With a name that means “The Silent Sword,” this folding knife—nay, folding sword, also means nothing but business. Upon request from SOCOM (Special Operations Command), the Otonashi noh Ken is designed by James Williams—a man with 45 years of martial arts experience—for efficiency from tip to tang.
Its AUS-8 blade has a thin, elongated, modified tanto edge for increased cutting contact and reduced drag. True to its name, it deploys silently and locks securely, especially with the inclusion of the Lake and Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS) locking pin to ensure it doesn’t close during use. Full-sized and textured G-10 handles give you increased grip, and a deep-pocket clip ensures covert carry in your pocket. Despite a full opened size of 10.13 inches, the Otanashi noh Ken stays light enough for EDC at 6.4 ounces.
