I just ran across a Sabre Ireland on eBay this morning and was skeptical so I'm glad I saw this post, because (with no facts to back it up of course) I had it set in my mind they were all made in Japan. Thanks for the research Dale.

Another day dawns in the Great Midwest and already I've learned something at AAPK, The Educational Knife Forum.

Before I place this knife on eBay, is there anyone who would like to trade or purchase it?

Way to go OP.

Japanese Sabres have great memories for me. They were the first knives I bought with money I'd earned as a kid. There was a spinner display in the local hardware store and I would go in and consider what had the best return on my meager funds. The yellow-handled fish knife was the first one I bought and many a fish went under that knife.

Scott you did a good job on the fluff and buff. I bet your boys won't criticize it. A job well done is still a job well done and you cleaned that one very well.
