Then, renowned expert Chris Williams made several small suggestions. The revisions boosted the SiWi™ compact tactical fixed blade into a league all its own. This is collaboration at its finest.

Ramadi™ Fixed

More Than a Knife, It’s a Threat Extinguisher. A large folding tactical knife with our manual safety innovation, it’s specifically designed for one reason: to say sayonara to any evil that comes your way in close quarter battle environments. The Otanashi noh Ken™ is designed by the venerable James Williams of Encinitas, CA. A veteran and martial arts practitioner/instructor, he knows cutlery—especially the tactical variety. In fact, his knife designs have quickly become mainstays within the military Special Forces and tactical Law Enforcement communities across the globe. So when SOCOM needed a larger, thinner, folding combat knife that was easy to carry and conceal, Williams answered the call.
