Description: Captain Koyama's designs are truly innovative. He designs and develops his knives with unique locking mechanisms that immediately capture the imagination. This one features a mechanism called an O-Lock. It is easily operated with a simple ambidextrous action. When open, the blade is pressed upward, releasing the lock.
Lacewood scales meet with differentially anodized titanium bolsters in an elegant S-shape. Anodized titanium liners keep the knife light and strong. The knife is easily kept close at hand using the ultra-light carbon fiber pocket clip (mounted for right-handed, tip-down carry).
Excellent work throughout!
