   Just because it says USA on the knife blade, that does not mean that it is made here. I have a knife that is made by the Daniel Boone Knife Company that is the same way, but after some research, it is Chinese made. I also find it odd that you cannot find the company on the internet. If it was made here in the USA, I would also think that would be all over the packaging and it would advertised as such. Looks like a decent knife either way though!

        I would ask the seller where they got this information. I would be real interested in knowing myself. Amazon actually sells these and I just may buy one myself!

For $10 more you can get a Kershaw Cryo 2 and those are TOP quality IMO.

Seems to be Chinese made: http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=40785

I confirmed with the seller that it is indeed Chinese built contrary to the listing. It is a pretty decent knife especially for what I paid. I did have to adjust the pivot to center the blade and sharpen it as it arrived pretty dull.
