Product Description
Most famous for his “System of Strategy,” James Williams of Encinitas, California is one who seriously knows his way around a tactical folding knife. Elegance and effectiveness are paramount in Japanese culture both when it comes to martial arts and classic weaponry. James’ expertise bridges the gap between the two and has inspired incredibly famous designs like the Hissatsu and the Otanashi Noh Ken.
The Gōken is aptly named—the Japanese word is reserved for only those that embody fortitude. This knife is a worthy addition to his tactical folding knife lineup with a classic James Williams modified Tanto blade style finished with a deep black powder coat. The 3.7” blade is deployed from its tough G10 handles with an inconspicuous flipper and held fast with a locking liner amid any dirty job it may confront.
As the first of Williams’ knives that’s been given Field Strip Technology, the Gōken is designed to come apart in the field with no tools for cleaning and simple maintenance…because what’s an everyday carry that doubles as a self-defense tool that can’t keep up in the face of grimy adversity?
