Vintage Edge Mark Folding Hunter

This vintage Edge Mark Folding Hunter is built like a tank. It has a 3.5" cutting edge of 440 stainless steel sandwiched between two solid slabs of stainless steel which are clothed in rubberized checkered scales. The pronounced finger choil coupled with a similarly pronounced thumb ramp allow for some real up close and personal controlled cutting. This knife was made in Japan and I'm guessing around the 70's or 80's? If anyone has any information about this knife I would love to hear it. I have never seen one quite like it. It's a really solid, hefty piece that was built for hard use. You can gauge its size by viewing it posed next to the brown Spyderco Paramilitary 2 in a couple of the pics I've uploaded.

That Edge Mark truly is an incredible knife. It probably wasn't a very expensive knife. But it's certainly a no nonsense folder that, as my description above indicates, is virtually indestructible. Quite hefty, too!

Some of my lanyards I have made and others I have purchased. But even the ones that were made by someone else always end up being accessorized by me with different types of beads. With me, if a knife has a lanyard hole it WILL get a lanyard.

Comment by tim payne on February 28, 2015 at 13:33: knice looking seki edge mark ron. like the rubberized checked scales. believe I have this shape pattern before, maybe on a Fury Japan model.

Comment by Lars Ray on February 28, 2015 at 11:43: Ron - I see you have fobs and lanyards on many of your knives...nice touch. Reminds me of Sword Knots - the decorative aspect of a utilitarian purpose. Do you make these yourself?
