Crafted with input from renowned designer James Williams, this knife embodies the perfect balance of form and function, making it an essential piece of gear for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
At the core of the HZ4 is its 4.75-inch modified tanto blade, inspired by the traditional Japanese-style tanto. Made from SK-5 tool steel, the blade delivers exceptional toughness and edge retention, ensuring reliable performance even under heavy use. The black titanium nitride-coated finish enhances the blade’s durability while adding a sleek, tactical look. This coating also provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring your blade stays sharp and ready for action in any environment.
The modified tanto design combines the piercing strength of a classic tanto with enhanced slicing capabilities, giving you a blade that excels in both combat and utility tasks. With a .13-inch blade thickness, the HZ4 strikes the ideal balance between durability and precision, making it a versatile choice for a variety of applications.
The knife’s full tang construction provides unmatched strength and stability, ensuring it can handle rigorous use without faltering. The handle is crafted from black G-10, a durable and lightweight material known for its exceptional grip and resistance to wear. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable and secure hold, even in wet or challenging conditions, while the triangular lanyard hole adds functionality and customization options.
To keep the HZ4 secure and accessible, it comes with a black Kydex sheath featuring a belt clip. This rugged sheath is designed to protect the blade during transport and offers multiple carry options, ensuring it’s always within reach when you need it. The slim, low-profile design of the sheath complements the knife’s overall aesthetics and functionality.
Weighing just 4.5 ounces and measuring 8.88 inches overall, the HZ4 is lightweight and compact, making it an excellent choice for those who need a reliable knife without added bulk.
