G. Sakai....quality name
G. Sakai is one of about a half a dozen very reputable Japanese knife makers that have contracted with and made certain knives for Spyderco. I have a 1997 Spyderco dealer's catalog with an entire line of G. Sakai cutlery and it is very impressive even by today's standards.
I can assure you that anything made by G-Sakai is top quality cutlery. I have also heard that G. Sakai still makes some of the older, discontinued Spyderco models like the Stainless Rescue and a few other select models.

Long Live the SPYDEREDGE Spyderco Hawkbills RULE!!
I concur. I rotate a G Sakai folder in with my Spydies for EDC. I also have a G Sakai sommelier's tool. They, much like Spyderco, represent excellent quality at their price point. They're based in Seki city, of course.JD Spydo wrote:G. Sakai is one of about a half a dozen very reputable Japanese knife makers that have contracted with and made certain knives for Spyderco.

If this is the G. Sakai page you're going to, just click the Spyderco button in the left margin.RJNC wrote:Anyone know G. Sakai's Spyderco website? I can find their website, but no Spydero'c are on it.

G Sakai Archistrial Knife
While searching, came across this old thread. Just want to post a few pics of my old knife.
I was told that the Archistrial knives line was designed by Hisatsugu Haneda back in 1988.
I've bought it in 1989, if I recalled correctly. There were a couple of designs but I chose this.
The thumb raise is distinctive with jimping throughout the top of the blade. The thick spine tapers
towards the tip. Jimping on the bottom grove makes working with fine cuts a breeze and controllable.
Looking at the jimpings reminds me of some models of the Spyderco knives.
Mirror-finished blade makes taking photo of the blade difficult (for an amateur like me).

Hi Shahrial,
Nice pics and nice knife. Thanx much for the memory trip. Spyderco was at one time the importer of G.Sakai brand. Haneda's primary area of design was fly fishinbg rods, for which he is famous in Japan. the Archistrials were an entire line of knives he created and G.Sakai built. I still have some around.
