Description
We recommend you keep these blades (in particular) well oiled to be ready in the field at a moment’s notice. James followed centuries of Japanese tradition in designing these classic cord-wrapped handles with ray skin underlays, which compares well to more modern handle materials, giving excellent grip under all conditions. Sheaths are custom-fitted molded PVC with their own convertible belt-mounting system. Grip detents and flaired entry lips allow the knives to be resheathed securely with one hand. A belt clip can be attached, and there is also a quick-release retaining strap. The Hisshou®, Shinbu™ and Sakimori™ knives command great respect, and are truly meant for today’s military professional.
