The Chinese ones were only given away with one of the large Becker knife models. These are better.

Yes, I remember my son pulling the 'made in china' sticker off of it and making a comment about that! I went to the page where this knife is listed and it says "Origin: China". So yes, this absolutely IS made in China! Go back to the page and scroll down to the Product Details. It states it right there. I know my son LOVES his knife! We all want products made in the US, but China is actually known for making good knives. Hope this helps!! Good luck!

Sorry, I already tossed the packaging. However, if you go to www.hamptonforge.com you can ask Hampton Forge LTD (R) directly. It is a US company based in New York and New Jersey but I can't tell you were they get there knives from. I do have to say they are awesome knives. But be careful they are so sharp I have cut myself and didn't even realize it until I saw the blood. I hope this info helps :)

Yes, they are now made in the USA. They come with black and toxic green grips. You do get a free Acheron Skeleton knife in a small built in sheath. This is a thick heavy blade. Great chopper if your used to using heavy knives for that purpose. Sheath is nylon with a large draw string pouch.

Yes, they are the same. The knife of the BK-2 and BK-22 are the same. Only the sheaths are different.

The handles are different. This is a "False" full tang. I forgot the exact term for what you call it - it is "Full tang" but not a "true" full tang. I bought this to hold on to - Go with the BK 16 or 17 if you want to beat the heck out of it since they are both true full tang knives. This one is too handsome to beat on.

these are American made, stamped "KA-BAR, Olean NY", and has an American Flag stamp on the blade. they also look like they are double heat treated up the length of the sharpened surface, to include the serrated section just fore of the handle. I got this as a replacement for the original made in china one that decided to disappear, and it is by far a superior product over the original.

It depends on the knives, some are made in Germany, and some of the lower cost are made in china, you have to check on the box of the knives

The country of origin is not stamped on the knife. The only stamp on the knife is the grade of stainless steel which is X38Cr13 steel HRC53*2 Ice Tempered - 300 F. I believe that on the box the knife set came in it had China as the country of origin. I do not have the box but am 95% sure.

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

You are right to be concerned due to the vague title. There are many "Chinese" chef's knives out there priced from $12-25, but for this price point (for the Dexter image shown) it'd better be a Dexter, whose Chinese chefs knife with wood handle is excellent and made in the USA. I would only purchase from Amazon or trusted source, if in doubt. I've used my Dexter for over 15 years.

Kershaw is an American company and the majority of their blades are made here in the usa. However they started producing less expensive models that the average person gladly will buy and those are made in china. Even the China made knives are backed by the lifetime warranty though. It's just a cheaper steel used on the blade. But don't let it fool you 8cr13MoV stills holds a fine edge maybe not as good as their Sandvik blades but still very good
