My latest pawn shop find

[holo07]

Picked up this Precise brand made in Japan at the pawn shop paid $2.00 the guy at the counter told me it was junk. I would disagree I remember this brand as kid being sold at stores like Uncle Bills. Anyway here are a couple of pics.

I like the shape of that clip blade .

Nice catch holo07 - little chance Japanese stainless in a knife like that would be ‘junk’ ….!

I have a Precise “Deerslayer Ltd.” model fixed blade I purchased in the mid 1980s sometime for around $20, as I recall. The tang is stamped “440 stainless Japan”, and to this day it is one of the sharpest knives I own. Not a super pricey piece, but definitely not junk.

It's early Americana.

There was once a time. Anything not made in the USA was exotic.

The knife pictured is that.
