This is a scarce vintage knife from the early career of Hattori in Seki, Japan, made in the early 1970s for Kenward. It has an interesting story. For many years now the Kenward Galloway origins lay in obscurity. This is largely due to the silver Blackjack box that they came in. So people rightly assumed that Blackjack was involved somehow in making them. But this is not the case. The Galloway predates Blackjack by about 15 years. It was made by Hattori in the early 1970s for Kenward, the main exporter of knives from Seki which later became Kencrest. It features a hefty 5/32" thick x 3.18" long AUS-8 blade (back in those days they marked it 440Hi-Stainless for lack of knowing what to call it) and stainless guard with Rosewood handle and has a sturdy leather sheath (slightly shrunken from age). They were not produced for very long and many lay in the manufacturer's warehouse for years, with a few coming to the USA over the decades being exported from Japan in a conveniently sized Blackjack box, hence the confusion. We are now offering the last of the Galloway, recently found in the original manufacturer warehouse and it comes in the "original" misleading Blackjack box..
