Where is the RTAK II made, and where is the 5160 steel from?

Made in the US. As to where the steel is sourced from, also very likely US.

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.

They are made in China. Most Tekton products come from there. I've had no problems with the durability.

No clue. No nameplate or documentation indicating country of origin. Warning! Not a well balanced fan blade assembly. Quite noticeable at top speed.

I believe the steel is from japan an the knife is manufactured in sweden. It is a solid knife. Similar to spyderco who commission steel from japan, like everything there are different qualities no matter where it might, or might not come from.

5160 unless you get an older one I think.by the way buy it you'll love it and will not find it anywhere close to this price.

I have both and they are very different. They are both big knives. The SP51 has the kraton type handle but a thicker blade. Also, the blade is not as pointed and bevels about half way from the back to the edge. While the RTAKII has a micarta type handle, thinner blade, but wider and bevels from the back to the edge. I think the RTAKII handle, though durable, feels clunky with little character. The SP51 handle feels good but the blade is heavy. I don't think there is any right answer. You almost need to take your chances and try them out one at a time.

Mine was made in Tiawan. I do not know of other manufacturing sites. Hope this helps.

My old Recon Tanto says COLD STEEL CARBON V(TM) MADE IN U.S.A. but it's at least 25 years old.

This particular model is made in China. I am definitely pleased with this product no matter where it was made. It gets wrinkles out of items that I have used other irons on that did not work. I plan on getting the new Rowenta Pro Iron Steam Station. The Rowenta Headquarters is in Erbach im Odenwald in Odenwaldkreis which is in Germany. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowenta

China! I own one, bought it for my wife. An important thing to know about Cold Steel Swords in General is that they are "beater" swords. They are made of high quality steel, and they are tough as hell! Their Katanas are not of traditional weight and balance, they are heavier, and more cumbersome but you could probably chop down a decent sized tree with this sword and then sharpen/polish it back to good as new.

I was under the impression it was manufactured by Tuff Zone in Michigan and not simply imported by them. You have me a little worried, so I emailed them to make sure. I must say that I just love this grip on my WASR. I paid $15, but just found that they are $10 now? Of course, I ordered another one for my new Saiga AK. For now, I would say Yes, but I will confirm it when I hear from them. You might consider calling or emailing them, too.

I'm pretty sure all Cold Steel products are made in America. I have a lot of their products I really like them

The Cold Steel two handed machete I have had for a couple of years was made in South Africa. It is a great tool. Scott
