Knives from fifteen years ago were reviewed here.

Another 2007 review:
The current knives are, a I hoped to convey, a mystery.
The knife on the Bay is labeled ""FUJI," a well-regarded Japanese brand, but carries the 2007 trademark of the Cretan company, Golden Horn, rather than the trademark of the Japanese brand.
The current seller, registered in Pakistan, claims to be located in this Ridgewood Drive, North Brunswick, NJ, supported by a map show a location in NJ. They post: "We are in passion with manufacturing cutting equipment. We are expert in hunting and camping knives."
They also do busines as "Magnolia Knife Company, with lots of "you-alls." From southern Pakistan?
Also do busines as "Noblie Knives."
Claim in business one year, despite Golden Horn knives from 2007. "My 45th and 46th knife after 1 year of starting this hobby. What do you guys think?" Time traveler?
The person claiming to be the actual maker posts sales pitches in Reddit with pictures of knives he claims to have made as:
"Wicksie Witte,"
"
u/friccdotexe,"
"
u/Dan_Mac5411,"
"
u/UnderstandingLow1640,"
"
u/Fearless_Wafer_1493"
"
u/tomlvoss"\
And MANY other names.
The Canadian site for this "Golden Horn" identifies the actual maker as "Hakan." : Hakan is the master in creating special
knives." That site says the name of the company is "Golden Horn International," instead of "Golden Horn Outdoor."
In addition to knives with the Golden Horn trademark, whoever this is post sales picture's of knives with trademarks of other makers., such as the Turkish company "Nazim" ( makes sense as the "Golden Horn" in a physical feature in Istanbul, Turkey.) When there is location text, it is blurred out. This seller often describes handle of "its" knives as "Turkish walnut."
The ETSY site for this seller identifies James Smiles as the "contact." "
"James Smiles
Owner, Curator
I am in Passion with Outdoor Activities, especially hunting"
One "red flag" after another.
