Seems like it should be, but what are the chances?

I'm guessing not USA Made, and sometimes the Country Of Origin is only maked on the box. But, for only $60 . . .

Nothing Bradford Exchange or Sauer offer for sale in all the "mens'" magazines (watches, knives, etc., etc.) are made in the United States.

Surely made in China

Yeah, not made in the USA at that price.

The picture of the pile side with the wooden covers reminds me of knives made in Pakistan.

Not a chance. I've seen a number of very similar knives made in China. The covers are barely glued, I've seen them laying in the bottom of the display cases.

These knives remind me of the Franklin Mint Harley Davidson Series. I bought the first one and quickly cancelled the series. They were definitely made in China and were not very good quality.

There are 2 of that series I now regret not buying.

I thought of that series when I saw those too.

That second picture makes it look like the Eagle is vomiting a knife blade. I'll never be able to unsee that now. ::paranoid::

I have that model myself. Given to me by a friend who was collecting them at the time.

I just saw them both on "The Bay", I bought them both: :shock: At least they will go with the FM diecast bikes. :oops:

Nice score! Congratulations!

I’ve always considered mine to be of pretty good quality. Heavy for its size and the blade has great snap in both directions. Seems well constructed too.

Mine seems to be built for a lefty but I suppose they are all that way. Nail nick is on the pile side.

I like mine a lot but of course, I don’t use it.
