Pakistan, and stainless? Rat-tail tang? (although not as critical on a knife), but for three bones, it's not bad... first it's a dagger, so it wouldn't be subjected to the kind of use that make other blades break. Stainless isn't bad on knives, depending on size...and lastly, it's very unlikely that you would ever need to draw/use it. For three bucks I would have bought it too.
