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.
