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 Higonokami set is a must for knife collectors, so I will make my own HIGONOKAMI as well. From Marcin Morawski, Poland

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.
