Japanese Valor "Assassin" ~ "Knuckle Duster" Lockback ~ Vintage 

• Handle: The distinctive feature of the "Assassin" was its knuckle-style, four-finger-hole handle, intended to be reminiscent of brass knuckles. The handle was typically made from cast metal, often with a finish that mimicked brass.
• Blade: The knife utilized a locking blade mechanism, or "lockback". This design allowed the folding blade to lock securely into place when opened, which was a feature found on many of Valor's knives.
• Manufacturer: The knife was manufactured in Seki, Japan, a city famous for its high-quality knifemaking. Valor imported many different knives from Seki makers throughout the 1970s and 1980`s
