They are Chineese made, I have the Yellow and White Pearl Toothpicks. The white Pearl is not very nice kinda has a dull finish, but the yellow Pearl is a very nice looking knife. Also have one in Stag. They had these in an e-mail special about 5 weeks ago for less than $10.00 a piece. My wife is carrying one of the Yellow Pearl ones in her purse. She really likes it alot.
