CRKT Military Hissatsu Folder

September 14, 2007

This particular folder was created in response to a request by military and government security professionals for a reliable defensive weapon that could be carried without violating certain local carry laws.  In many jurisdictions and in many security jobs, security professionals are restricted from carrying firearms and fixed blade weapons.  This Hissatsu Folder was designed for men and women on the front lines of security by James Williams who is actively involved with the teaching of military and security professionals.  During his training a number of individuals indicated that they needed the performance of the standard CKRT Hissatsu fixed blade knife, but in a folder that they would be actually allowed to carry.

In response to that request, James Williams and CKRT came up with this reliable defensive weapon that features a 3.875" stainless blade that has a length that is allowable in many jurisdictions and job locations.  This premium blade is designed to open with lighting alacrity featuring the Columbia River Knife and Tool's own patented Outburst assisted opening mechanism, which helps the blade spring into action.  The speed with which the blade deploys is a great advantage for people on the front lines of defense where seconds count. And the blade itself is designed for defense with a Samarai styled blade that is excellent for slashing and penetrating.   For those locations where the assisted opening is definitely forbidden, then the Outburst technology can be disabled with the turn of a screw or the model 2903Q can be purchased which is a standard manual folder.

And this blade has been designed with safety and performance in mind.  When deployed, the blade locks automatically with the CRKT patented AutoLAWKS safety.  This reliable and robust locking mechanism gives you the strength approximating a fixed blade, especially when combined with the thick 0.059" stainless steel liners.  This tactical folder comes complete with an ambidextrous carry clip and black Zytel scales.  If you are in need of a no nonsense professional tactical knife in a folder design, then this particular knife has been made with you in mind.
