OZF 003 S | Osoraku Zukuri Folder Operator Edition

Based on modified CRKT Otanashi folders that were used extensively by Special Mission units in recent conflicts in non-permissive environments. This version of our OZF uses the same pocket opening mechanism they adapted to the Otanashi and has a completely sterile blade. The blade runs on brass washers for easy cleaning in the field. The knife comes with optional thumb stud that can be set up either right or left handed. We have pared down the outer profile while increasing the blade length to a full 4.5" for a streamlined design that fits perfectly in the hand and gives you the most usable blade length in the discreetest format possible. We chose a carbon fiber from FatCarbon materials with the ideal strength to weight ratio, and combined it with a titanium frame lock for an absolutely solid package. The 3/16" thick MagnaCut blade provides excellent edge retention and toughness.
