Each year we are offered a number of handsome Walker-lock knives by makers from Seki City, Japan. We chose the best of them to offer you. This particular knife is being sold in Japan so we are not required to order huge numbers or pay for expensive tooling. Therefore, we can hold the price down. The slim 3-1/4" blade is made of VG-10 at 59-61 Rc., a top steel that really holds an edge and is more stainless than most. Chinese Quince handle scales with stainless liners and pocket clip. Measures 4-1/4" closed and weighs 3.5 oz.
