I believe all the knives in this set are forged. They all look like the steak knives. As to where these were made, have no clue anymore, threw the packaging away when I decided to keep the knives. They are really good knives, no matter where they were made.

It is made in China. On one side of the blade's bottom it reads Buck 379; on the other, China. I love the knife but am not fooled into thinking it is the best stainless Buck can make because it isn't. I sharpen it daily using a Rada Mfg. Co. 'Quick Edge' knife sharpener. Three swipes through the Rada and my blade is very sharp once again. You can get the Rada sharpener on Amazon for two bucks if you poke around. I use the Rada on my kitchen steak knives every time I use them; they too are Chinese stainless that doesn't hold an edge.

I actually don't know what type of steel these are made from. They are swiss made and they are the favorite knife of Cooks illustrated/ America Test Kitchen. That is why I bought one, and I am very happy with it.There are other responders to my comments and they say it is stainless steel. Someone else says it is high carbon stainless steel with a 15 degree angle. Another said it is a Victornox and they are the worlds best knife maker. So NOW I'M really glad I bought one.

These are very different as they are high carbon forged knives made in Germany. The knives you typically find at those stores mentioned are usually stamped (not forged) and are made in China.

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!

They are made in China. I did not know that when I bought them, but I would totally but them again regardless. They are, by far, the best knives I own

Richard, I think I understand what "forged" would mean. The metal 'blade' runs the entire length of the knife with the handle attached to each side via bolt-like pieces. I have purchased a number of steak knife sets over the years trying to find ones that I like. These are easily a "10" in my book. I plan to order another set of 4 just to have some on hand in case of breakage. Lynn's husband Larry

I'm not exactly sure but I believe they are made in China. The same company has higher end knives that are made in Japan. The important thing to remember is that it is a very high quality knife at a very affordable price. It will last long and hold an edge because it has high carbon steel. Most similarly priced knives will not have that.

In the mid-eighties Chicago Cutlery was bought by General Housewares, which was then sold to Corning Consumer products, and now (evidently) World Kitchen. Here is a comment from "ChefTalk.com": "I have some Chicago Cutlery, Made in USA, and they were actually, fairly decent. The current production is Made in China. I advise that you avoid them. World Kitchen acquired General Housewares. EKCO has also gone the way of Chicago Cutlery." Even if they are now made in China (the knives have no indication) these still remain excellent steak knives, in my opinion.

Should be Taiwan. I have three other knives from them and they're all from Taiwan.

I don't know. I threw the box away, and there are no markings on the knives to indicate where they were made. I can say that after 2 months, I am still as happy with them as I was initially. Sorry I can't answer your question :(

China. They don't hold an edge, very disappointed in spending $100 for them. Should have kept my TV knives, they stayed sharp and were dish washer safe. Henckels is off my "buy" list.

They are made of high carbon German steel. That doesn`t necessarily mean they`re made there. But I`ve worked in the steel industry most of my life, and I can tell you that High Carbon German Stainless is great for knives. I also have a Cut-co set for special occasions, but these knives are a very close second.I bought this set mainly for space savings, but was nicely surprised by the quality.

I gave the knife to my son for his birthday but in checking the same knife I have in my set it is made in Spain. Some of the steak knives I have by Henckels were made in Thailand. Hope this helps

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.

Unlike some for sale at the stores...these are made in Germany. I returned a Set purchased at Macys as the quality wasn't what I expected. These knives are what I would expect from this company. The ones purchased at Macys I believe were made in China:(

Yes these knives are made in china or taiwan. Can't exactly remember which. I ordered the knife and once I receive it I returned it the ext day. Save your time and money and get a buck knife. Needless to say I was extremely dissatisfied with the knife.
