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! 8)WIN_20210507_19_31_21_Pro.jpgWIN_20210507_19_31_07_Pro.jpgWIN_20210507_19_31_56_Pro.jpgWIN_20210507_19_31_35_Pro.jpg
Thank you, Marco, I will definitely look into the brands you mentioned, the sellers you mentioned and the site you linked :D. Also, WOW ::woot:: those are some great looking knives. I am really coming around to the Moki knives. Thank you for the warning by the way haha :D.
Bear! Please take note that I changed the link I gave you from www.japaneseKNIVESdirect.com , to www.japaneseKNIFEdirect.com , sorry, I had it wrong! 8)
It's fine Marco :).
