This is a very well designed hunting knife produced in Seki, Japan circa 1980s for Cam III by Tak Fukuta. The Japanese company Mitsuboshi worked with the US company, Cam III, to find a maker in Seki to produce the knife and settled on Tak Fukuta. It is similar to the Rigid design that was also produced by Fukuta. It features a mirror polished AUS-8 stainless steel blade and micarta handle. It has a tapered tang with red spacers and has nickel silver bolsters. Serial number 089/200. The presentation is stunning and is one of the most elegantly designed hunting knives produced in Seki during the period.

CAM III is a short form of Charles Arthur Mahon III, who produced high quality knives in Japan and sold them through JC Penney stores. When the chain no longer offered a sporting goods section, he continued to retail the remaining knives in his store in Vacaville, California.

Tak Fukuta was the first Japanese member of the American Knife Maker's Guild, and apprentice to Bob Loveless. He hand crafted fine quality knives that impressed his mentor. Over the years, his factory in Seki, Japan also produced knives for Parker, Valor, Gutmann, Explorer, Frost, and Browning among others.
