This gorgeous knife is hand-crafted in Seki City, Japan, the home of Shun knives.

Mine was made in Japan. I think this question has cropped up before and there seemed to be some variance. I would be extremely surprised if they're not all made in Japan. Why set up any form of manufacturing base elsewhere when you can just ship them over.

The box says knife made in Taiwan and box made in china. It is a nicely made knife never the less.

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

The blade is not stamped with the country of orgin and I no longer have the packaging. But in my opinion I do not think it is a US made knife.

Mine says "Made in Japan." Wonderful tool! Takes the place of a toolshed's population of this and that. Wouldn't be without mine!

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.

The one I received says Taiwan on the blade. However the Cold steel box has a company statement on the back that says their knives are made in the USA, Japan and Taiwan and that the quality and performance standards for production are the same. They all have the same one year warranty. After owning this knife for quite awhile I have to say it is a beast, I don't care where it was made this thing keeps its edge and is solid as a rock.

It's made in Japan. PS I am really happy with it. The "false edge" on the back side near the point is also sharpened.

Taiwan...I didn't know until I bought it....a little disappointed it's not made in U.S.A.....but a very good knife all the same.

Short answer: it is made in Japan. The AUS 8A is the giveaway. The Older Carbon V (my old knife) was made in the USA. There seems to be a lot of speculation revolving around the USA vs Japan make in this case. What I was able to quickly discern was that it matters not unless you are a knife aficionado or buying this knife to outlast the 3rd fourth and 20th world wars. I digress, the main point i picked up was that the AUS 8A was slightly more difficult to sharpen, though the quality throughout remains the same. Regardless of where this knife is made (for now) it will serve you well for a very, very, very long time. Short answer: it is made in Japan. The AUS 8A is the giveaway.

I don't know where this knife is made, but I am also fond of "Made in USA" products. However, Please read my review before purchasing. (No knife No return)

It says on the box that it is made in China. Does anyone in the U S make knives, other than custom, any more?

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

"The blade is made in Japan and the container in the United States. The rest is made and assembled in China," according to an email the company sent me in response to the question.
