  • Made for the modern warrior. Paying tribute to the hira-zukuri a classical Japanese straight sword knifemaker James Williams brings us the HZ6. Hailing from the 8th century; the original hira-zukuri style blade was 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. Honoring the classical Japanese straight sword; the HZ6 derives from the ancient hira-zukuri blade style; which features no ridgelines whatsoever. But the true power behind this tactical knife s smooth blade surface is the ability to accomplish impressively clean penetration across whatever surface it meets. And since the blade is decked in protective coating to diminish rust and corrosion; you ll have less to worry about when brandishing the blade in rougher or wetter weather. And what s in its name? The first two initials stand for “hira-zukuri”; while the numerical “6” refer to the mighty 6.5” blade. But its size isn t the only thing to fear constructed of tough SK-5 carbon steel; slashing and puncturing comes second nature to the HZ6. Even the knife s handle pulls from Japanese influence; the handle s carved x s representing the traditional wrapping of a sword. But it s not only for aesthetic purposes designed for delivering a tremendous grip for cold; wet; gloves or gloveless hands; there's added durability with each strike and blow. Paired with a well-fitted sheath; utilize the holster s clip to keep it extra close on your belt; or slip a lanyard through the opening at the base of the handle. An excellent choice for combat or tactical defense; the HZ6 makes it easy to be a modern-day warrior.
