Can anyone can confirm that K5 IIs is made in Japan?

Both my K-20 and my K-5IIs were assembled in the Phillipines. The K-20 gave me over four years of flawless service, under rain, in dusty desert and in temperatures from -10C to +40C. I have no reason to doubt the K-5IIs will follow its footsteps, where-ever it was made.

Hey. The Pentax is not made in Japan. It doesn't say so on the bottom of the camera I got. I think it says assembled in Vietnam or Philippines. I guess what they've done is that the parts must be Japanese but assembled in Vietnam or Philippines to keep the price low.Having said that, the quality and the feel of the camera is top knotch. Amazing camera. I couldn't be more happier than my buy.

No I cannot ... I have used Pentax for 45 years and have good relations with the distributor in Colorado and would be very surprised if it were made anywhere but Japan.

Yes, the label on my camera says made in Japan. Lenses are usually a different story. Most newer Pentax lenses are designed in Japan but made in Vietnam. The lenses that are made in Vietnam aren't bad ... but there is a group of photographers online who believe the best Pentax lenses are the older ones made in Japan. The truth is that newer optical formulas and lens coatings are more important than the country where the lens is assembled. My "Japanese" Toyota is assembled in the USA but most people still identify it as a "Japanese" car. ;)

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 think it is manufactured in Japan. It is of excellent quality and I love the design and finish.

Garrett, My SRK, VG-1,San MAI, was made in Japan. Hope this will be of help to you.

It is made in Japan. They tell you it's made in Israel to justify the outrageous price they charge at the mall. If you look at the boxes from the mall, there is a clean little round spot where they removed the sticker that says "Made in Japan". The sticker is present on the boxes from Amazon. The kiosk sellers are pretty sleazy.

The label on my K-50 reads: "Assembled in Philippines" , which usually means the parts were made in Japan then shipped to the Philippines for assembly. I have found it to be a very ruggedly constructed camera. Mine, with a Pentax 18-250mm attached, took a fall of about 3to 3 1/2 feet onto a concrete floor. The only damage was sustained by the protective filter.

Kershaw's website says they are made in the US, Japan, and China. However, there does not appear to be a "made in" marking or sticker on my knife. It's an American company but the only print I can see on mine is the patent on the blade and the "Kershaw Speedsafe USA" logo

Michael, As far as I can tell its a U.S. model. It has the Federal Communications Commission sticker required for all computing devices for radiation protection. I see no U.K. stickers. It was made in Thailand for Nikon. I didn't buy a refurbished unit as far as I remember as I rarely buy anything refurbished. If you have an easier way to tell, let me know and I'll recheck for you.Neal

yes, mine was made in seki japan and made out of VG10 steel the same steel used in most spydercos which are also made in seki. basically VG10 is similar to the D2 tool or ats34 steel used by benchmade

Sorry but I know the company is owned by a Japanese Co, but a number of the knives (maybe most) are still made in the USA.

My T5i is made in Japan. Both of my USM lenses are made in Japan. I do not own the 18-200, however.

All I know is all K&N; filters I have seen used to be made in the USA, but now all of them I have been seeing and using say they are made in Korea it is stamped right on top of the standard filters the black and white versions, not chrome obviously so I am certain they are made in Korea.

The one I got was made in Japan. And it looks fancy too. I feel it is real, just doesn't work as much as I thought though.

Yes actually it is. The original ones were made in Taiwan. But Ka-Bar shifted production a year or two back and they are now made in the US. You can tell if you have a US model if there is a US flag emblem on the blade next to the ZK emblem. I just bought one recently (several months ago) and got a US made version. Also there was a slight change in the design. There is now the curved finger extension at the end of the handle like on the Famine Tanto.
