 Old BlackJack Knives in Mint Condition for Collectors 

 

 No   Gimmicks... Just Performancebj.jpg

 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.

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.
