Garry! I'm in awe! It's a fortunate man who owns a Koji Hara original, and you got yourself a beauty right there! Congratulations!Quick Steel wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 6:36 pm Koji Hari is one of the most well known Japanese custom knife makers working today. This little gem -3" closed- is composed of highly polished stainless steel for the frame which is deeply fluted. Presentation grade MOP is inserted into both sides of the handle. This is a liner lock. The thumb stud is a small pearl.
As usual I suggest enlarging the photos.

Wild, never seen anything like that. Wow, totally unique to me, looks like it should be in a cutlery magazine spread. Congrats, is that a one of a kind? Gotta be.
drl110, that's a great looking pattern in the wood and nice LB. Great looking piece.

Marco, thank you for sharing in my excitement with this knife.
Iman, It is original and was bought with the understanding that it is one of a kind. [If you ever come across an identical knife, kindly do not tell me. ]

Don't worry Quick, NEVER seen anything close. I can't imagine ever seeing another. If I do it will probably be here so mum's the word and I'll tell you not to look on the thread.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 7:26 pm Marco, thank you for sharing in my excitement with this knife.

Garry, that is astounding! In a completely different league from my two new pick-ups: a pair of Spyderco Dragonfly 2s, both with Wharncliffe blades.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Thank you Dan. I do like your Spydercos. Both are highly practical knives. My piece of course is not very practical even tho it will cut. I classify it as a piece of art, a sculptural work. Both yours and mine are excellent for their purpose.

Garry, You have no idea how long I have wanted to buy a Koji Hara knife. My envy is in overdrive. He is truly a master of blending art, craftsmanship and function. I have saved pictures of some of his knives on my IPad and just enjoy looking at them. This is one that I have looked at many times. It is truly elegant. Congrats on this one. Please add this one to the “other Seki made” thread.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 6:36 pm Koji Hari is one of the most well known Japanese custom knife makers working today.

Yes indeed, they are. My user Spyderco has been put to work on boxes...that cardboard didn't stand a chance!

Got these two in today.
A Victorinox Black Alox Pioneer And a 2021 Case XX 10249W Copperhead Wharncliffe blade with Richlite scales in what Case calls Chocollate Brown & Red, layered with a natural layer. I had never heard of Richlite, and found out it is basically a type of paper Micarta.

Get off the Pot and order Marine. I ordered this one and a Dark Blue. Waiting on the Dark Blue....

I raided the change bucket this week & this one came today. Pretty decent for the price. 3½" closed. Check out the run-up on the main blade (looks better in person).

Suppose you could call it a survivors commemorative. Covid did hit our family hard.
Before covid going back a several years I would walk along with the kids on Halloween in full plague doctor costume. It was always fun to see peoples reactions.
