NEW DESIGNS

FROM JAMES WILLIAMS

Paying tribute to the hira-zukuri—a classical Japanese straight sword—knife designer James Williams brings us the HZ6.



First popularized in daggers and utilized as a powerful “short” sword for survival and everyday use. And just like its origin, the HZ6 is purpose-built for real-life warriors, only now designed to meet the demands of the modern world.

INAZUMA NO KEN™

Inspired by the Otanashi noh Ken™ and the Hissatsu™ Folder, James brings us another Japanese-inspired knife with a name that translates to “lightning sword.”

Merging three remarkable innovations—Ken Onion’s Assisted Opening and Flavio Ikoma’s IKBS™ Ball Bearing Pivot System and Deadbolt® lock—stand back as it quickly and smoothly deploys, locking into place to withstand even the toughest jobs. You’ll see soon enough how it’s rightfully earned its namesake.
