Are these knives made in Germany or are they made in China?

Interesting question...I assumed they were made in Germany but I called Wusthof and was told the stainless steel knives are made in China. All the others in Germany.

China.. No Henckels International knives are made in Germany but that is why this whole set is cheaper than just one German made knife..

I believe Germany. I have a few of these knives and they are all great. The funny thing is that some of the cheaper ones they make are better. I have 2 serrated utility knives in the kitchen, about 7-8 inches long, I use them for EVERYTHING. I've have them for about 10 years and never have to sharpen them. They work on bread, tomatoes(slice real thin), and just are troopers. Don't put in dishwasher, hand wash and dry right away to preserve blade.

I'm not sure. There is no mention of where it was made on the knife itself. The packaging is long gone. I'd be pretty surprised if they were made in the USA. Regardless, they are great knives! I love them.

It does't say on the package or the bits. I just says "Made in Germany". I haven't used them yet but they look like they will work, seem sharp.

Yes, this knife is made in Germany just like you'd find at a specialty cooking store. It's great on small items with tough skins, like apples and tomatoes. I'm confused why people said Spain. Mine did not. It's certaiy not flimsy. I use it all the time and love it.

They're not made in Germany. I'm not sure of they're made in Korea or elsewhere.

I always believed they were made in Switzerland, like the Swiss army knife, another quality tool. Mine have been superb but are overdue for cleaning and maintenance. I need to send them to a reputable person and do without them for a few days, which will be painful.

Yes, they are made in China, the steel is 7Cr17Mov, which is the Chinese equivalent to AISI 440A One of the better Chinese Steels, but remember, this isn't a $400 knife, it's a $20 knife.

I don't know the answer to those questions. I do know that I have stainless steel knives that are made in Germany that are of a much higher quality because they are made better, feel better in your hand (more substantial and easier to manage), that these particular knives. So I won't be throwing my old knives out any time soon. I'm keeping the Komachi knives because they were a gift.

They are made in China. However, they are extremely well built and quality control with spyderco is excellent

The original group of knives were made in USA and had different steel than the current batch. The ones being sold now are china made with China steel.

No it is made in China but don't let that scare you, it's a damn fine knife, I have 2.

My knives say made in Germany. But before you get this set, consider the Vitrinox (think Swiss Army Knife) kitchen knives as recommended by Americas Test Kitchen; I recently bought the 8" model, and like it much more than the Henckels thick-blade knife.

Blade says "Made in Austria" also, I read somewhere that the steel is "spring steel". I have owned 2 of these knives and they are a great value for the money.
