I just recently purchased a Hissatsu folder as a back up knife and it has proven itself worthy. It was a bit stiff out of the box but after some use it has loosened up. My only complaint is that it's a bit heavier than my standard carry knife (Mini CQC-15), but for it's purpose and design it's a great knife. Very pleased

I love my Hissatsu Folder I have had this knife for around three months now and I use it everyday. I have yet to need to sharpen it, which I think is very impressive. My only problem with it, is that the Teflon coating on the blade has been scratched off in one place, simply from opening it repeatedly with one hand. Despite that, I would absolutely recommend getting a Hissatsu Folder.

I am not a professional. Just a normal guy living in a higher than usual crime area. I think the Hissatsu Folder is the greatest. I never leave home without it. I have looked far and wide for a long time for a personel knife and luckily ran across this one. I highly recomend this knife. I feel very comfortable with the mechanics of the knife and it's size is perfect. Can't say enough about it. Good work James

This is a devastating tactical folder. The blade is purpose built for penetration, and is well matched with an exceptionally stout lockup and hand-filling grip.
Although the knife is designed to be fully ambidextrous, when deploying using the left hand, the thumb stud difficult to access. This problem can be easily remedied by shaving some material from the Zytel handle.
I also found the secondary safety mechanism (AutoLAWKS™ safety) found on the spine of the handle to be unnecessary. It can be easily removed without hindering the function on the primary locking mechanism.
AUS-8 steel is an excellent choice for this knife. It allows great impact strength with good edge retention. The Tanto style blade remains easy to sharpen due to the graceful blend of the dual ground blade.

I purchased this knife over a year ago. The other day I was coming back from work and had a motorcycle wreck. I ended up sliding on the Hissatsu folder. Other than some minor cosmetic damage the knife works the same as the day I got it It has been the best knife I have owned, and I intend to always have one.

nice knife. it is stiff but i think that is by design. i also think this knife was designed to be a serious 'operator' knife and as such you don't want it opening or closing too easily...once you learn it's mechanics you'll love it. very sharp.

Both the Hissatsu and Hissatsu folder are great knives that compliment each other. For someone that is in the military and has trained in martial arts for quite a long time, these knives definitely serve the purpose they were made for. Excellent blade strength, balance and feel, not to mention the devastating damage that can be doen to your enemy given the proper training make both these knives worth having. I cant wait till the Hisshou is available, I will be adding that to my collection as well.

I was quite disappointed in this knife. It is hard to open with one hand. I must use 2 hands to open the blade as the assist doesn't kick in until the blade is open about a third. The mechansim seems sticky and far from fluid. Once opened however the knife has an excellent heft to it and is very well balanced and robust.
