Is this knife American made?

No it is not an American Made Knife. Schrade was sold to yet another China corporation as our politicians have encouraged sending jobs overseas because big business funds their re-election campaigns. It's not that great of a knife either, only the first half of the knife is actually sharpened so the blade length is misleading.

Schrade closed their plant, I think, in 2004. Most are now made in China. They "might" be manufactured in other foreign countries also but I don't know. The Deerslayer is of foreign manufacture. It's a decent knife for a new hunter, that is, they'll do the job. I bought one for my grandson when he was 9. If you examine one up close and personal you'll quickly notice it is not of the same quality of the original Schrade knife. If you are seriously wanting a decent USA made knife, I'd recommend the Buck Zipper (has gut hook). It cost $55.++ but it's a knife that I have and I butcher quite a lot of game. There is a reason that the Deerslayer is only $23.++. Schrade closed their plant, I think, in 2004. Most are now made in China.

I know the earlier ones from the 80's were American made but not sure about this one. It is very well made though.

No, they used to be but Shrade was sold a few years ago and now unfortunately they are made in China.

It is really a great knife for hunting. My favorite for gutting and processing deer.

no, but it is still a pretty good knife. whats a knife nowadays without the "made in china"label on it? i bought it as a gift thinking it was american made, and was disappointed seeing that it was not.

To be honest, I'm not sure. It's not printed anywhere on the knife itself that I can see. It is made by Gerber and I assume that they make all their products in a particular place. My guess is that they make them in the U.S.

I don't know, but you've made me want to know. I fired an email to the Havalon corporate headquarters in Cincinnati asking if the knife was made using American labor, and/or if it was assembled here with parts made offshore. I sure hope it's made here, but I kind of doubt it. I wish I could be more helpful, but I'll re-post here when I get an answer from Havalon.

The sheath is not, Kabar is made by Buck Knives U.S. Co. Can't say for sure it was "made " in U.S.

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.

There is no country of origin stamped anywhere on the knife or sheath. Shame on me, I had not considered this. I guess that's why I bought Gerber, assuming they are all U.S.A. But some web research indicates this knife may be made in China. Oh well, you know what? It's a Gerber and it's dam nice. As for quality in this day and age, I don't think you can make a case against a Chinese Gerber knife. I'll just have to be more careful with my homework next time!

On the box it says that the knife was made in the USA. Great knife! Weighs nothing, but very handy for lots of jobs.

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 don't know if it's made in the USA, it says nothing on the knife. But it is a great knife, I beat it up pretty good and it's hold up well, and keeps its edge well

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 believe this knife was handmade in the United Kingdom. As specified by the seller.

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

No the knife is made in China but its very high quality and well designed for the price.

I'm not sure. There is no mention of where it was made on the knife itself. The packaging is long gone. I'd be pretty surprised if they were made in the USA. Regardless, they are great knives! I love them.

It is made in the USA, but not all Buck knives are made in the USA, one needs to check the packaging forthe American flag on the package.

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.
