Overview
In 2008, Some of the Seki knife authorities have formed "Seki Challengers Knife Club" to train and inherit Seki traditional knifemaking technique and knowledge to young knife craftsmen in Seki. There are now 15 club members gathering once a month. They are working at Seki knife factories, and challenging to make their own custom knives after work and weekends.
At the Challengers meeting in September, each member received SOG Stingray 2.0 knives and were asked to come up with any possible remaking they like. Each one is very unique showing each personality and character.
These are truly unique collector models for the old SOG collectors!
