Made in China. Says Japanese stainless steel. .but imported to China first. Not on the list I see. My fault for not checking elsewhere first. See photo of packaging.

Compact and sharp cutting edge. Favorite part is the unique nail pusher tool! The best pliers and tying tool you can buy. Please note that nail knots require practice!
