Why does it say the origin of this knife is China? Is this a counterfeit Victorinox swiss army knife? I thought real ones were all Swiss-made...

I don't know. The base of the large blade says and has always said "Swiss made".

Tom, what you can read in the main blade is "victorinox Swiss made stainless" I can assure it is top quality but with this world's economy things can be done in other places..

These knives are made in the People's Republic of China using german steel. I prefer the Victorinox knives with fibrox handles made in Switzerland.

Check Boker's website, go to "about us" then FAQ. There it explains what knives are made were. I believe this one is made in Solingen Germany (the only markings that suggests place of origin is sheild on handle. Hope this helps

I purchased 10 of them and as far as I can tell all real. Imported from another country? I am on the Leatherman facebook and the discussions there indicate no Leatherman knife is imported, the rep on FB stated all knives are made and assembled in OR, USA. They were sent to me from A USA company. I hope this is helpful.

A year old question, but I'll answer anyway. The knives I received were, unfortunately, made in China. I was not aware of this when I ordered the set approximately a month ago. As all of my other Wusthof knives are made in Germany, I assumed these would also be made there. I guess that's what I get for assuming! :oP

Yes it's real. It's a older knife they don't make anymore. They make a similar one. I think that's why it's a little cheaper

Knife Center said Made in Taiwan, Amazon said Origin China, So in conclusion Asian's. Very pleased with my purchase as stated in my review. Remember Asian people have been making Blades for Centuries. Hope this was Helpful...

It is not marked as to origin, but I don't believe so. I looked at the Columbia River Knife & Tool website, and could not find a reference to country of origin.

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.

Nowadays, there are really no guarantees but I could find no "made in China" inscriptions on either the knife nor any of the literature that came with it. Regardless, this is one NICE knife (very well made) and I would not hesitate to purchase again - as a matter of fact, I probably will.

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.

OK, I tried. I even removed the scales to see if it was marked anywhere on the knife. Other than the Gerber logo there is not a mark of any kind. So I have no idea where it is made. I even did some looking on some web sites, no go. I checked the Gerber site, nothing about country of manufacture. I did find this number; 855-544-0150 which is sales at Gerbergear.com and maybe they can tell you. In the past I've been told that if a product is imported the law states that it must be stamped with the country of origin. My logic is that since it is not stamped is was made in the US ???? Gerber is based out of Portland, OR. But I would call Gerber to find out for sure. OK, I tried. I even removed the scales to see if it was marked anywhere on the knife.

Hi Stormy, the box says, "Product of China". This is not stamped on the knife itself.

Made in China. However, I have this knife and it has done well. Saying that, if I had known it was made in China, I would not have purchased it, just on principle.

I always believed they were made in Switzerland, like the Swiss army knife, another quality tool. Mine have been superb but are overdue for cleaning and maintenance. I need to send them to a reputable person and do without them for a few days, which will be painful.

Yes, they are handmade in China. But I will say this, I have bought 3 knives from this manufactor and all 3 were outstanding in quality!
