Chuck, it sure looks the same. What does the stamp on the master blade say?

Chuck, Moki Sakurai was the original maker of these "Hobo knives", so the "S" part would seem correct. Mine just said "Sakurai" on the master. Maybe one of his sons copied his design later.

I carry a Moki/Al Mar as a pocket knife now. Here's a site that carries the Moki made knife: http://www.youwantit2.com/JAPANESEKNIVES.html
