Nope, says USA right on the tang. The import ones have a lighter washed out color in the handles. With box and paperwork too, that's a good 'un.

Thanks - the box had me worried.
Re: Is this knife an import?
Yes! As Paul says, it's a nice 194OT, made in the USA, Schrade Old Timer.

Welcome to AAPK. Questions are always appreciated and the answers help others as well as the person asking the question.
You do have to be very careful when buying a "Schrade". There are some Schrade & Schrade-Walden branded knives that were made in USA but after Schrade closed in 2004. These knives and packaging are very close copies of original Schrade USA.

Re: Is this knife an import?
I don't think I'd want to judge any Schrade I bought off Ebay by what box it came in...or for that matter, believe it's a Schrade knife just because the box says so.
I have a hard time trusting someone who doesn't like dogs...but if my dog doesn't like someone, I'll trust that.

Re: Is this knife an import?
I used to have 2 of these 194OT knives with SC503 Scrimshaw stainless blades on them. One in the box from a hardware store, in 2006. The other off of ebay with no box. I think of them as End of Days knives when Schrade was using up parts and selling everything they could right before the end. Oh, and I didn't pay that price. At the time I was asking about Schrade knives in all the little hardware stores to find leftover knives. This little mom and pop store is in a very small town in the Sierra mountains. What they had left was in a box on a shelf behind the counter. We negotiated a lower 'closeout' price. Wish I still had them.
Re: Is this knife an import?
This knife was just on the bay advertised as a ...Schrade + USA LTD. Genuine Bone Wild Ducks Scrimshawed Barlow Knife. I sent an Email asking what the tang stamp was but they closed the auction and took an offer. I don't know what it was but it sure didn't come in that box.
