Columbia River CRKT Inazuma Assist 3.68" Spear Point

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.

About the Designer

James Williams is a former U.S. Army officer with over 45 years of experience in numerous martial arts disciplines. He knows cutlery as President of Bugei Trading Company, producer of fine Samurai swords. He is an expert in both ancient and modern martial arts and has developed The System of Strategy, a unique approach to unarmed combatives based on the ancient samurai system of close-quarters combat. He is internationally known as a trainer of special operations units, government agencies, and law enforcement organizations, both foreign and domestic. James teaches combatives, self-defense, low-light tactics, and firearms. James is the designer of the Hisshou, Hissatsu Fixed Blade, and Folder. He comments, that for tactical purposes, "The fixed blade is superior to the folder in every respect. Our goal with the Hissatsu Folder was not to replace the fixed blade knife, but rather to offer the best alternative possible when circumstances demand other options."
