Spyderco Pochi Titanium with R.I.L. / CPM S45VN Blade Folding Knife – C256TIP
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.

RAZOR SHARP BLADE
At just over two inches the blade of the Pouchi is legal in most areas while still providing powerful cutting performance thanks to a 2.5 mm thickness, razor sharp hollow grind and fine clip point. The forward “leg” of the dog forms an index finger guard for added safety while the Spyderco Round Hole offers easy operation.
TITANIUM HANDLE
Bead blasted matte gray the solid titanium construction is robust and lightweight with a reliable Reeve Integral Lock built right into the frame. Polished scallops on both sides of the handle spine add traction and visual appeal along with blue anodized pivot collar, folding tail and pocket clip with paw print milling.
