Review: Coltello non tascabile. Lama impressionante, per potenzialità di penetrazione fa impallidire tutti gli altri... eccetto quelli della stessa linea CRKT. Unico difetto il grip scarso.
Review: It's not too often that you come across a dagger-like defensive blade that, when thrust into the body, will penetrate like the dickens, but is also an effective slasher. If you're carrying a blade for serious business, then there are some serious issues you need to consider, and you can't be queasy about it. First, the single most dangerous thing you can do with a blade is stab with it. As the late, great Ernie Franco (a renowned knife-fighting expert and trainer said) "Slashes are ugly but it's the body-blows that kill." By 'body blow' he meant thrusts. Or stabs. That's how you dig deep and hurt vital organs that will take someone out of the fight the fastest. For that reason I've always been extremely partial to thin-bladed daggers exemplified by the Sykes-Fairbairn and, above all, the Case V-42. There isnt a single organ in the human body you can't reach with either of those with a single well-placed thrust. I've seen people cut or stabbed to death (I was a metro police officer) and the DOA I saw that died the fastest was a man who took a single thrust in the upper arm that went between bicep and tricep and severed the (if I'm remembering correctly) brachial artery. He went down like he'd been struck by lightning. Same for a kidney blow and a few other gruesome things I've seen that I will not go into. By contrast, I've seen people literally slashed to ribbons in the face, arms, and torso who nonetheless walked to the EMS truck and climbed up under their own power. Slashes are shockingly ugly, and they're scary, and they hurt, but unless you plan to fully flay your attacker it's not the fastest way to end an attack. So for my money, above all a defensive knife should be primarily good for the thrust. That's not to say slashing and cutting are not useful. They are, primarily defensively. As in to get someone off you, to back them away, and if you can hit their wrists and hands enough, or can cut their heads above their eyes, blood flow will make it difficult for them to keep up their attack. And may convince them to back away, GTFO, and leave you alone. The problem with knives like the V-42 is that those acute points that make them so great on the thrust can be a real problem in a slashing defense. Rather than just passing through the flesh there's always a very real risk that the point will dig in to bone or cartilage and snatch that knife right out of your hands. The Hissatsu is the best of both worlds. It's long, and thin, and has an acute point that will penetrate most tissue. But it has just enough of a swept-back edge to enable the user to slash with it without a huge risk of snagging and coming out of your hand. For my money, for most defensive purposes, the Hissatsu is the perfect blade. Now there's something to be said for having a heavy Bowie or other massive-bladed knife, because that brings another tactic into play that simply isn't possible with lighter knives: chopping. Believe me that one or two hard hits with a kukri in the right places will end a fight almost as fast as a kidney or heart thrust with a V-42. But that's another category and I don't know about anyone else, but I find a kukri or a big Bowie a bit hard to conceal on my person when I'm wearing my khakis for work or tooling about town. One thing that I was worried about with the Hissatsu was that the blade looked exceedingly fragile. I've noticed that in questions and comments other potential buyers were worried about the fragile-looking blade. Well, the first time you get your hands on one, you will dismiss that particular worry. The blade is actually quite thick, and that thickness carries quite close to the point. Not so thick that it interferes with cutting or slashing or penetration, but more than robust enough for any defensive purpose. I usually call people who use their knives for things like prying open wooden cases or opening tuna cans idiots who should be wearing a tool belt instead. But yeah, you could probably pry open a wooden crate with the Hissatsu, or cut open a tuna can, without damaging the blade. I feel confident that I could probably start punching holes in a car body or a steel oil drum with it without banging it up too bad. I'm sure the point would break eventually, but I have no doubt it would take ten or twenty thrusts before anything like that happens. I know that might be a little hard to believe just looking at the pictures of the knife. But if you get the chance to handle one you'll see for yourself. It's one tough mother. But still dainty enough to penetrate deep with little effort. As I said before, I can't think of another blade I own, and I own a lot of them, more suitable to the purpose of self-defense than my Hissatsu. I love the blasted thing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Blade length?**
A: Of course, the blade length is not only listed in the description but also directly on the Crkt website. I own two so here you go, 7.13" (180.98 mm) You’re welcome.

**Q: full tang?**
A: Yes, it is full tang. It is a full tang blade. It has a  fully rubberized handle

**Q: Does it come with mole attachment device**
A: It comes with a sheath

**Q: Any concerns with the use of 440a steel especially with this length of knife?**
A: No I wouldn’t be concerned only because I know James Williams who designed it and trained military in the use of blades in hand to hand combat. If he used this particular steel in this weapon, he most likely trusted that the steel befitted the blade.

This is a very cool knife..but not an every day carry, not a utility knife or something to use for every day practical purposes. I'd say this is purely one for self defense and primarily to intimidate and scare the bejeebuz put of a person wanting to confront you. The handle is a good material providing an exceptional grip with almost zero chance of slip even wet. Nice form for fitting into most any size hand. People "critiquing" the grip...you're not a samurai, this isn't made for Japanese royalty, this is a very high quality blade for the price with a purpose in mind blade design and at a very reasonable price point. This knife...."it will keeeellllll".
