Hi there, I have recently been looking at some of Hiroaki Ohtas slip joints and they look fantastic! In particular his light folder looks great. Does Anybody on here own one? And if so could you post pics and give a quick review pleAse.

Also can you order directly from the man himself? Im in the UK and no stores stock his knives, the only place I can find with one of his OLF knives for sale is Arizonacustoms. And even that one is SPF.

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers
 
I had one, but sold it. It was finished as well as any handmade I've had, but the pull was much stronger than I like it. Much stronger than any I've seen on a slipjoint.
It had the best stag I've ever had. Never seen a knife of his that didn't have exceptional stag.
 
I've handled a few, and the only reason I don't own one is because I'm broke. Very well made, and, as noted above, he uses some really nice stag.
