unfortunatly many manufactures are using chinese labor to make a good product. These companies, like MTech USA, Smith & Wesson, many Gerbers and a good number of Bucks to name a few, design the knife and pick the material. Doing this keeps there price down, but they don't necesarily pass that to you. what you get is a decent product, made in china.
I don't like that any more than most, but its a fact of life. if you shop at wal-mart, target, or any other chain store youre buying chinese or some such manufactured good.

I've got a good knife made in the USA. I picked up a 14" [ tip to tang] blade from a blacksmith at the Fort Bridger rondevous, and made the rest myself. Elkhorn handle with an oak 'knob' at the end. working on the sheath now. [ Still not as nice as my kabar].
