Inspired by this rich artistic heritage, Spyderco's Zome knives start with two of their most popular lightweight models featuring light-colored injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handles. Expert Japanese artisans then use a technique reminiscent of traditional hiki-zome (brush dyeing) to hand brush various colors of dye onto the handles to create distinctive, one-of-a-kind patterns. The special dyes used completely permeate the FRN to permanently color it. This remarkable method can be used with different color palettes and base-color combinations to create distinctive "runs" of knives, while ensuring that no two knives are ever exactly alike.
