Hiroaki Ohta Knives OFF FK5P Desert Iron Wood Friction Folder 3680

The OFF FK 5P mini Friction Folder from Ohta Knives features true Japanese craftsmanship with some of the finest materials on the planet. Mr. Hiroaki Ohta combines pleasing aesthetics with proper functionality in a way seldom found in the realm of friction folding knives. This knife is new direct from the maker. The Blade: Every day functionality from this two-toned (satin grinds/black flats, spine and lever) reverse tanto style plus incredible beauty from the blade flats and grind finishings. It’s crafted from tool steel for a dependable, crazy sharp polished cutting edge. It rotates on a silver pivot pin via an extended portion of the blade tang. This portion or lever extends about 3/4 of an inch out of the handle when closed. Simply pull the lever toward the back of the handle to open. Once open, apply pressure with your thumb on the spine to hold the blade “locked” in position.  The Handle: Super light single piece of Iron wood is the star of this show. Its waves of colors light to dark will fit any gentleman’s style. The wood is smoothed and contoured for a comfortable grip. Integral engineering really ties the whole design together. A lanyard hole at the end of the handle is convenient for personalizing.  The OFF FK5P ships in a black leather pocket slip pouch.
