Here are some pics of the Starlingear/Strider Japan-only Kamikaze SNG CC. It is a Strider SNG CC with a carbon fiber slab and some special Kamikaze-themed laser artwork on the Ti slab and the blade. It also has a lanyard with a sterling silver Starlingear Kamikaze bead attached. The Japan-only version differs from the earlier US version in that the knife blade is stonewashed instead of black coated, and the bead is silver instead of bronze. It also has a different colored sheath from the US version.

PetaBread, that is a very good estimate. The US version of this knife, when it was available, retailed for $675. The Japanese version, from what I was told by Starlingear, retailed in Japan for $1200.

Kenneth you are pretty close with that. With tax it was 128,000yen which adds up to $1,289 dollars if you would buy it here. :)

They were absolutely beautiful indeed. Great pics and thanks for sharing Kenneth. :D

Here is one more in a group shot from the Trunk Show in Tokyo
