Product Description
A remarkable fusion of craftsmanship and imagination from Hidetoshi Nakayama, this handcrafted folding knife transforms metal and wood into a poetic work of art.
The handle features a delicately hand-carved cat climbing along the grip, its body captured in lifelike motion. When viewed from the side, the cat’s reflection appears on the mirror-polished blade, creating a subtle and enchanting dialogue between sculpture and steel.
The handle is carved from natural wood, offering a warm organic texture that contrasts beautifully with the clean, reflective VG10 stainless steel blade. Every detail — from the gentle curve of the spine to the fine texture of the carving — showcases Nakayama’s unparalleled precision and his storytelling through form and material.

More than a knife, it is a sculpture in motion — a reflection of Nakayama’s sensitivity to nature, playfulness, and the quiet harmony found in everyday life.
