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 .87”, which is safely
under the legal limit in most jurisdictions, while blade finish is non-reflective
black Teflon® coating.
The blade shape is a classical Samurai design which gives outstanding
penetrating power as well as exceptional slashing performance. We have
used our premium AUS 8 stainless steel for the optimum in strength and
edge-holding ability with very good stain resistance.
For rapid deployment, we have incorporated our patented OutBurst™ assisted
opening mechanism which instantly springs the blade fully open after you
have opened the blade approximately 0 degrees. To meet jurisdictional
regulations, the OutBurst mechanism can be quickly disabled with a single
setscrew.
As the blade is opened it locks automatically with our patented Auto-LAWKS™
safety. This makes the Hissatsu Folder a virtual fixed blade, which is
important in high-stress rapid-deployment situations.
We have used a heavy-duty version of our stainless steel InterFrame build
with beefy 0.09” 0J stainless steel liners, one locking, and black
Zytel® scales, textured to provide a secure grip. A thumb disk allows rapid
opening with either hand, and the custom Teflon®-plated stainless steel
clip can be quickly and easily mounted right-or left-handed with a single
screw, yielding a knife that is truly ambidextrous.
Here’s a tactical knife for the professional that is overbuilt to last.
For those who have a need to use it, this is as much defensive security
as you can find in a tactical folder.
