Columbia River Knife & Tool Hissatsu Description

Hissatsu, Kraton Handle, Plain, Zytel Sheath

The Columbia River Knife and Tool (CRKT) Hissatsu™ was designed by former Army officer and martial arts instructor, James Williams. The CRKT Hissatsu is based on an old Japanese design and has a unique shape of the blade, made famous by the legendary Samurai warlord Takeda Shingen. This unique shape provides enormous penetrating power and superior slashing capability in one blade, which is designed to work with the natural motion of the body. The CRKT Hissatsu™ is intended to serve as a modern version as a backup weapon for close-quarters combat. The Hissatsu™ is a focused single-purpose knife for use in anti-terrorist/close-quarters battle (CQB) environments, either as a primary or a secondary weapon.

The CRKT Hissatsu™ features a dual grind Tanto blade made of 440A stainless steel and is high satin finished. The Hissatsu™ 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 Zytel® sheath grip the knife firmly, and have removable belt clips which can be attached high or low, vertical or horizontal with the black two-piece screws provided. There are also holes and slots for carry on belts, webbing or equipment.

The CRKT Hissatsu is designed specifically for use by trained law enforcement and military tactical team professionals. Enormous power in a light, flat package makes for easy carry with many options for placement on tactical gear.
