Hidetoshi Nakayama is a Japanese artist that seems to be capable of just about anything from carving, knife making, silver smithing, etc. He is renowned for his detail skills and old world craftsmanship. Each and every piece from Hide is literally hand made from start to finish in his shop. Hide's pieces are always innovative and are like work from a bygone era.
The mini friction folder from Hide is another example why his work is so in demand. The frame is steel and is adorned with a hammered brass plate and steel pins. The sides of the frame have engraved texturing that flows from one part to the next. The hand ground D2 blade pivots open and the notch engages on the frame. Tuck it in your shirt pocket and the extended frame tang makes it look just like a pen, or clip it on your your keys with the attached ring.
