Gear Review: James Williams Talks About The Knives He Designed For CRKT

Cool Stuff: Hissatsu Folder
I like this knife a lot, and this is what I carry. It is well built, and pretty evil looking. It is not a field knife though, and I only recommend this knife as a defensive weapon for street carry (I recommend a multi-tool and a tough folder for field work) If you are a fan of the large Hissatsu knives, then you will like this more compact version of the knife. There are two locking mechanisms, and this has an opening assist mechanism(that can be removed if you want). I would definitely recommend getting used to deploying this knife, and add a drop of good knife oil in it every once in awhile. I would rate this as another quality product from CRKT and the Bugei Trading Company. –Matt

James Williams is actively involved in teaching Military special operations and government security professionals who must at times perform their daily high-risk duties in environments which do not allow them to carry firearms or a large fixed blade knife such as the Hissatsu–. At training sessions and demonstrations, they have asked James to design a folder with the defensive power of the Hissatsu that can be a concealed carry in a pocket or clipped comfortably under a jacket. The result is the CRKT Hissatsu– Folder. Blade length is 3.875″, which is safely under the legal limit in most jurisdictions, while blade finish is non-reflective black Teflon® coating.
