The Dharma Platform

The Dharma is Hypercut's automatic folder and the model the shop is best known for. It is a single action out the side design at 7.3 inches overall with a 3.2 inch blade, so it carries like a normal folder and opens with a button press. Dylan machines the parts in house, and the fit between the scales and the blade is where the shop's tolerances show.

CPM S45VN Blade

S45VN is a stainless steel built for edge retention and corrosion resistance, with more toughness than the S30V and S35VN steels it followed. On a tanto profile you get a reinforced tip that holds up to harder use while the straight primary edge stays easy to sharpen.

Green Dragon Scale Titanium

The scales are titanium milled in a dragon scale pattern and anodized green. The milling gives the handle traction and a depth that a flat scale does not have, and the green keeps it from reading as a safe queen. Titanium pivot, backspacer, and clip.

Made in the USA

Hypercut Manufacturing is Dylan plus two people in Mills River, North Carolina, machining everything in house. Every Dharma is serial numbered, and Hypercut backs them with a warranty and a spa service that will refinish a knife to keep it right.

Why This One Stands Out

Green dragon scale is the most wearable of the four in this batch, colorful enough to be interesting without being loud. Serial 0218 is one knife in this configuration, made in North Carolina.
