SEIICHI NAKAMURA- Engineering was his lifes work until he retired to focus his efforts on a passion for custom knife work. He specializes in small Japanese style folders, gentlemens carry and jewelry knives. His eye for artistry and mechanical engineering make him a perfect fit for the innovative Benchmade team.
