Is this knife made in Japan?

Yes, it is. It is produced by Fuji Cutlery, fairly large factory of Fujitora Industries, which was established after the war, in 1953 as Fujitora Industries, in the city Tsubame, in the west central prefecture of Niigata. They started out making farm equipment, I believe.

Yes, and is an excellent knife. Has a very hard VG 10 core with softer stainless cladding, hold an edge well and not hard to sharpen . I have several Japanese Chefs knives (Gyutou) and this is one of my favorites. As good or better than many costing much more (I know since most I own do) . A bargain knife .

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.

Yes, it is made in Japan. It's terrific. We've had ours for a couple years now and don't know how we ever got along without it.

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.

Short answer Japan. The blade is Japanese Aus 8A Stainless w/ Black Tuff-Ex™ Finish. Though not made in U.S. Cold Steel has excellent quality control to ensure a solid product.

No, it was not made in Japan. Information on the box it was packed in reads "Designed in U S A. Made in China. Patent Pending. However it seems to be well made.

I looked at the set and can't tell. It doesn't say anywhere if it is actually made in Japan or elsewhere or if it is handmade. It is a beautiful little set, is heavy-duty and well-constructed, and very functional.

The label says "Crafted in Japan." Whether or not it is made specifically in Seki-City, Gifu-Prefecture, I do not know. It is excellent quality and very sharp for a nail trimmer, imho.

Mine says Taiwan on the blade. Don't let that scare you off, it's a great knife.

I think it is Taiwan. It doesn't say on the blade nor on the sheath. But I found a website of the guy who made it, Russell and at the details it says "origin Taiwan." It also seems that the price on his website is way cheaper than CRKT and even cheaper than Amazon: http://www.agrussell.com/ag-russell-sting-by-crkt/p/CL-2020/. I would still buy from Amazon due to good shipping. Personally, it doesn't matter if it is not made in USA because the quality is excellent! Good weight and very sharp. Can be used, believe it or not, for cooking

"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.

No; I was a bit unhappy. It was made in their Taiwan plant. It is a great knife even still. Very sharp and it's always on me. I prefer American made whenever possible.
