9/09/10 Up! Just received a customer's feedback:
Thank you for your fully professional delivery. As always I can count on
JKD in terms of correctness of delivery and overall quality. Hiro Machete
is truly a serious gear for extreme travellers and will be very useful
for those who seek best "friend" not only in the jungle but all
kinds of forests. With Hiro machete it is possible to replace a big knife,
an axe and other tools. It is not too heavy, has good balance, good, an
easy to sharpen stainless steel, long handle and is very universal. I will
use it during my canoe, ATV, off road 4x4 and other trips. And Hattori

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.

Horn, Centofante in fine details and precision work. You can

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
