New! Parker Cutlery "Excalibur" Custom Made by Mr. Mamoru Katoh in 1969 
 
 
 
 
 

Mr. Mamoru Katoh "Excalibur" 3-Bladed Canoe Pattern custom made for Parker Cutlery
  Mr. Mamoru Katoh has been running a small knife factory here in Seki city for over 65 years, producing high quality Pocket knives. Unfortunately, he has passed away a few years ago at the age of 85. Recently, his daughter got rid of the factory, and this is one of the factory founds. We have found 33 pcs. of this fancy Canoe pattern 3-bladed Pocket knife custom made by Mr. Katoh in 1969 for Parker Cutlery. It has a mirror polished large 3" drop point blade, 2" medium sheepfoot blade and 1-1/2" small drop point blade. (sorry, I'm not sure of the blades material, but it would be AUS-6), Each blade is beautifully file-worked on the back, 4-1/2" Canoe Pattern Solid Nickel Silver handle with inlays of Mother of Pearl or Camelbone, The liner is also made of Nickel Silver, and the two backspring bars are stainless steel with file work. I don't know how many knives he has made for Parker Cutlery at that time, but all knives have been made with Mother of Pearl handles. We have inspected and re-polished all 33 knives, and replaced some cracked MOP with Camelbones. We have prepared a fancy blue velvet gift/display box with whilte silk inside imprinted in gold with his Kanji name and "1969, 1 of 33". This will be a memorial piece of Mr. Mamoru Katoh.

AUS-6 blades in 3.5mm thick, 80, 55 & 40mm blades, 117 closed, 195mm open, Weight 210g

New!  HIRO Original Bushman's Machetes

HIR
O
  Bushman's Machete   Since introducing HIRO Machete Jungle Knife (shown below), we have instantly sold out all the knives in stock at Hiro factory for it's durability and functions you can depend on in any hard situaions. Due to the large minimum in new production, we had to give up the new production. However, we are still receiving many inquiries and requests to make it available again. We are looking at the possibility of any smaller minimum production, even at a bit higher price, and hoping this will happen some times in 2012

Meanwhile, we would like to offer HIRO Bushman's Machete from same maker and heavy duty quality. The blade is made of VG-2 core edge forge clad (San Mai) with blakened and Tsuchime hammered stainless steel, Full tang and hand contoured beautiful Cocobolo wood handle with brass tubular pins and lanyard hole on end. Comes with double stitched custom Leather sheath.

4/07/12 Up! Just received a good feedback from our repeat customer, Marcin Morawski, Poland

Dear Koki and Jemmy,

As usual - thank you very much for 200% professional service. Hiro Bushman Machete is impressive knives that looks and works and gives a trust much, much, much better than one could expect from a photograph that already is impressive. Together with some Kiku's (like Yoroi Toshi, Full Contact Agressive) and Takeshi Saji Musashi (especially those build to order with stag handle) Hiro BM is on the top of my fixed knives heavy category collection. Hiro BM is  a very "smart" fellow. Everyone knows that one can cut and chop everything with it. On the other side: the handle with special "half ring" between handle and blade allows to use it for very precise jobs, just like a small knife.  Very interesting piece of steel. My full recomendation. 

Happy Eastern

Best regards,
Marcin Morawski

 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.

Mr. Seizo Imai was involved 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!
