Pretty sure Klein has always outsourced knives. Klein has sold electrician's knives for since at least the 1930's. The TL-29 design dates from the late teens of that century. Klein has always specialized in electrician's tools and a knife is necessary for that trade.
Some of Klein's "modern" lockback knives were made in Japan starting in ~mid 80's. Their traditional electrician's knives were always made in the USA until possibly recently. Once Camillus closed in 2007, finding a US source became a challenging proposition. Utica is said to have made them in the USA for the last few years. Not sure about today.
