Product Description
Literally meaning “hidden hand blade” in Japanese, a shuriken is a concealed weapon, like a throwing star, used to confuse or misdirect. While this titanium frame lock may share the same name, there’s nothing confusing about what it brings to the table Read More

I wanted to inquire if this is truly M390 steel being used in this knife, or if perhaps the RHc was misrepresented?? Typically the heat-treatment of M390 results in a RHc of 60-62, correct?? Why would anyone "under-heat-treat"??
SiggystyleThey have been tested by Bohler when a European distributor took one there to be tested and the HRC was 59.8, since then Tuya started doing their M390 heat treat at 61HRC +/-1 HRC. Back at the time these were made Tuya went by Bohlers recommendations because Bohler China does their heat treat, later testing showed they could bump it up some without risk of chipping so they did so. With that said, cut test on edge retention have been very good. I’ve had mine for 2 years and it does just as well or better than any M390 knife I owned, and I use them hard because I want to know the product I sell. You won’t be disappointed with edge retention 👍
I find many things about this very appealing. However, I am moving far away from frame locks, so I will probably pass. If I find a small paper bag stuffed with $100s, I know that I would change my mind. For the materials, this is a very good price.
After reading the description of this knife and the meaning of the name, I will be astonished if everyone in the advertising business does not buy at least one.
I am the main U.S distributor for wholesale and retail. This is an older model only 250pc were made in this upgraded version. The action is smooth drop shut and snappy, lifetime warranty service all handled by me in the states. pivot tool is a 2 prong spanner bit, but small flat head works fine. As far as Clones ! I been with Tuya for 4 years they do all original designs, they are a oem manufacture and sold this design to many, and the plain version was before they even started the brand Tuya but they have never done clones and never will, they did make “some” knives for factor equipment not all. Tuya is doing oem knives for companies in the U.S and Europe but it’s common practice we sign non-disclosure agreements so I can’t mention those companies, but the only thing that should matter is it’s a great knife, and great company that stands behind the product ! High level of quality and doesn’t Clone anyone’s designs. Please if you have any questions email me at Tuyaknives@hotmail.com
This knife has been in the market for very long, i suspect this is probably some “new old stock” that don’t sell well. Only buy if you really really love this design and never plan on getting rid of it. You won’t get your money back in the secondary market.
Buyer beware, for all those who like to strip down everything they purchase (or who simply wind up with a knife that's off-centered, or has a too-tight pivot for that drop-shut performance you crave): you're gonna have a problem with this one, considering the proprietary fitting the maker is using on both sides of that pivot! Anyone know if there's anywhere you can get an after-market wrench that'll fit that thing?
Shouldn't need saying, considering how obvious the pictures make it . . . but then I remember all the people who bitched and moaned about how "unexpectedly/disappointingly tiny" the Rike Hummingbird was when they received it!
unqualifiedopinionI've got a small Absolute in my car, it's cool and good. Grind on mine is a touch thicker than some, but no worse than Kizer's Envoy, still fine
Your right, the guy who designed it designed 2 knives for Tuya, Tuya then made a version and sold it to Factor, the designer never worked for Tuya, Kevin said he just asked him for a design, you can see the others were different sizes too, it’s not the same knife but same design, no one was ripped off, they are actually cousins. There is and never was any design made by Tuya without designers being paid, and agreeing to it. They use different newer designers now like myself and Michael Etorma. Tuya has a very good track record, all materials are tested all the time in the U.S so there is no worries on materials either, I guarantee that.
