There is a number, maybe you should give them a call. Seem like they are made in the USA.

went to their site and bought a new whetstone. great prices. their knives are very inexpensive to be made in the U.S.A. as cheap as they are i'd try one instead of chinese.

I thought about it too Jonet!
I wonder if the pocket knifes are made there?...or say Bear & Son makes them for them.
Looks like they do make some fine Arkansas honing stones though. And you can't get any more American than the three 55 gallon red drums & shed out back! (Just hit the link that says about us.)

their claim is they have the knives blanked in the u.s.a. and finish them there. maybe bear and son?

Bear & Son was just a guess cause it is close. Although the single pin points to Bear to me.
I think that "The Real McCoy" is a great name for a knife....wish it was bone though. I am thinking about getting the "McCoy Classic" Zebra wood. Cant beat "The McCoy Stag" though.
I did see where they said that that Novelty Truck knife was made outside the US.

For all the pictures they show, I just see a rock quarry, there are 3 or 4 around here just like that. I don't see any manyfacturing tools or equipment, so do they send everything over seas to be finished or what? Black Novaculite is hard to find around Arkansas in large sizes, so these guys seem to be able to find it. Are these stones mined and finished in the USA or is it sent out. There are very heavy duty OSHA mandates for working with this due to silica content. Show me some manufacturing equipment. This stuff was also use to nap spear heads thousands of years ago.

hukk, this is from their site.
McCoy Knife products are made 100% in the USA with the exception of the novelty trucker's knife. McCoy knives are designed, tooled, blanked and hand finished to our specifications. All blades are made from 440 high carbon rust resistant steel. The handle materials are selected to insure beauty, strength and durability.

Thanks, I kept looking in all the wrong places. I would like to see some manufacturing equipment though. Maybe because I spent so much time repairing it.
