Is this knife Made In Germany? I know some higher end knives are made of German Steel, but are lower quality because they are made in China...

They are made in Germany. I have mine and love them. Very sharp and stay sharp over time. They are light weight but feel good when in use.

It says "Solingen, Germany" on it, and it's super sharp, but in a few months started to show some dents on it. It will not last as long as I would expect.

Germany for sure but this is entry level Wusthof so shop for what series you want before purchasing. I have a set of Silverpoint II series and they are fine by me and do the job well.

Usually if a knife is made in China, it will have "CHINA" stamped on the blade. My knife does not have anything stamped on the blade.

Interesting question...I assumed they were made in Germany but I called Wusthof and was told the stainless steel knives are made in China. All the others in Germany.

China is stamped right on the blade...but the steel is 4116 Krupp german stainless. It is an extremely sharp knife out of the box. It has not needed sharpening or had any problems since I bought it.. lightweight EDC...still recommended.

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.

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:(

China - the etched printing on the knife reads, "FINE EDGE PRO - GERMAN STAINLESS STEEL - MADE IN CHINA" Of course, given the politics of the area, a factory in Taiwan may consider itself to be in China; no city of origin is shown on the knife blade. The knives work well, and so far have been an excellent purchase.

no, but it is still a pretty good knife. whats a knife nowadays without the "made in china"label on it? i bought it as a gift thinking it was american made, and was disappointed seeing that it was not.

From what was written, these knives are now made in China. I'm from upstate NY and they used to be made in Ellenville but that whole line was bought out. I have the schf10 and the schfn3 and like the grip on the schf10 better. It is easier to hold and doesn't have such big, individual indentations

I believe the steel is from japan an the knife is manufactured in sweden. It is a solid knife. Similar to spyderco who commission steel from japan, like everything there are different qualities no matter where it might, or might not come from.

The one that I have purchased was made in Taiwan. In my opinion it doesn't matter where it is made at ,but what is made of and put together. I have been a collector and knife maker for years. Carbon steel has always been the most practical for ease of sharpening and what I use. Yes it does rust , but a knife is a tool not a thing to set on a shelve and stared at. Take care of your tools and they will take care of you.

Mine is marked 'Taiwan'. Unless you're a metallurgist I guess you won't know for sure. But I can tell you that for less than $30 you aren't going to find many knives as well-made and comfortable as this one. If you want a knife built in the U.S. with top-notch materials then be ready to spend a lot more than $30.00.

That's a good question. I gave this 3-piece set as a gift, so I don't know the answer. However, I received a Wusthof knife block including the steak knives for Christmas. The quality and craftsmanship don't appear to be nearly as good as other Wusthof knives I have used in the past, which makes me wonder if there are different "levels" or models, and if all Wusthof products are truly manufactured in Germany. Here is a link I found, which you might find helpful. There are phone numbers for inquiries at the bottom. You should give them a call!

It's from china, I believe it's under close supervision by spyderco.. They just did this to cut cost. I have no complaints with the steel. It's been my beater knife ever since and I'm satisfied with it.
