CannaBis is a Dmitry Sinkevich collaboration that the factory announced on 26 December 2012 as its project for 2013. It was conceived as a sturdy folder for the outdoors, with a thick handle that fills the hand. A pilot batch of ten had no clip, since the knife was meant to be carried in a pouch; before the main run a low-profile clip recessed into the scale was added. The main run of 200 let each participant choose among three configurations, True, Real and Ice, which differ in steel, scales, pivot and grind; 51 True, 101 Real and 48 Ice were made. A fourth configuration, the TNK Edition of 100 numbered pieces with green canvas micarta scales, was sold through the US shop TNK. A Mini CannaBis followed in July 2016 as the Born in Vegas Cards V project: 54 knives sold by draw among club members, one for each card in a deck with jokers, each card painted on the spacer, on an 85 mm Vanax 37 blade with a titanium frame lock and MRBS. The name comes from the hemp micarta scales on Sinkevich's original custom. All variants are discontinued.
