Heres A.G. Russells history about Harry Morseth and Morseth Knives. If not made by Harry, the later ones are at least still made by skilled knifemakers.
MORSETH
Harry Morseth began making knives by hand around 1925 using A-2 tool steel that he shaped, ground and heat-treated himself. Shortly after World War II he made a trip to his father's native Norway and bought a thousand rough ground, laminated blades. Harry finish ground those blades and turned them into handmade knives. Those blades were heat-treated to 60+ Rc. and they held an edge to such a remarkable degree that Harry was able to build a reputation that kept he and his wife (she laced the sheaths) busy until their deaths in old age. Knives made using the Morseth® Laminated Steel, including those made in the A. G. Russell™ shop, sell in the secondary market today at high prices. They are still in demand. All Morseth knives currently for sale on this website were either made in the A.G. Russell Shop, or by Bob Dozier in his shop.

As for the Hatori, which I just realize you're probably talking about, they are hand ground and highly regarded by collectors.
