CR5042: Limited Edition 5042 Dew Hara Hirin Folding Knife

CRKT

We're pretty sure it doesn't have superpowers but you can't tell just from a glance. Designer Dew Hara laughs in the face of the status quo and we take his Hirin limited edition folding knife as all the proof we need. This exclusive creation is built with premium materials in Maniago, Italy and limited to only 500 pieces. And if by chance, the knife itself doesn't have superpowers, the effect it has when you pull it out of your pocket surely will.

For many years, Dew Hara of Seki, Japan was a web developer and spent much of his childhood enthralled with Japanese anime. But his family's knife-designing roots run deep and—following the footsteps of his world-famous father Koji Hara—Dew entered the world of knife design. Channeling his varied background, Dew dreamt up the Hirin, a daring design that features perfectly balanced cutouts in the spear point blade and handle. This limited-edition design uses Bohler M390 blade steel and two-tone 6A'4V titanium for the handles. A flipper starts the smooth action of the IKBS ball bearing pivot system around the detailed pivot point and a liner lock keeps it in place.

The Hirin hits the mark between Japanese perfection and otherworldly style.
