Columbia River Knife & Tool is a great company to consider if you’re looking for compact or folding Hissatsu knives. You’ll find good quality, solid craftsmanship, and nothing to complain about.
This particular Hissatsu knife is called the Hissatsu Folder, and was designed by none other than James Williams, president of Bugei Trading Company. His specialties in martial arts give this folding knife a traditional Japanese flavor, even though it’s very modern-looking at the same time.
The blade is 3.875 inches long and is made from super-strong AUS 8 stainless steel. It’s coated with a black titanium nitride finish to make it even more resilient to the elements.
The Hissatsu’s handle is equally strong, since it’s made from blackened Zytel. Plus it also carries a couple of handy features like the Outburst Assisted Opening system and the Liner Lock mechanism.
The knife also comes with a locking belt clip that attaches to either the right or left side of the handle, whatever your preference.
While it might not be as affordable as some, we think it’s worth every penny. You get what you pay for and, in this case, you get the quality of CRKT in a package made with premium materials.
