Saji TS-135 "Samurai
Chef"
As you see
from the JCK shop, Master Saji
has started making some traditional kitchen knives. We thought
about combining his traditional Katana handle and Saya with
the kitchen knife blade. Here are the result for Samurai Chef
Knives. Master Saji has made only 1 pc. each to see the actual
demand. This will be a nice demonstration and convesation
piece for Sushi chefs to prepare Sushi in front of the
guests.

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.
