Direct from the Maker from the NYCKS 2011
I was Hiroaki’s first customer at the recent New York Custom Knife show and was able to hand pick some of his most beautiful pieces. This is an amazing knife in design and function, simple yet elegant.
This Custom Slipjoint by Hiroaki has hand carved exotic Snakewood handles. It has a supremely crisp smooth action, a firm Half Stop and perfect lock up. Hiroaki makes the handles of his knives slim so that it fits in the hand very comfortably.
The blade is a made from VG-10 with an RC of 60-61 and the knife has smooth Carbon Fiber liners, this allows for plenty of stength while still maintaining a very light weight.
The blade is perfectly centered and operates smoothly, no play in any direction. Hiroaki has added some nice Custom Filework to the back of the Spring.
The unique Snakewood is very well matched and has a nice high polish to show off the natural Grain and Color.
Hiroaki makes his own Leather Pocket Sheaths for every knife, well stitched and holds the knife securely.
A wonderful knife,probably the best value in a hand made Slipjoint that I have seen!
This is the exact knife that you will receive.
