Harumi Hirayama didn't come to Seki Outdoor Knife Show.
She often comes to the JKG Show in Tokyo.

Harumi use to be a real Hottie!!! Haven't had the pleasure of seeing her in years.

Thanks for sharing!!! That was fun to see pix from that show.

Thanks for sharing these with us. I really like the looks of some of those slip joints by Yoshio Suzuki. I'm also drawn by the large folding hunters by Kansei Matsuno. He sure finds some beautiful stag.

Was Hiroaki Ohta at that show? Just curious.

Thanks for sharing.
One only has to observe these reviews of the international shows to see just how popular tactical knives are around the world.

Thanks for the review.

I really like those Matsuno folding hunters. They make me think of a folding Loveless especially with those bolts. Thanks for sharing these photos.
