Williams Blade Design

Williams Blade Design. Father and son. Father – a well-known American Far East martial arts trainer, previously designing a new knife for the CRKT knife company, Son – proudly continuing and bringing a breath of fresh air to Father’s design work. The result are Williams Blade Design proprietary projects, which are finally known and appreciated in the knife industry by top-shelf knifemakers..

“Designed for those whose life depends on their tools” –  words well reflecting the spirit of Williams Blade Design‘s designs, indicate what the emphasis is on design work. Interesting shape, high-quality materials and full usability are certainly the main determinants of their activity.

First Full Integral FatCarbon Folding Knife

The knife is the result of international American-Lithuanian-Italian cooperation.

The OZF Spectral series is the culmination of a collaboration between Williams Blade Design (USA), FatCarbon Materials (Lithuania), and LionSteel (Italy) to produce the first production carbon fiber integral frame lock folder.  The new Spectral carbon fiber developed by FatCarbon allows for unparalleled lock bar retention, tested over 100,000 times with zero loss of resistence.  LionSteel is a pioneer of integral folder manufacturing, using their years of expertise we were able to maximize the potential of this new material. The result is a knife that is exceptionally lightweight, robust, and minimalist.

Excellent Materials And Refined Design

OZFS01 has a osokaru zukuri blade with high lat grind and satin finish, made of M390 premium steel. The blade is opened with a flipper and works on IKBS bearings.
