CRKT Inazuma No Ken, 3.68" D2 Blade, Black G10 Handle - 2908
Strikes like lightning. Knifemaker James Williams' longstanding history and knowledge of hand-to-hand combat sets the bar for his tactical knife creations--and the Inazuma No Ken is no exception to the rule. 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.
What happens when you take traditional, classical weaponry and use modern day technology to improve it tenfold? You won't have to wonder much longer, because knife designer James Williams has done exactly that with the Inazuma No Ken. With a name that translates to "lightning sword", the tactical, combat-inspired folding knife is a true force not to be trifled with. Drawn from the influence of a classical Japanese sword, this modern carry honors the tried-and-true ways of traditional combat while impressively designed to withstand the nature of today's battlefield.
Featuring Ken Onion's award-winning Assisted Opening, the tough D2 steel snaps open at super high speed--and since it's enhanced with IKBS ball bearing pivot system, the blade deploys lightning fast with a smooth rotation. Ready to accommodate both left or right handed holds, the G10 handle's textured surface adds another element of control so your grip doesn't fail you no matter the weather conditions you're venturing into. Topping it all off, the Inazuma No Ken features a super strong locking mechanism thanks to Deadbolt innovation, delivering even more powerful precision whenever it's time to slash or cut through a surface.
When it's time to stow away, the Inazuma no Ken can be clipped to your belt, making it one of our go-to combat companions. With grip and blade strength that won't fail you, the Inazuma no Ken is your personal bolt of lightning.
