Spyderco

Q: Where is the Ikuchi made?

The number of Spydercos I own are in the double digits, I'm not going to go count them and from years of enjoying Spyderco knives I find the Taichung knives are the best. Seki City Japan second and USA third. Though the Golden USA quality has gone up in the last year or so. PS: I live in Colorado about a hundred miles from the Golden factory. One consistent area of superiority in the first two makers is the attention to detail of the edge grind and sharpness; always much better than the USA. See my review of this knife if they find time to get it posted.

Q: is this knife "made in the usa"?

The knife is actually made in Taichung, Taiwan but the quality is equal to any other Spyderco. The Taichung factory does excellent work. My favorite Spyderco is the PM2 that is USA made, but the qualities are equal in my opinion.
