Direct from the Maker from the BLADE 2012
This Custom Slipjoint by Hiroaki has hand carved Presentation grade Indian Rosewood handles.
It has a very 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, full Carbon Fiber liners, this allows for plenty of stength but 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 Presentation Grade Rosewood is very well matched and has a nice high polish to show off the incredible natural Grain and Color.
Hiroaki makes his own Leather Pocket Sheaths for every knife, well stitched and holds the knife securely.
This is an amazing knife in design and function, simple yet elegant.
