piece for Sushi chefs to prepare Sushi in front of the

Old BlackJack Knives in Mint Condition for
Collectors
No Gimmicks... Just
Performance
During the years of
1987 to 1990, Blackjack knives have been designed by
Mike Stewart and produced in Seki, Japan. I was deeply
involved with all Japanese production before they went
to bankruptcy. I have recently found some old Blackjack
knives at the factories, and would like to offer them
for Blackjack collectors. Since original Japanese
production was very small quantity per model, it is hard
to find in the market and is now becoming a rare
collector model. You can get Blackjack information
at some forums, www.KnifeForums.com ,
www.BlackjackKnives.us
etc.

with this production at his factory in Seki, stating with
Kraton handle to Micarta, Cocobolo and Stag handle versions,
and they were the best sellers in Blackjack line. Over 40
years now, Mr. Imai is now an individual custom knifemaker and
is making various famous models replicas such as Loveless,
Horn, Centofante in fine details and precision work. You can
see his craftsmanship at Imai page. I have recently
asked him to make some custom made replicas of Blackjack
Folding Mambas, and he has hand made 3 pcs. each of four
different handles in exactly same size and shape, but with
upgraded ATS-34 blade instead of AUS-8 originally used. This
will be a good addition to your Blackjack
collection!
