Kanetsune produced the exquisite "King of Dark" dagger in Seki, Japan circa 1980s under the North Man brand name and it was made by Toshi Fukuta, the brother of Tak Fukuta.. The elegantly designed and sturdy blade is 0.176" thick x 8.8" long and it measures 13.8" long overall. The dagger features filework on the stainless steel guard and a King of Hearts crest in the handle. The Japanese presentation is truly stunning, with the knife and decorated sheath stored in a tube wrapped in cloth and in the original box.
