TJ. It is spectacular. I have looked at other knives in white steel before and fall in love w/ everyone of them.
Here is my last Christmas knife. This one was posted early in this thread by someone else. It’s an A.G. Russell pinched peanut in mammoth ivory. I bought this from A.G. Russell’s website. I am thinking seriously about carrying this one. So far I am carrying it in a pouch to protect it. I figure that since I paid full retail there isn’t much room for this to appreciate, so why not? These are not cheap for such a little knife. I really like the angle and cut of the blades. This small wharncliffe blade is so sharp that the point is almost like a needle. Found that out the hard way. And, of course, as you can see from the blade/spring meeting point, this one has the typical high tolerances of any Seki made knife with no gap between the blade and spring.
The mammoth ivory has a mottled appearance, w/out that you wouldn’t be able to tell this from elephant ivory, they did a remarkable job on the handles.

With these beautiful knives you keep posting Mark, I am beginning to think maybe I should go back to work just so I can afford to acquire some of these gems like you. Don't think I will but you are pushing me closer and closer to the edge. Congratulations on your Mammoth. The fit of the Seki knives, the tolerances, are just great.

QS, Thank you. It’s been a great birthday/holiday having our girl from Thailand here with us. Since she was orphaned at 13, she missed a lot of family time during the holidays. So childlike in her enjoyment of the holidays. Here is a picture of her on Christmas morning. She loved the necklace I bought for her. Feel very blessed this year to be able to share this season w/ this precious girl.

Here are all 7 of the MC-3 series knives from Mcusta in their display board. I like the deep red color for these. So impressed w/ these Mcusta’s. Well made and an incredible amount of craftsmanship went into each one. They look really nice all toghether.

Anyone get any Moki, Mcusta, Al Mar or other Seki made knives for Christmas? Let’s see them.

They call that Kronos don’t they? Or am I thinking about another one that they have? That’s one of my favorites. It’s beauty.

Gary, Do you have any of the annual limited edition knives made by Master Hatori? I see on JKD website that he has issued an annual knife since 2003. Wonder what those go for and availability? Not trying to purchase at this time, just lining up for the future.

kennedy knives · Post by **kennedy knives** » Mon Jan 14, 2019 12:45 pm

No Mark Don't have any .

Sharpnshinyknives · Post by **Sharpnshinyknives** » Sat Jan 19, 2019 9:47 pm

I dug a little deeper on the JKD site and found this interesting history of Ichiro Hattori. There is also information on Bob Lum designed B&T knives, SOG and many other knives that have links to Seki. Find it here http://hattoricollector.com/ .
Also this photo goes w/ this last years limited edition Hattori annual knife. This one is still showing as available. This is one that’s on my wish list.
Master Hattori is in his 80’s and won’t be making knives forever. These annual limited edition knives would be an incredible collection to have.

Don't know much about these but it's the first to pass thru these hands...

Scott, Nice to see you posting on this thread. I don’t know much about that Al Mar but I am sure Gary Kennedy does. You can’t find an Al Mar that isn’t a nice knife. They make some of the best.
I saw that one on your eBay site the other day and was admiring it then. It’s tempting.

Thought I would add a little info on early Tang Stamps for AL-Mar Earliest one is the USA then the Seki Japan Then they started putting Seki Japan on rear of blades Then they took off Seki .
