Here is a quote from their FAQ page on their website:

Are your products made in the USA?

YES. Many people are not aware that Occidental is a stickler for detail and that we insist on American made raw materials (leather, threads, rivets, etc.) and labor. Our only manufacturing facility and our R & D Studio are currently located in Sonoma County, CA.

Tough crowd for good reason.

There is at least one tool brand that markets their products in a similar manner, but for deceptive purposes - they advertise a product as being "forged out of American steel." I contacted the company, and they confirmed that the products are now manufactured elsewhere and imported.

There are quite a few companies will try to twist things in a way that their claims are not quite outright lies, but they come dangerously close.

It's a conspiracy!!!! :)

These guys use USA made resources and then manufacture their products right here in the USA... So, you guys can put your picket signs down.
