Product Description:
Columbia River Hissatsu Non-Reflective Finish James Williams the designer of the Hissatsu is a former Army officer and martial arts practitioner/instructor with over 40 years of experience. He knows cutlery as President of Bugei Trading Company producer of fine Samurai swords. As one who has trained tactical law enforcement and military forces for the Surefire Institute he has developed a unique and powerful approach to unarmed combatives. His system of defensive tactics known as The System of Tactical Strategy has its origins in the ancient Samurai military systems as well as the Russian military art of Systema. A key part of this system is the Hissatsu based on an old Japanese design. The unique shape of the blade made famous by the legendary Samurai warlord Takeda Shingen provides enormous penetrating power and superior slashing capability in one blade which works with the natural motion of the body. James arrived at this modern version as a backup weapon for close quarters combat. This is a focused single purpose knife for use in anti-terrorist/close quarters battle (CQB) environments either as a primary or a secondary weapon to augment the handgun in the hands of trained professionals. With proper training the Hissatsu can also be used as a non-lethal take-down and restraint tool using aki jujutsu skeletal locking techniques. The Hissatsu's dual grind Tanto blade is tough 440A stainless steel. For those who prefer a non-reflective finish this 2907K is available with a black EDP blade. The handle is in a traditional Japanese pattern but is Twin-Fused double injection molded with a high impact polypropylene core butt and hilt and a non-slip Kraton handle surface. Oyatsubo the emperor node on the omote (outside/public side) of the tuska (handle) allows you to know which direction the blade is facing even in compromised lighting conditions by touch. The custom injection molded black Zytel sheath grips the knife firmly and has a r

The first time I ever saw this knife I thought it looked weak and disproportional, like the handle was too fat and the blade too thin, but it is actually nothing close to that. The handle fits very nicely in your hand even though there are no grooves for you fingers or anything of the sort. The blade is actually very sturdy and I'd say nearly an 8th of an inch thick, but I would not recommend using it for prying or any sort of daily task. Once you take it out of the package you understand that the purpose of this knife is combat or self defense. The edge of the blade itself is fairly sharp out of the box, but the tip is what I consider the most impressive and would hate to be the guy who pissed someone off that carries one. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating is the sheath system. The sheath itself is very sturdy despite what I've read in other reviews, but I ran into a problem with the plastic belt "strap", I'm not sure what else to call it. Any way the genius who designed it apparently thought it wasn't neccessary to make the holes in the rigging system big enough for the screws it comes with to fit through. I solved the problem by using a drill bit to bore them out a little and now it works fine, but its not something that you can use for concealed carry, not that you can easily conceal it any way but if you happen to run into the man woman or child that designed the sheath system please tell "it" that it is very very stupid. Overall the Hissatsu fixed blade is an outstanding knife built for penetration, use with caution.
