CRKT HZ4 Fixed Blade
Item #: CL-2924
$114.95
Sized down from the HZ6 the HZ4 has the same powerful cutting power of its bigger brother the HZ6, just in a more compact and concealable form. With the HZ4 knifemaker James Williams paid tribute to the hira-zukuri—a classical Japanese straight sword. 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. The HZ4 is purpose-built for real life warriors, designed to meet the demands of the modern world. Even the knife's G-10 handle shows Japanese influence. The carved Xs represent the traditional wrapping of a sword handle. It's not just for aesthetic purposes. The design provides a good strong grip for cold, wet, gloved or gloveless hands. Paired with a well-fitted Kydex sheath with multiple carry options. An excellent choice for combat or tactical defense.
The 4-1/2" straight edge blade is constructed of tough SK-5 carbon steel with a hardness of 57-58 Rc., with a protective black coating to diminish rust and corrosion for use in rough, wet weather. Measures 8-7/8" overall. Weighs 4.5 oz. Made in Taiwan. Suggested retail is $134.99.
