Is the model sold by Bostic Outfitters the American or Taiwanese made knife?

these are American made, stamped "KA-BAR, Olean NY", and has an American Flag stamp on the blade. they also look like they are double heat treated up the length of the sharpened surface, to include the serrated section just fore of the handle. I got this as a replacement for the original made in china one that decided to disappear, and it is by far a superior product over the original.

That is a good question, I order 2 ka bar zk famine knifes from Amazon. Both knifes has the American flag hallmark on both knifes' blades. I believe the American flag hallmarks represent that the knifes were made in America. However, I can not comment on knives sold by Bostic Outfitters. Just thought u should know about the knifes from Amazon.

Yes, the knife is a China manufactured product. Very good for the price though.

On the knife itself, it says USA. On the box, it says the knife is made in the US, while the sheath is made in Taiwan. This is a high-quality knife, and if you're hesitant to make the purchase because of where it was made, I can understand, but this has quickly become my go-to knife for most light to moderate work in the woods, including skinning deer and wild hogs. Just checked the contents of the box, the TDI clip included was also made in Taiwan. Any other questions can be directed to me via this source, or to the website listed on the product information pamphlet included with the knife, info@ka-bar.com. Hope this helped.

No it was made in Taiwan But I have 53 knives and most of them were Made in china but this one never gets dull the paint stays on and it is reliable to take with you hunting and stuff like that. So buy it now before they are sold out

My 0279BKS-B Alpha Hunter is stamped Buck USA on the blade, and the box it came in is clearly marked, made in the U.S.A. JWM

Doh! I knew I'd forget something in my review...the knife is made unfortunately in China. It's actually manufactured by Taylor Brands and labeled a Smith & Wesson. Good USA Knives for low cost are Kershaw.

Well I do not have this knife with me right now. However I'm really sure it's not mad in USA. It is made in Taiwan. Even though it wad made overseas, Cold steel has a pretty good quality control on their product. I would suggest you buy a Kabar over this one though...

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.

China, but it is a good knife. Not many knives made in the US anymore. No one wants to pay the price for a knife made in the US. People want USA knives but want to pay the import price.

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

Yes it is! Just like My Cold Steel Recon 1 that I purchased for $22.00, it's made in Taiwan but under Cold Steels license. The black paint on the blade of my Recon 1 has gotten beat up by the change in My pocket but this little bitty tanto blade is wicked sharp with just a few passes over the EZ lap steel.

Some are made in U.S.A. and some are not. The company will actually try to mislead you about it but they are full of it. It is still however one of the better knives that I have owned. It does the jobs that you would demand from a knife of this caliber. I would recommend it for sure, especially considering the price. I actually have a couple that are better than this one but they are more than triple to more than the price of this one. I would get this one for sure unless you want to spend a fortune.

The knife was manufactured by Taylor Brands LLC, and made in China. Although it is really strong and can take a lot of abuse.

The blade is definitely stamped with Taiwan. Maybe it is assembled in the United States but I doubt it.

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...

Its a full tang. I own one and my son owns one.. They are awesome! My son carried his in the field in the Army and beat it to death. You wont break it, he dug holes pounded tent stakes and chopped with it for a year and its still in good shape. I wouldnt worry about being made in Taiwan. Taiwanese quality is great.. They make wonderful knives there.
