Other Features: Just received this beautiful knife from the shop of this talented up and coming maker. This beautiful piece has fantastic sambar stag scales that are well matched.  The size is just right for any task that you can throw at it.  But, at 4" closed, it isn't too big to fit comfortably in your pocket everyday.  Hiroaki is producing some beautifully finished pieces these days.  This piece is great evidence of that.  So, fit, finish and action on this piece is what you would expect for a knife priced well above his asking price.  We highly recommend this knife for our friends.  But, there is only one available and like most of his other work, I am sure it will not last long.
