The Shizuka noh Ken folder is a follow-up to the popular James Williams designed Otanashi noh Ken knife from CRKT. Its name translates to "hidden blade", which summarizes its intended role of providing the user with an even more compact tactical knife that can easily be carried inconspicuously in everyday fashion and as a complement to your personal defense tools.
Like its larger sibling, the Shizuka noh Ken knife has an Osoraku style blade, made famous by the 16th century Samurai warlord Takeda Shingen. In the closed position, the blade fits cleanly in the slim handle, ready to be deployed using the thumb disk. A black G-10 slab handle with a stainless steel frame lock provide both strength and grip. Working in tandem with the frame lock is a manual LAWKS safety that ensures virtual fixed blade safety and performance with the slide of the lever. The final piece, rounding out an impressive folding knife, is the discrete deep carry pocket clip.
James Williams' work with worldwide military Special Operations and his extensive classical Samurai training means that this knife is designed to perform at the highest level, when you need it most.
Has some light scuffs, otherwise good condition.
