- I have recently come across a knife which i believe was made in seki City, Gifu, Japan, by Yasuo Imai. In the late 1950 to early 1970. I believe it was 130 mm long closed and 220mm long when opened. It is shaped like a very long but skinny fish, came in a range of colors like blue, red, black and green. And i am particularly interested in the green variant. I have multiple pictures of the knife itself but sadly have not found a current auction or offer on the internet. If you have any information or clues please leave a comment and i will get back to you shortly.
