Katz K-248 Stag Lockback ~ Vintage 1990`s
The Katz K-248 Stag Handle Lockback is a vintage, limited edition folding pocket knife manufactured in Japan during the 1990s. It is highly regarded by collectors for its high-quality craftsmanship and is typically found today in "New Old Stock" (NOS) condition with its original box.
Specifications and Features
- Blade Material: High-quality stainless steel (some similar Katz gentleman's models use mirror-polished ATS-34).
- Handle Material: Genuine stag (antler) scales with a natural texture.
- Locking Mechanism: Traditional lockback design for secure blade deployment and safety.
- Dimensions: Measures approximately 3.5 inches when closed.
- Construction: Features a single blade, often with a clip point or similar precision profile, and may include nickel silver bolsters.
- Manufacturing: Produced in Japan (MIJ), a region known for premium knife production during that era.
Collector's Context
This model is often compared to or found alongside similar vintage Japanese-made knives from the same period, such as those by Parker Cutlery Company, which also used the "K248" designation for its stag lockback models. While Katz Knives was founded in 1991, their early Japanese-made pieces like the K-248 are prized for their "nice snap" and smooth manual action.
- Never used, carried or sharpened
- Original box
- Condition is mint
