There was a discussion thread in Reviews and Tests about where Fallkniven knives are manufactured.
It is fairly common knowledge their steel comes from Japan, but there was some question as to whether or not some or all of their knives were also manufactured in Japan.
I e-mailed Fallkniven and received the reply below. Thought I'd post it here in General as well, just to clear the air so to speak.
Hello Kevin,
All knives are being made in Japan by a conglomerate of small, highly specialized craftmen companies. All sheaths are made in Europe or in the USA.
All test and development is being made by our company up here by the Arctic Circle. We also own all tool and molds for making the knives, including all sketches, drawings, technical specifications, logotypes etc. All distribution is made from here.
So, we’re making Swedish knives in Japan.
My best
