Comments: Those of you not familiar with the super clean work of Japanese maker Maseo Takahashi are in for the treat. A real deciple of the Loveless school, Maseo mostly creates Loveless inspired fighters and hunters for his fans around the world.

Normally a fixture on the American Knife Show circuit, Maseo has not visited the US in a couple of years, which means his knives are in very short supply.

This particular piece is a rare Cowboy Dagger with outstanding scales of Sambar Stag. The blade is beautifully ground and the fit of the guard to the blade is without flaw. If you are a fan of fine fixed blades you will not be disappointed with this example of Maseo's art.
