If you go to www.japaneseknifedirect.com M.B. you can view and purchase some of the nicest Japanese built knives you'll ever come across. Also, Mark from Sharpnshinyknives here at AAPK, and Gary from Kennedy Knives also here at AAPK are connoisseurs of fine Japanese knives, so you could have a look in their stores. Both Mark and Gary are a pleasure to do business with. A couple of brands that come to mind are Mcusta and Moki, but there's more. Since you're inquiring I thought I'd show you 2 of my favorites! The 1st is a Mcusta, and the 2nd is a Moki that Mark had custom built in Japan and has copies available for sale in his Sharpnshinyknives store! On the Moki the "run-up" where the tang meets the backspring(see Rick's 2nd picture above)in the open position is virtually seamless and perfectly flush, a sign of a well made knife! The Mcusta doesn't have a spine so no run-up is possible, but you can be sure that if it did it would be as tight and clean as on he Mokis. Be forewarned M.B., Japanese knives are addictive and can get expensive, so be prepared!MechanicalBear wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 12:07 am Ever since I got into knives about half a year ago I have had a fascination with Japanese knives. So I am wondering, what are some good high-end Japanese knife brands you guys know of?

. Also, WOW those are some great looking knives. I am really coming around to the Moki knives. Thank you for the warning by the way haha .I will definitely look into the seller you mentioned.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 8:59 am It was only this year that my interest in Japanese knives quickly developed. This was due to the influence of sharpenshinyknives who is highly knowledgeable concerning Japanese products. He even has Japan made knives of his own design. I think a stop at his AAPK store is mandatory for anyone interested in this realm of knife collecting.
Those two knives are sure nice looking. Especially that abalone onetongueriver wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 12:53 pm Misono. I use this knife most days and have done so for years. The only folder I have from Japan is an abalone tickler by Parker. It would love a new home.
