   Actually I prefer Kershaw.   
      
   The solution to your dilemma is to purchase it and if it is not   
   satisfactory, return it.  You can look up the steel typically on the   
   internet.   
      
   They are almost certainly made in China but the Chinese can   
   manufacture a quality product if their customer wants them to.
