The MkII Limited Edition Collectible Salter Kiku Collaboration Knife
Our MkII Limited Edition Collectible is one of our most exclusive collectible knife blades available. The OU-31 blades are individually hand-forged to our design specifications by the Japanese master blade-maker and grinder, Kiku Matsuda.
No two knives will be identical because each handle and presentation will be different. You can choose your own handle shape and decorative accents.

Kiku’s trademark subtle Damascus pattern and textured matte finish make this an absolutely impressive looking blade; his trademark ‘magic hand’ Appleseed grind makes it incredibly sharp. The 5mm thick blade and finger notch along the top of the spine makes this knife a hefty combination of tactical hunter and chef knife. This is a knife-lovers knife!
There will only be a limited release of four of these blades, making them an exclusive and rare collectible opportunity.
Above: With your custom order, you have a choice of storage options. Here, our client chose a gambler-themed custom wall hanging display box. Special requests included locking latches and a quick removal system with front lid hinged opening.
