The iconic M16® gets a modern upgrade. Battle tested and universally used—the iconic M16® family of knives comes from a long line of military-grade tools. The latest in a line of Carson Desert Tactical Folders developed for coalition forces in the Middle East, the M16®-14XD Tanto improves upon an already iconic design with an ambidextrous Crossbar Lock paired with IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot for seamless deployment and easy one-hand closing. The tanto blade in tough D2 steel with Veff Serrations™ offers superior cutting performance in the most demanding situations, while the Grivory® handle keeps the knife lightweight and nimble.

Purpose-built for bold ideas. Just a pen? Hardly. The Collet Pen is part writing instrument, part precision scribe multitool. Hidden beneath the back cap is a tungsten carbide tip scribe strong enough to mark most hard materials. It’s held in place by a collet chuck that can accept any manner of optional scribe implements.

Strikes like lightning. Knifemaker James Williams’ longstanding history and knowledge of hand-to-hand combat sets the bar for his tactical knife creations—and the Inazuma No Ken™ is no exception to the rule. Inspired by the Otanashi noh Ken™ and the Hissatsu™ Folder, James brings us another Japanese-inspired knife with a name that translates to “lightning sword.” Merging three remarkable innovations—Ken Onion’s Assisted Opening and Flavio Ikoma’s IKBS™ Ball Bearing Pivot System and Deadbolt® lock—stand back as it quickly and smoothly deploys, locking into place to withstand even the toughest jobs. You’ll see soon enough how it’s rightfully earned its namesake.

Clever Girl™ Deadbolt®

Compact, Concealable and Ready for Action. Drawing on decades of martial arts experience and teaching combat tactics to the world's most elite soldiers and law enforcement, James Williams developed the HZ4–a close quarters battle knife made for the modern warrior. Paying tribute to the hira-zukuri–a classical Japanese straight sword–the HZ4 leverages the same powerful cutting power of longer HZ6 fixed blade, but now in a more compact and concealable form with a total blade length of 4.75”. The Japanese-style tanto blade is made from tough SK-5 carbon steel with a black coating for covert carry and is devastating when used for slashing and penetrating. The textured G10 handle provides excellent grip even in wet conditions and with gloved hands, while the versatile Kydex sheath can be carried discreetly thanks to a high-retention modular clip. An excellent choice for combat and self-defense, the HZ4 makes it easy to be a modern-day warrior.
