Z, the only Kershaw I have is a U.S. made Leek and I like it a lot. The Knivesplus web site says the Officer Ranch and D.W.O. models are imported and you're right, if the price is under about $40 it's time to start digging. Most of the time, you'll find the under $40 knives are made off-shore. (and occasionally an over $40 knife :shock: )

Go to there web site????I bought there Ken Onion SCALLION when I got back in to knives I like it alot BUT I can't get into the whole Kershaw line just seems to me it's more of the same wish they had more traditional slipjoints,less oversea products.You just never know where there product is made.Bring 'em back HOME USA.

I can't really argue with you much about them all being the same but then again Kershaw is almost all about tacticals and I'm not. They are however, very up front about where their knives are made. They even have a Made in USA link on their web site that leads you to all the knives they make in America.

Or check their 2011 catalog. The knives made in the USA are marked as such.

Thanks jerry, i did think they seemed cheap so probably made in china, is this a old model that i might be able to pick up a older U.S made one ? i did find some pics with green scales a bit like on some of the puma hunters like the general model, i prefer older knives ,

i like there hunters but not keen on some of there other models, :?
