Does this tanto say, "China" on the blade? I found one at a Pawn store that has that stamped, but on here it says the origin is Taiwan.

On the blade, near the hilt, one side says "Cold Steel China". The other side says "GI Tanto"

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.

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.

The steel cutter bar at bottom is stamped "Taiwan". Not sure if the rest is manufactured in USA or not. Label is in english and spanish. It is identical to one I have had for 60 years. Sharpened the cutter as soon as I got the tool and it has performed very well for last two months. I think it is as good as the old one.

Cold Steel has plants in several countries, so there's no pat answer. The country of origin is etched at the base of the blade. I'd tell you to examine the blowup of the photo, but it's etched on only one side - the side amazon did NOT photograph. Mine was made in Taiwan. Hey, Amazon. The guy makes a good point. How much trouble would it be for you to include country of manufacture in your ad copy?

It doesn't say in the blade, but there is a "Product of China" marking in the box.

I 'believe' it is the authentic one, but I'd advise passing on any with the Rothco "middle-man" involved. They have a habit of selling cheap Chinese replicas, and sometimes the real thing. Why gamble? Plus Rothco doesn't make a thing, they're just middle-men. Look for this under the authentic Ontario 499 or AFSK, which mean the same thing. By the way, it's a sold knife with a rather crude "polish". Which is great as you'll put it right to work and it'll take a beating.

Hi Stormy, the box says, "Product of China". This is not stamped on the knife itself.

It's stamped China. The ones that are in this price range usually under $60 are not US made anymore. Quality is ok, but you may have to go to local gun and knife show like I did to see the actual knife you intend to buy, and you may be able to find one of the older stock ones made in US if that is important to you.

I think it is Taiwan. It doesn't say on the blade nor on the sheath. But I found a website of the guy who made it, Russell and at the details it says "origin Taiwan." It also seems that the price on his website is way cheaper than CRKT and even cheaper than Amazon: http://www.agrussell.com/ag-russell-sting-by-crkt/p/CL-2020/. I would still buy from Amazon due to good shipping. Personally, it doesn't matter if it is not made in USA because the quality is excellent! Good weight and very sharp. Can be used, believe it or not, for cooking

It is made in China. Stainless China blade. I can say without a doubt. I love this knife, I work in a mechanics / fabrication shop, I have this knife on my hip all day everyday. I hone the blade probably once every two-three weeks maybe longer depends on how hard I've been using it. I was skeptical at first as well... But for the price, I was surprised at the durability of the blade and handle. The sheath also, I've bought Gerber that didn't have as nice of a sheath. Seriously.... My opinion. Buy it u won't be disappointed. Hope I helped a little bit friend. :-)

No it's not. Its Made In Taiwan. But It Is A Phenomenal Knife. I've Had It For Over A Year Now And It Has Never Failed To Perform Whatever Task I Use It For.

Usually if a knife is made in China, it will have "CHINA" stamped on the blade. My knife does not have anything stamped on the blade.

Despite having "china" on the blade, it's one of the best knives I've ever owned. Ifor you want to know more, I'd check Kershaws website.

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!

Nope, China.....but it is a well made blade. Has become one of my favorites. Kershaw's quality control overseas is top notch.
