Serial 0230 runs a CPM-S45VN blade in a titanium frame with camo carbon inlays, a blue anodized flipper tab, and a blue anodized pivot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Say It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBikkhu is pronounced BIC-oo.

It reads more like a natural material than a technical one. It is cut from sheet, so the pattern lands differently on every set of inlays, and the ones on serial 0230 exist once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgainst the dark inlays, the blue anodized tab and pivot are the only color on the knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Steel: CPM-S45VN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Camo Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlipper Tab: Blue anodized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePivot: Blue anodized titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpacer: Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClip: Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThumb Studs: Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock: Frame lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeployment: Flipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial Number: 0230\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Made in USA (Mills River, North Carolina)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHand Ground, One at a Time\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDylan grinds every Bikkhu bevel by hand on a belt sander, setting lockup to a scribe line. As he puts it, a lot of makers believe the soul of the knife is in the bevel, and that is where his blood, sweat, and tears go. Building one means assembling and disassembling the same knife something like a hundred times before it ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMade in North Carolina\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDylan started Hypercut with one used 1996 mill he bought off Facebook Marketplace and wired in himself.
