Where are the Cold Steel SK-5 knives made?

Anyone know?

Thanks,

According to the few online shops that list country of origin, the SK-5 stuff is being produced in China.

But is the quality good, withstanding origin, just asking.

I looked at a Laredo Bowie at knife store recently, hoping it was the "old stock" of Carbon V. While it's not the quality of the old, American-made Carbon V models, the SK5 is of very good quality. It is a product of the Peoples Republic of China, and, while it might not be the same, remember the price point of the new model is much, much lower. All in all, a decent trade off.

I do wish the blade still said America.

God bless you, America, and our men and women overseas.

I have an original Carbon V Recon Scout and also a new SK-5 version. Hard to tell the difference honestly from a cosmetic aspect, perfect grind lines and razor sharp. The coating may be different but looks almost identical. I plan on abusing the SK-5 piece and the low price made it very attractive.

A. G. Russel web site says the knife is made in China and the Sheath is made in Germany.

Made in China or not, that SK-5 is great stuff.:thumbup:

I thought that the original style Bushman was made somewhere else. I was excited when the Bushman Bowie came out and ordered it for my son and the quality was not what it was on my original Bushman.
