This is a great little project knife. Made in Seki, Japan by Kai/Kershaw circa 1980s, it measures 2.25" long closed and features a polished AUS-6 steel blade. The handle is nickel silver with a mother of pearl inlay. This is vintage old stock that was partially completed at the factory and has blemishes. The blade was never sharpened at the factory. The pearl needs shaped and polished on the edges and on the surface areas. The blade locks open but pivot is too tight to allow proper snap when closing. May have corrosion an nickel silver and blade may have light staining that can generally be wiped off. Stock photos; all are in similar condition.
