Japanese knifemaker Kazuyuki Sakurai specializes in intricate, handcrafted folding knives, many of which are inspired by the shapes of animals. Some of his most popular designs are the dog-shaped knives in his ?Pochi? (poh-chee) series, which draws its name from the most common Japanese dog name, roughly the equivalent of ?Spot.?
His first Spyderco collaboration faithfully translates this novel design into a unique production folder with a hollow-ground CPM S45VN? blade, a bead-blasted titanium handle, a Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.), and a blue-anodized folding ?tail,? titanium pocket clip, and pivot-pin accent.
