Columbia River CRKT Williams HZ6 Fixed Blade Knife (6.5 Inch SK-5 Black Plain Blade) Black G10 Handle + Boltaron Sheath 2927

Reminiscent of a Japanese dagger, the HZ6 is a tactical fixed blade designed by James Williams for CRKT. Owing to the SK5 carbon steel blade, this knife holds well to heavy use, despite its combat leanings. The blade is black powder-coated to resist wear and tear. The handle is black G10 and is designed for both a secure grip and to reflect the classic wrapped handles of Japanese daggers. The knife comes with a Boltaron sheath that accommodates several mounting options.
