Based on knifemaker Dew Hara’s custom design (which regularly fetches upwards of $1,000), this production version is steeped in Japanese tradition and built with modern materials. This particular one is made from rosewood. Here, you’ll see that overlapping construction evoked in the handle. Made from stepped rosewood the handle offers a sure grip in slippery circumstances. But perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the folder is the button lock mechanism, which secures the blade when the knife is both open and closed. As soon as you press the button, it releases the blade. Simply flick your wrist back and forth to open and close it, and then release the button to lock it again. This is from a first production run so it comes numbered with
- Serialization (first production only) this one is RW014
- Versatile S35VN Drop-Point & Titanium Liners
- Measuring 8.3 inches overall, the Kabuto isn’t small by any stretch. However, thanks to the titanium liners, it’s relatively lightweight and easy to control in tight spaces. The 3.5-inch blade, made from premium S35VN stainless steel, takes a great edge and is highly resistant to corrosion. When open, the choil at the top of the handle makes a nice resting place for an index finger. While mostly decorative, the thumbstuds can be used to complete the blade’s rotation if it doesn't swing fully open or closed. Use the lengthy, skeletonized steel pocket clip for right-handed tip-up carry.
This is an awesome looking and feeling knife with the push of a button and flick of the wrist it just pops out. It is brand new, never carried or used. The wood has a great look and design is something I’ve never really seen which is great. It is razor sharp and of first production so it is labeled as so this is number 14. If you are interested message me. Price is $190. PayPal and Priority shipping. Conus only.
