Nick ,it’s basically the same ,except some milling of the liners from the factory. Not sure there was all that many made compared to the 72 .
Take care down there ::tu::

It was considered and also listed in the Camillus Catalogs as The Deluxe Carpenters Whittler, and as JP said, had the milled or what some called jibbed edges on the liners. I think the pattern 80 was introduced sometime around 1954 and stopped around the early '70's.

One thing for sure, there's not a ton of them around. Besides the milling of the liners, it also has nickle Silver liners instead of brass. It was considered a deluxe 72.

Arriving today is the "Encounter" designed by Bob Lum and executed by one of the master smiths of Seki Cut, Master Haru.

The blade is 5" of ATS 34. Handle is G10, also 5" in length. Sharp? Most definitely. Beautifully balanced. Feels like part of one's hand. I feel confident that Mr. Lum was very pleased with the execution of his pattern.

Beautiful piece of cutlery art, Garry. Graceful elegance at its finest. Great score.

Thank you Q. I am currently kind of hooked on Japanese knives. I am amazed at the relatively low cost for knives made by hand with such skill.

Very nice Garry, I have a Bob Lum Encounter folder, which I posted in the “other Seki made” thread. It’s an impressive knife. Very solid and well executed just like this one. Congrats. Japanese knives are addictive.
