MOKI Lock Back Knife with a Beautiful White Pearl & Abalone Shell Inlayed Handle with Black Canvas & Leather Pouch. Circa 1999

Here on offer is a beautiful MOKI, lock back knife with a white pearl and abalone shell inlayed handle.

I have owned this knife from new and it is in mint condition, with its black canvas and leather pouch. I purchased it back on 1999 when I stared to collect the MOKI “Knife of the Year Series”.

Even though it is not a limited edition knife, I had to buy it just because of its stunning handle!

I am sure MOKI no longer make this particular style anymore and I can’t find another example for sale at the moment.

Moki knives have been produced in Seki, Japan since 1907. Every detailed time consuming hand finish & fit is devoted to each knife, making an exceptional high standard of quality craftsmanship so called "Precision Factory Custom Knives".

Moki pay careful attention to the material of the handles and produces attractive knives one at a time. They use various well-selected natural materials for knife handle inlays, such as the shell from white and black mother of pearl abalone harvested by divers from the bottom of the South Pacific.

Beautiful woods are used, such as Ironwood, Red Sandalwood and Lignum vitae known as the "tree of life" for some limited models.

The handle on this knife is made from polished stainless steel that has been inlayed with beautiful alternating sections of white pearl and abalone shell, on both sides.

The stunning mirror finished stainless steel blade is probably VC-10 or possibly ATS-34.

Stamped on the ricasso on one side is the name MOKI.

It comes complete with its original black canvas and brown leather pouch.

A great chance to add a truly top quality MOKI knife to your collection. This knife can only increase in value.


The knife has an approximate blade length of 2.6” (6.5cm) and a fully opened length of 5.75” (14.7cm).


It weighs 40g.
