The knife I received from amazon does not have markings for blade material as pictured, does yours? Mine only has: "KAI 1760 MADE IN USA" on one side and "Kershaw" on the other. EDIT:Thanks for all the responses, my question was aimed at trying to...

No this blade does not have steel type marked, but if you bought the standard bead blasted with black g-10 handles then the steel type is Sandvik 14C28N.

Sorry man, just looked at the picture myself. This picture has changed since I bought mine, which was a non-serrated and the picture previously showed a non-serrated blade.

i dont know, it's a Chinese steel. very tough . i would buy it again. unless you live in a area that gets down past -10. then the blade might chip. but for the rest of us it's a awesome knife.

That's a good question! My knife has markings that say "BUCK USA" only. I see no "made in" China or USA.

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

Older kershaws were made in the USA and at least some have USA near the blade pivot point. The new ones say CHINA in this area. You probably have a good one.

This kershaw knife is made in the USA facility. The description must be in error.

It is not stated on the box or the blade. According to the Kershaw website; "Steel: 8Cr13MoV, stonewashed & satin finish".

Great question ! I just went into my Go bag and pulled it out. It says Japan on the blade I've used it for a while now It's one of my favorite. Bang for the buck knifes. Holds an edge. I use the Spyderco sharpening system. I can shave with it. Enjoy.

Not sure if this is a 2nd generation, by that I assume you mean there was a previous model. I do know it is a fantastic knife .I collect Knives ,Not the extrem High end but avarage mans knife. Being very disappointed the past few years where Knife companys only made knives in the USA ,like Buck and Gerber,Kershaw now have some made in China. You won't be disappointed ,Simple wood handle, good steel ,very nicly ground ,nice desine ,comes sharp.

Jeff, you would have to contact Ka-Bar for a production date on this knife. We are an authorized dealer and received these directly from Ka-Bar last year.

Hi. I'm from Victorinox. There are variations in the mold used by the factory for the handle. The handle is the same though and still made in Switzerland. Could you tell me more about what is different on the blade? They are phasing out the Swiss emblem at the factory, so you will start to see just "Victorinox" on the blade. I believe the item number should still be there too though. Not all 3rd party sellers on amazon are "authorized" sellers, meaning they are not buying their knives directly from us. It is best to buy directly from amazon or an authorized 3rd party seller. Hi. I'm from Victorinox. There are variations in the mold used by the factory for the handle.

I emailed Cold Steel and they explained about the gring,flat vs hollow.I never really noticed before,now it's easy to spot but it still does not stop sellers from listing both and or using a picture different than what their actoally selling. I already have a SK-5 knife and was thinking about buying another for a present.I will be in contact with the seller before I make a purchase to be sure what I am getting. Frankly I would not want the stainless version.

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.

The Knife will have Ka Bar Logo and USA stamped into the metal. There should be Official literature from Ka Bar; about the knife and history with the company. The knife will also be a full tang knife...it does not mean much but a quality that does separate itself. My knives have all been authentic.

On one blade is stamped "China." I would doubt seriously if they'd make blades here and send them to China. If, for wherever reason, you want a Buck made in the US, buy the model 301 (pretty sure that's the correct number). Regards, George
