Sabre 678. Really love the look of this one, almost translucent.

Curious about my grandfather's knife.

Re: Japanese "Sabre" Brand Knives
Recently, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it did turn out to be a keeper and it became the latest example to be added to my general, "foreign born", pocket knife accumulation. It is a Sabre 676, two blades, one tang stamp, 3 1/4" closed, one spring, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "Sabre (over) STAINLESS (over) JAPAN (over) 676" The shield is missing. The main blade has a SOFT half stop. The main blade does have a GOOD opening snap and a SOFT closing snap. The secondary blade also has a SOFT half stop. The secondary blade does have an OK opening snap and NO closing snap.Overall, this pocket knife is in GOOD condition. It did need a little bit of a cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: Japanese "Sabre" Brand Knives
The first “good” knife I purchased in the late 60s or early 70s was a Japanese Sabre serpentine jack. It was my daily carry before EDC was a thing. Mid to late 70s it was lost, or I think stolen by a contractor who was remodeling a bathroom. After I started searching pocket knives on eBay, I found an identical knife that I had to purchase. Of course, that led to searching for more serpentine jack knives. I need to not be sentimental about my old knives.

That's a cool HOK, G-351, and nothing wrong with being sentimental about what you consider a treasure.
