Was looking at the Krenov School’s student projects for inspiration, and keep seeing these hinges. What are these called/where can I get them?

Knife pivot hinge.
Knife Hinges.

Those are knife hinges. Bob Sanderson (a graduate of Krenov's school) makes and sells versions of these that are excellent quality and well proportioned for the kind of work that you are looking at.

Very tricky to install, but also fun and rewarding to get them right. There are many articles on installing knife hinges. The trick is the sizing of the cabinet door--the gap has to be exactly right for these to work. Good luck!
These knife hinges really look amazing. I never would have thought that they were called that. I saw them when I was working on my project in human resources "Elegant office furniture as a means to enhance employee satisfaction and motivation". I chose this topic from among hundreds of HR research topics on https://papersowl.com/blog/human-resources-research-topics because it appealed to me the most. Now I would like to get furniture with such hinges, but it seems setting them up is not that simple. Does anyone have instructions on how to install them correctly, please?
