Japanese knifemaker Kazuyuki Sakurai specialzes in intricate, handcrafted folding knives, many of which are inspired by the shapes of animals. Some of his most popular designes are the dog-shaped knives in his “Pochi” (poh-chee) series, which draws its names 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-blased titanium handle, a Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.), and a blue-anodized folding “tail,” titanium pocket clip, and a pivot-pin accent.
