Yes it is. Almost every knife made with 8Cr13MoV is made in China.

If you want knive made from better quality steel (for example 14C28N) you have to pay more.

Made in USA Kershaw Blur Tanto with similar blade is for $70 on Amazon.

Kershaw leek $35 easy to find every day. Made in USA, no tanto crap, much better Swedish steel vs aliexpress-type Chinese steel.

This knife just looks like a Kershaw Blur knockoff. Don't reward Kershaw for trying to create a knockoff of their own USA-made lines.

If you want a cheap beater, just get a ganzo or ontario rat.

Tough little work knife. Its well built and can definitely take a beating. The blade steel is pretty mediocre but what do you expect at this price. Good thing about 8cr13mov is it sharpens up real easy. Drag it over a honing steel(like you have with kitchen knives) a few times we've it's good to go.

I believe only the S30V version of the Blur is made in USA. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015ZX...Z7DDVB2AAA

You can get a USA made Leek for $39 shipped, on eBay. You must realize that the black version has become harder to get and is now selling for a premium... but, his basic point is still true, if you really want a high quality USA made Kershaw Leek Speedsafe knife, you can easily get one in numerous colors (outside of black) for less than $40 or slightly more than $40.

There are quite a few differences between the two, but I think what you'll notice first is blade size and handle material. The difference between a 3" and a 2.25" blade is much bigger than you might think. At the same time, I think the smaller blade in this comparison has a much more useful shape. Handle material (textured plastic vs stainless) is going to feel way different. Is grip more important to you?

I think that at the end of the day, when you're comparing two $30 knives, you should just buy both. 😂
