Is the blade traditional (tip fine work, middle chopping, extra fine work near handle?

The knife will come uniformly sharp, end to end. You can sharpen the tip and the area near the handle to be more acute. Thats what I do with all machetes and large choppers. I always spend about 2 hours doing that to a new blade.Shea, the areas mentioned need to be sharper than the chopping area so that fine carving and cutting can be done. Read up on how native people use their knives.

Does anyone know where this knife is made specifically when it is imported?

The blade, handle, and sheath display nothing as to country of manufacture. On the back of the box, in small letters, it says "Product of China," with "Printed in China" under that. Don't know if that is about the machete or the box. The quality of the machete and sheath is quite good. It has been used for brush clearing, and so far has performed admirably. There are some good heavy duty testing videos on YouTube which are worth the watch if you are considering purchasing one.

is it similar steel to cold steel blades?

That's hard to say since cold steel uses a lot of different types of steels in their knife making; including 1055 High carbons.The CRKT uses 65Mn steel which is probably equivalent to 1065 high carbon steel. Hope that helps.

What's the difference between this and the cheaper k920kkpc (seems to be a prime member exclusive)?

this is a great knife and I clear my ditch three times a year. the grip is very good!
