CRKT Hisshou

[muzzleup]

On Friday I received my CRKT Hisshou and put it up to be one of my very best favorites...it is absolutly BEAUTIFUL!

What would you call it, a very large knife or a small wakizashi or large tanto?

This piece is the best thing I have ever seen come out of CRKT. It is sooo sharp that it is scary.

What is your opinions?

I'm in the middle of doing a write-up of one of these now. I'd say this really borders on short sword territory. It's a beautiful blade, and the cord-wrapped handle provides excellent traction. There are a few aesthetic choices I would have made differently -- the plastic collar at the top of the handle I would have made metal, had I the choice, and I don't really care for the grooves in the blade, but these are minor nits. It's a very nice, very large knife.

Pics of it in hand, for size reference? Is the factory sheath alright?

I own the little brother to that knife, the FB hissatsu...i think you made an awesome purchase! I think that the hisshou is deadly

 

[Phil Elmore]

The factory sheath is fine. It's a Kydex affair with plenty of mounting slots and holes for attaching hardware, plus its got a mounting plate of sorts that you could use to attach the knife on, say, a pack strap. The Hisshou also comes with a display box if you want to put it on your desk or a shelf or something when you're not using it.

I think it's beautiful! Nice purchase!

I would call it a large knife, and I'd love to see how well it performs as a chopper/ outdoors knife. But then it's so pretty I don't know if I could bring myself to abuse a knife like that!

 

[Phil Elmore]

This is not really an outdoors knife. Like the Hissatsu, it really is designed primarily to be used on people, politically incorrect as that's going to be perceived.

I started to buy this knife a couple of months ago, but backed out at the last minute. I finally decided that I "had to have" it, and have now commited to it with my dealer and will have it on the 25th of Nov. I know I have absolutely no use for this knife and it will probably only be pulled from it's sheath to admire and pamper, and to show friends/family. Sometimes you don't have to have a reason to get a knife, sometimes the knife just appeals to something within you, maybe your inner mall ninja, and you want for no other reason than to have it.:thumbup:

Why did I buy a Swamp Rat Waki? Same thing

I look forward to your review Phil.

maybe your inner mall ninja

Yup.

FYI the well-known youtube reviewer "Cutlerylover" recently made a video about it, including some cutting demos. The video is HERE.

It's indeed very pretty, but I have absolutely no use for it.
