Koji Hara folder?

[Tom Carey]

I see Buck is going to be selling a new Hara folder. Can anyone give me any details about the knife? Is this being made by Buck or by Koji's new company and imported by Buck?

Regards,

Tom Carey

Tom,
According to the info I read, this knife will be made in factory in Seki, Japan.
I'm looking forward to seeing one of these in the "flesh", looks to be a nice gents folder. I'm not sure when we'll actually see them though.

This is a custom collaboration. It is fitting that the knife be manufactured by G. Sakai because that is where Koji got his start into knife making as an employee there.

I visited Koji and G. Sakai factory this last year. I met the mayor of Seki City and also assisted in forging a samurai sword...the swordsmith held the metal and I applied the hammer. No shoes allowed. It was quite a treat.

I will get information about the numbers and deliveries soon.
