan and assembled in US, but I cannot verify that. I own one and am extremely pleased with its ease of use. It is extremely sharp so great care should be taken when using it. Just a nick will cause more damage than one would might expect. I only blinked once and got a nice little cut ... haven't done that again. I slowed down - a lot! Cuts luan panel like butter. Hope this helps. Am not certain of actual manufacturing location.

It is made in Japan. The handle, replacement blade and packaging all state, "Made in Japan".

Japan but I would not fault it for that, it is a super saw and a real trick to use.

I am not sure. But according to the label on box it appears to be made in USA.

"The blade is made in Japan and the container in the United States. The rest is made and assembled in China," according to an email the company sent me in response to the question.

The one I bought was made in Japan. It says right next to the little screen. Good luck!

No idea. Bought it used without original box. Does made in Japan mean anything to you?

Mine says made in Japan, but I've had it since 2004. However, the Zojirushi rice maker I bought in July was made in China.

On the back along with model number it says "made in Japan". This is our second winter with our hot water boiler and we love it. I first saw this item on a trip to Malaysia.

Yes, it is made in Japan. I bought two in 1993 and when they I need to replace them 15 years later, I couldn't find them. I'm prepared this time, I have 3!

I do not think these are made in the usa. The writing on the front of the directions appears to be Japanese, as well as the writing on the unit itself.

I'm not 100% sure. But all items are made in Japan. Now the software that goes with it...there are Japan(Asian) and the Americas versions. Read your paper work or go to their website. OR ask the Seller

Mine is not stamped anywhere to show where it is made. I know Zojirushi Corp is in Osaka, Japan. You may try to email support@zojirushi.com or call Zojirushi America Corp at 1-800-733-6270.

I believe its made in USA but I could be mistaken. Was unable to find any stamp on the unit.
