Is it made in America? Is it cast or forged?

As it states in the description, its cast. Its a high quality stainless steel, but because its stainless steel, it won't be a forged item. I've handled several pieces of the M48 line and they definitely feel heavy duty and battle ready.

Anyone know a knife sharpener that would work on the blades for this?

There are persons, maybe fine carpenters, I know they sharpen the pricey drill bits they have, I don’t know how they do, I think it’s by hand, using a round or fine File.

with the clip how does it attach to the boot and is it secure enough to stay on

I don't clip it to my boots. Too big to be comfortable. But it stays very tight on my backpack.
