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.
If you need a silent, dependable blade that's as stealthy as it is effective, pick up the Otanashi noh Ken at the link below.
He has lived through many personal and professional lives, spending nearly a decade in the workforce management industry, a minor career in gaming, and has lent a hand with entrepreneurial efforts back home in the Philippines. He has also been an active participant and helped build a number of significant social communities online, both for EDC and his other hobbies.
Mikey has been at the cusp of gaming, technology, and the internet since the ‘90s and continues to lend his experience, expertise, and authority to all his pursuits. When not online, in a game, or watching movies, you'll find him in the gym, speedrunning his next hobby, or talking at length about EDC with anyone willing to listen.
