That’s considerable bigger. I’m hunting for all of them at this point. I bet these make good EDC knives. I like a locking blade on any knife I carry and use. That’s a nice one you have there.

I like the bolster lockSharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 9:45 pm When I set my attention on something to collect I don’t let moss grow under my feet. Here is another Cattaraugus from A.G.Russell’s KCC. This one is a toothpick. Has an interesting bolster lock. Not the bolster lock that moves the entire bolster but part of the bolster is moveable into a locking position on the blade. I like it but it’s a little difficult to move, unlock most liner locks. It also has the mirror polish on the back-springs, which I love. This is a small toothpick at 3” closed OAL. Again impeccable fit and finish.

I think Robeson first came up with the bolster lock toothpick/powder horn, but Charlie would know more about that.

Gary, not that I am aware, but it wouldn’t be the first time I was oblivious to how I sounded, acted or wrote. Just ask my wife.

Think so. If they say Seki or Japan on the tang, then yes for sure.

Thanks Ken and welcome aboard. Glad this thread caught your eye. I’m working on piecing together a bit more history on Moki and Mcusta. From the link you posted I can tell you may be someone who has a collection of Seki knives. Hope you will feel free to post you Knives here, especially if you have some of Master Hattori’s work in your collection.KenHash wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2019 9:18 am sharpnshinyknives,

Thank you but I am no longer actively collecting, having amassed a huge collection of Hattori knives both OEM and own brand. The knives I did own are all used on my website.
Regarding the post above with the Kershaw 1030 and 1050, those are from the first series introduced in 1974. When I met Mr Hattori in Seki several years ago he showed me a 1970 Gerber 5xx series fixed blade which Pete Kershaw had sent him to use as a design basis for his new line of knives. This is before Kai became the owner of Kershaw Knives.

The1050 continues to be made from time to time, as the H-51 standard in VG10 and also as a limited Cowry-X version.

Are you selling any knives from your collection?KenHash wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 5:07 am Thank you but I am no longer actively collecting, having amassed a huge collection of Hattori knives both OEM and own brand.

Sorry, I'm no longer selling as I'm not in the U.S. anymore.
Not sure what you mean by "share my site", as anyone can access it.

Thinking that design is very interesting, very unusual, and it appears well made. Knives of this size don't usually draw my attention, but this one definitely does.
Re: Moki, Mcusta, Al Mar and other Seki Made Knives

This is an interesting pattern, you are seeing more knives this size and style now a days. I have one of similar design and I am surprised at how handy this size blade is for a lot of everyday tasks.
Thanks for sharing.

This is a very well made knife that I bought many years ago(at least 25).Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 1:18 amThis is an interesting pattern, you are seeing more knives this size and style now a days.

I have just recently become aware that there is a new genre of knives called "neo-traditional." These are slip-joint with a more modern style or vibe to them. I believe the following is the only one I have that fits the category. I was going to suggest a thread for showing any of the new style knives, but there may be insufficient numbers as yet to warrant a separate thread. Any thoughts?
