{"product_id":"hzk-c01-hira-zukuri-kaiken-custom-4-5","title":"HZK C01 | Hira Zukuri Kaiken Custom 4.5”","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe HZK C01 continues our series of custom projects, bringing the same materials as our SZW C01 Hisshou to a limited pre-order run of our compact HZK. Hand built in North Carolina by our friends at Primitive Woodsman, with Copper Dark Mai steel from Baker Forge, and Copper Camo carbon fiber from FatCarbon materials. Baker Forge is an industry leader in copper Damascus, using a mix of 80CrV2 steel for performance, and copper for a striking look, they produce steels that are both beautiful and functional. The Copper Camo CF from Fat Carbon materials is one of their strongest carbon fiber offerings, and it pairs perfectly with the subtle copper line in the blade. Based on the same design platform as our larger HZT and HZO, the HZK is a compact 4.5” fixed blade perfect for EDC, carried in a low-profile Kydex sheath with an Ulti-Clip. The Kaiken (懐剣) kanji is a custom work from Shodō artist Koshin. Kaiken pairs 懐 (kai, the bosom or chest fold of a kimono) with 剣 (ken, blade), describing a short blade carried tucked inside the kimono for self-defense. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eShipping before Christmas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eSteel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e Baker Forge Dark Mai (Copper \u0026amp; 80CrV2 San Mai)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 4.5” | 114mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eBlade Width:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 0.94” | 24mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eBlade Thickness:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 0.165” | 4mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eBlade Shape:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e Hira Zukuri\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eFinish:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e Raw\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e Copper Camo from FatCarbon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 4” | 102mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 1.14” | 29mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eHandle Thickness:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 0.55” | 14mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 8.5” | 226mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eSheath:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e Kydex\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eClip:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e Ulti-Clip\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eBatch Number:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e C01\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eRelease date:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e December 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e Primitive Woodsman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eDesign:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e James \u0026amp; Christopher Williams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eMade in:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e Boone, NC USA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"williamsbladedesign","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67583767642225,"sku":"HZKC01","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1864\/0567\/files\/HZKC01-1.jpg?v=1790602777","url":"https:\/\/williamsbladedesign.com\/products\/hzk-c01-hira-zukuri-kaiken-custom-4-5","provider":"williamsbladedesign","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
