Knifemaker James Williams honors the hira-zukuri, a classic Japanese straight sword, with the HZ6. Dating back to the 8th century, the hira-zukuri blade was initially favored in daggers, functioning as a powerful “short” sword for survival and everyday use. True to its origins, the HZ6 is designed for contemporary warriors, expertly crafted to meet modern demands.
