The one without the logo is the one I have and sure appears it's made here. No tags anywhere on the product or packaging to indicate made in China and the step blocks have "USA" cast into them. They are the cheapest because they sell 10x the volume of that set than any others. The next size up has the 1" thick step blocks, mine are 3/4". The rack for the wider blocks is sheet metal, mine is a sturdy plastic.
I will look over the packaging when I get to the shop and report back. That said, there is NO QUESTION that the quality of everything is far better than the Chinese made set I also have.
BTW, in going through the pages of that KBC on-line catalog I see they have Te-Co T-bolts. I'm going to order up four T-bolts & flange nuts so I can dedicate those to fastening the vise(s) to the table and still have the full set available for other setups. It's good stuff and for the $25 it saves having the shortest studs and a couple of nuts from the set always missing.
