Spyderco Pochi

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.
