I do not know about Eskimo blades but since 2006 or 2007 Mora blades sold with the auger are made in China. In fact the hole auger is made there ,look for made in Sweden on packaging also stamped on blades when buying replacements. If you use the search feature you will find a few threads on the topic of Strike Master auger blades. Just a side note while shopping at my local Gander Mountain last month look at both Strike Master Hand models Mora's still Chinese made Lazer's made in Sweden.
