Are these still made in Finland (as of 6/3/2014)? Anyone get Chinese made?

I can't say for Amazon, because the last pair I got was a few years ago. Had to give them to my grandmother so I got another from Jo-Ann (a retail chain sewing and craft store) within the past year. All the ones they had on the rack were made in Finland. So I believe Fiskars could be keeping this model Finland-made, to my great relief. Let's hope they keep it that way! I love these scissors--they're small so keep that in mind, but you can do intricate cutting and they're perfectly sharp all the way to the tip.

I just confirmed with a Great Northern sales rep that all of their products are manufactured in China. The listing said some made in USA and some imported, so I wanted clarification.

As with other reviews, mine says made in Finland, no mention of China. I imagine it might be engineered in Finland, perhaps the handle (a pretty damn indestructible plastic from my experience) or the sheath manufactured in China and then the entire axe is manufactured in Finland. This may upset some people, but there are few things we now use which are made in a single country from start to finish. Bottom line, if you want a great hatchet for a great price, buy this.

Yes, they are made in China, but were designed engineered in the USA. I was disappointed that they were made in China, but they are well made. This is my second pair....bought first one at the Red Wing store and was glad to find the second pair on Amazon.

They are made in Thailand with a whole lot more attention to quality than those made in China. The ones I got from Amazon had only been manufactured just weeks before I got them.

Mine were made in Switzerland, but they were used, so can't verify if they still are.

I received mine today (March 2, 2015) and it is made in Thailand. I was hoping they were still made in Japan.

I bought mine here on Amazon a couple of months ago and they are clearly made in Sweden. Hope this helps

The early ones were made in the US. I think that since they became popular they have been mass produced in china. It is very likely anything you get now would be made in china. My original from 2011 was US made, but when trying to replace in in 2013 I got 3 and returned 3 from china.

They are made in Taiwan for Norpro. By the way mine have been sitting new in the box on a shelf and they already have rust spots on them. I have never used them or cleaned them.

Great question....I looked it up and they are made in China. Bummer about that but they do work great!

No they are made in Taiwan. However, I can assure you they are good quality and worth the money.

The US version is made in china, while the international is still made in finland. Personally, I prefer the finland version. It does not make sense to pay $549 for a china made phone. The only downside about buying the finland (international version, is that the warranty is invalid in the US. With that being said, I still prefer the finland made phone.

Hello Allan, honestly I purchased them for my 4 year old but I didnt see it came from China until it was delivered. So I am not sure I am going to try and contact the seller. If you find any information can you please email me at Elviravx@aol.com for now I havent given them to my son.

I just picked up one of these from Staples after flipping through the 20 or so they had on the shelf looking for one made in Japan but every single one of them said "made in China" on the back. For $1.99 w/coupon, I'm not going to be picky but it's a shame even the Japanese companies are moving production to China. The same thing also happened to the Pentel Energize mech. pencil: the old ones were made in Japan but all the new ones are made in China.
