For anyone that may be concerned about where the Beckers are made, if they say "Made in the USA," they have to be pretty much completely made in the USA, not just assembled in the USA. I found this out on a government website, so I'm pretty sure the Beckers (other than the San Mai Neckers) are made in the USA. How they compare to SY's, I'm not sure. To me, Beckers have seemed more like good quality mass produced knives at affordable prices, not up to the SY standards of toughness, though.
