"A little information from the manufacturer:
We buy the handle in China, the blade in Taiwan and assemble them here in the USA. D2 steel is one of the most outstanding knife steels available today. It is a high carbon, high chrome tool steel which is often used for the steel cutting dies in tool and die shops. With 1.5% Carbon, 1% Molybdenum, 12% Chrome, and 1% Vanadium, this air hardening steel (at 60-61HRC) has the ability to take a razor edge, and hold it!"
