Blade is stamped TAYLOR/SETO Surgical Japan. Taylor Knives was founded by Stewart Taylor in Kingsport, TN. For the first 30 years all the knives were made in Japan. The company owns the knife brands of Schrade and Old Timer. The same parent company of Taylor Knives owns Smith and Wesson. - Kombat Instruments Limited has been in the weapons and martial arts business for over 30 years. Throughout these decades, members of Team KIL have collected thousands of unique weapons during our international travels, or at auctions, or as gifts from our fighter friends around the world. We've kept some of these weapons to showcase in our personal collections. Many have been donated to museums. But there are still several vintage weapons that need a good home. We created the KIL Vintage Warfare collection as a way for you serious fighters to own a piece of martial arts history. All of our vintage weapons are pre-owned and well handled; and several have been brandished in actual combat. Please take some time to look at each weapon and to examine each photo in order to find the Vintage Warfare weapon that would be perfect for your own collection. - Taylor Cutlery "Manila Folder" Weight: 8oz Blade Length: 3-1/4" Total Length: 9" Closed Length: 5-1/4"
