A rare vintage skinner from Tak Fukuta's Seki workshop, handcrafted in the 1990s-2000s and recently discovered in old factory stock. The 5" AUS-8A blade is built for clean, controlled cuts in game processing or kitchen work, supported by a hardwood handle that's proven to withstand decades of use. Fukuta's reputation as the first Japanese member of the American Knifemakers' Guild and Bob Loveless apprentice ensures this fixed blade represents genuine craftsmanship from a maker who supplied major brands like Browning and Parker. A piece of knife history that still performs.
