This is a high quality compact American Blade dagger, made in Seki, Japan by Tak Fukuta circa 1980s. It features a smooth bone (bovine) handle, and a chisel grind blade with a urasuki concave back. Comes with brown leather sheath. 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 old stock models were found at his warehouse. Handle material is natural and appearance will vary. This is one of those finds.
