This is a high quality Browning hunting knife made by Tak Fukuta in the late 1990s-early 2000s. The blade is AUS-8 with a perfect design for skinning and has a large guthook, the handle is sturdy black rubber. 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. After his passing, several vintage unused old stock models were found at his warehouse. This knife is one of these rare finds.
