This Large Custom Slipjoint by Hiroaki has beautiful Hand Contoured Rosewood Burl handles.
Buttery smooth action, a Half Stop and perfect blade seating when locked open. Hiroaki makes the handles of his knives slim so they fit in the hand very comfortably. This knife has a blade spring / pull Tension of approx 7.5 to 8 (on a scale of 1 – 10).
The knife has full Carbon Fiber liners under the Rosewood handles, this allows for plenty of strength but still a very light weight.
The blade is perfectly centered and no play in any direction. Hiroaki has added some nice Custom Filework to the back of the Spring.
The Stabilized Rosewood Burl is extremely well matched and has a nice high polish to show off the natural Grain and rich Dark Color.
Hiroaki makes his own Leather Pocket Sheaths for every knife, well stitched and holds the knife securely.
This is the actual knife you will receive, top shelf fit and finish, simple yet elegant.
