HZK 005 | Hira Zukuri Kaiken 4.5”

Our HZK is back, made in the USA by our friends at Primitive Woodsman in Boone, NC. Based on the same design platform as our larger HZT and HZO, the HZK series is a compact knife perfect for EDC. With a 4.5” blade, and low-profile lined kydex sheath, it is easy and comfortable to carry. 80CrV2 carbon steel and a pinned micarta handle make for battle-tested reliability. An excellent companion for both outdoor and tactical environments. The HZK 005 batch features black canvas micarta for excellent texture and grip.
