Comments: Those of you multi-blade slip-joint folder collectors who have not already heard the name Ryuichi Kawamura, or handled one of his knives, are really in for a treat. Ryu as he likes to be called, is one of our four "Featured Makers". He uses only the finest materials and has some of the very best natural stag we have ever seen. His blades are beautifully ground and the springs have just the right tension.
This classic two-blade Sway Back Jack also has a shield of just the right proportions as well as fluted bolsters to set off the stag. No less a knife making legend than Tony Bose gives Ryu his highest praise, and you can read some of Tony's actual comments on our Featured Artists page. The knife walks and talks so beautifully it puts the Remington original to shame!
