OT Hissatsu Knife

It is a neat-looking knife.
Remember, YOU are the market, not all of those military forces they mentioned.

I don't know if it is a good soldier's knife or not. The Ghurkas might have a thing or two to say about it.

Even SEALs tell me that they don't actually use their knives for fighting very much, almost never, in fact. What they need are good camping knives, like HI khukuris.
 
I have one and it is really pretty neat. They just came out with the same knife with a black TiN coating that looks even better (check out Dante's Knife for both models.)

This is a very fast knife, especially with a reverse grip, and razor sharp is a serious offensive and defensive weapon. The kydex scabbard is well made and adjusts several different ways. The grip could be nicer, but would drive the price higher, and they wanted to keep the price just below $100.

Cool design IMO.

Tnx.

It's the just constant but gentle tug of war between you knife fanatics and the wood cutters. I'm a wood cutter/ hiker. Some of you guys are...well...uh... I could have used one of you for a friend that day in the Cafe I got my skull fractured.

My M14 bayonet looks pretty mean, but I'm guessing isn't as light and flexible as the silver stealth killer in the photos.

I only own one killer blade, really, if you get past knowing all blades are 'killer'; and that's the Cherokee Rose. I only got that because a friend and another friend sort of put a trail in front of it for me, and of course, because Life's Cheap Out Here in the Mo. River Breaks....

You know, Semper, I'd feel a whole lot better if you'd post here more often. You're missed.

True. All knives can be weapons even the ones that primarily cut wood. :)

I still think that dayumed knife looks like a fish fillet blade.

Thank you for the kind comment. Like others here I have been busy with lots of things lately other than the computer.
 
My mother in law gave me a Cutco Fishing knife several years ago- yep- it looks like the stealth killer alright.

Kinda makes me think stealth killers should just buy the 10 dollar fillet knives found on the counter of any hardware store in Spring. Then they could use it and lose it....

Two years ago I got drunk and approached the ass-9p;i1 neighbor who'd blocked our mutual drive way with his pickup, making my then pregnant 40 year old wife walk down hill on a ice encrusted road. I was still sore about that, even though on that evening I pounded on the wall of his home until he moved the truck. I'd flipped this guy off recently, because my truck was stuck on the road no one would plow free of snow because they were afraid of him.

I apologized, recieved a lot of verbal nonsense, one thing led to another and I grabbed him and did hit him. He then knocked me out with a coffee mug he had in his hand, beat my head in, fracturing everything, and when I came to, I naturally wanted to repay his kindness and he struck me down with a chair. This fractured my right eye.

He told everyone in the ignorant village who would listen to his sociopathic yarn that he just lost his temper, 'and what would you do if someone hit you?" He did not mention the mug or chair. I did not press charges, as I felt I'd started it. It took nearly this amount of time for me to put together everything that had happend. If I'd known about the chair afterwards, I would have let the police jail him as they'd wanted. I'd intended to sue but am face to face with this reality: if I do, I am opening a can of grief. This man is unmarried unemployed, with no family ties, kills small animals and tortures them, and any conflict between us is eventually likely to be lethal. He is insane, and currently burning trash out side so as to not pay the 150 trash bill on his county taxes. He has no water, refusing to pay for it, and his pipes have burst because he was hauled to jail once too often and was unable to take care of it.

All my options are bad, he has little or no money. I will probably never forget or forgive myself for not doing something about this, but I love my wife and children, and do not wish to be either dead or in jail.
The anniversary is coming up, and my last opportunity to bring suit will soon expire.

The doc just told me it looks like my eye will not require surgery. I will never again be able to shoot as well as I once could, and have difficulty reading.

I'm not happy, and that damn easement trouble which started this will soon be resolved- I hope. When that happens, I'm hoping for more closure than I have now. But make no mistake- this man see's himself as the victim- I'm stealing his land by wanting access to my home on a road shared by both our properties. But he does leave us and most eveyonelse alone.

Unlike many here I admire very much, I have many dark thoughts, but will never live them out. It's just not in me. I often think many of you are simply better and braver than I.

Life for me is eating **** too often, and living with the results.

I wish I had something better to say, but I do love my wife and boys, and can't lose them for this peice of human garbage.

If it's any consolation, I laugh at him, smiling, and he hates my guts. I don't seem to have the proper kowtow he expected after getting my just deserts. He is 6'2" and weighs about 400 pounds. He is not weak, and very quick. But I'm a threat.
Sorry to bother you all with this.

Not a bother at all, I asked about it.

Sometimes you have to deal with people like that or youll wish you had later on. A sound beating can be the only way to make some people behave themselves. But I'm sure that having a wife and kid makes it much harder. You have to think about them before putting yourself into danger.

Be careful Munk.
 
Munk, I don't even know what to say to that other than it's a bad deal and you handled it in a proper manner...whether it was the best manner or not would really depend on the individual living it and you have to answer that for yourself, but it was certainly proper. I'm sure you've heard it before, but from the sound of it that guy is digging his own hole.
 
And for the Hissatsu: why aren't the purists groaning at the lack of a guard?

I've made enough inflammatory comments over the last day or two (and am staying out of a certain thread for that reason) that I'll refrain from spouting my own thoughts on "fighting" knives and such, so I'll leave it at this: I trust Norm's opinion on it but I don't see myself buying one.
 
It really does look like a fillet knife. I have a Hissatsu that i bought in a "oh what the hell" kind of mood. The only thing that I ever kill is paper and pool noodles:it is extremely effective on those. If I had a choice I would still much rather have my BAS.

Crap.


Let it go. You can't capture yesterday, nor re-live it. Hell, half the time we can't even remember it accurately. You don't live in fiction, but in reality. In reality, you are doing very well with spouse and kinder.

This brooding about injuries incured in the past was once one of my favorites hobbies. But anger is corrosive. It also distorts your perception of what is valueable and real. Your family, home, and you are valuable and real. Deal with them and the day you are living now, and jettison the past.

The Irish have a real problem with grudges, memories, and things nostalgic in general. We celebrate the past, brood over real or imagined injuries, and generally impede ourselves as we deal with today--the only reality we have.

My only ethnic joke is about the Irish:

Why does it take five Irishmen to change a light-bulb?

One to change the bulb, and four to remark about how grand the old bulb was.

Too accurate not to be funny.

Yesterday's gone. Let it stay gone.


Be well and safe, Buddy.
