I can't seem to see where these are made . . . are they made in Cold Steel, Ohio or is this just another non-US manufacturer that Drop is hiding the provenance of?

seedeeveeCold Steel makes about 2 knives in the US, and when it's one of those knives they make sure you know all about it being Made in the US. Their stuff comes from around the globe.
This one, like a lot of their work, is from Taiwan.

NarqI mean, if I were their attorney, I'd be like 'dude, maybe before we start suing people we should take down all those videos we have promoting voluntary manslaughter and criminal damage because judges and juries kinda don't always groove to that shit'
but the thing is, I would not be their attorney. I like well made stuff and Cold Steel generally is well made, so I give some slack. But you get the sense that these guys have decided that their main market consists of people who get excited at the thought of having the chance to kill an intruder. Being their attorney has gotta be like being the PR guy for George Zimmerman.
Besides I get that trademark law is use it or lose it and companies have to have lawyers protecting them, but the whole 'San Mai' trademark thing is impossible to respect.
