[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4353343, member: 46104"] That knife was a hot item back in the 1970s, immensely popular as a boot knife, sold under several brands, even though a diver. It was made by Hattori at the time. Hattori still makes high grade knives, such as Fallkniven, and did the Cold Steel San Mai fixed blades, before everybody went to Taiwan and China, where I suspect the modern Tekna now from. You can still periodically get the Hattori, but are going to pay $300 for that knife. PS- they say the blade from Italy now....of course, the Italian (or German or etc) blade blank may come from anywhere, in today's modern style commerce. PPS- the blade execution was excellent, but, intentionally lower carbon stainless to better resist rust in salt water. [/QUOTE]
