Otanashi Noh Ken

This new knife came into being on a special needs request by SOCOM (Special Operation Command). James Williams' goal was to design a large folding knife that was still extremely flat and easy to carry. The result is the impressive Otanashi Noh Ken, meaning "the silent sword". The traditional Japanese Osoraku blade made of modern AUS-8 is based on models from the 16th century. The Otanashi Noh Ken has a longer blade than the Hissatsu Folder yet is still designed to be even flatter than the much smaller Heiho. The knife sits very deep in the pocket thanks to its special clip but ist always close at hand. The frame lock can also be secured via the LAWKS.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
