I note the implication of being stamped 'Knipex Germany' and Made in Germany' too. The difference has to suggest they are trying to fudge it.
So one has to assume that by omission of either 'Knipex Germany' or Made in Germany', the 97 51 10 is NOT made in Germany.
So Knipex I can no longer trust. Sad.
sadly that's what happens when a company wants to offer a "complete" range of products, they shop around and add a hefty margin on an, usually, average product just for sticking their brand on it and/or to put it in a branded cardboard box, like the Jokari stuff that they resell too...
either that or they buy another brand that already has the know-how and the patents, like Würth with Felo and Gedore did with Rahsol and others.
if the product works fine like their other in-house made tools, you'll only have to swallow the sticker shock!

edit: was sure to have seen that one before:
since i should still own the same one without branding somewhere in my "past activity" toolboxes. worked well for what i remember but it's been a few years i haven't done son CAT5 or 6 cabling...

Hmmm...a good question... Newer cars and stuff are all metric. Some bicycle stuff are imperial. But if it wasn´t for my old Range Rover, I could do just fine with metric. But what´s the problem? You can never have too many tools
