Valors copy of the Gerber Mark II dagger, as well as the leather handled 373 were adopted as official knives of two separate US Army Special Forces units. Tak Fukuta was the first Japanese member of the American Knife Maker's Guild, and apprentice to Bob Loveless. He hand crafted fine quality knives that impressed his mentor. Over the years, his factory in Seki, Japan produced knives for Parker, Valor, Gutmann, Explorer, Frost, and Browning among others. Model: Valor 373 This is a rare Valor commando style knife made by Tak Fukuta many years ago - a very sturdy knife! Condition; Used Made in Seki, Japan circa 1970s-1980s. Overall Length: 12" Blade: 7" long stainless Handle: Stacked leather with stainless guard and butt This comes with a heavy-duty custom leather sheath. Blade has no nicks but has seen a lot of sharpening. Pommel is nice and tight. Entire knife feels solid. No wobble. On the Internet, this product is offered by other vendors for a lower price in the range of 120-220. The price I have set here reflects my belief that this is the best quality example on sale online today. Unlike the other examples, this knife does not need to be repaired
