Hissatsu Folder PR

Folders designed by James Williams.

James Williams is actively involved in teaching Military special operations and government

security professionals who must at times perform their daily high-risk duties in environments

which do not allow them to carry firearms or a large fixed blade knife such as the Hissatsu™.

They asked James to design a folder with the defensive power of the Hissatsu that could be

carried in a pocket or clipped under a jacket.

The result is the CRKT Hissatsu™ Folder line. Both sizes incorporate our patented

OutBurst® assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you

have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. If required, the OutBurst mechanism can be

quickly disabled with a single setscrew.

Both sizes also use our stainless steel InterFrame build with stainless steel liners, one

locking, and black Zytel® scales, textured to provide a secure grip. A thumb disk allows rapid

opening with either hand, and the custom stainless steel clip can be quickly and

easily mounted right- or left-handed with a single screw, yielding knives that are truly

ambidextrous.

Hissatsu™ Folder. On our larger model, blade length is 3.875”, safely under the legal limit

in most jurisdictions. The blade shape is a classical Samurai design which gives outstanding

penetrating power as well as exceptional slashing performance. Blade steel is AUS 8 stainless

steel with nonreflective black coating.

As the blade is opened it locks automatically with our patented1 AutoLAWKS™ safety.

This makes the Hissatsu Folder a virtual fixed blade instantly, which is important in high-

stress rapid-deployment situations.

Hissatsu™ 2 Folder. New this year, our smaller model has a satin-finished 3.125” blade for

easier concealed carry. It weighs only 3.6 ounces. Because some operators prefer it, we have

used our patented2 LAWKS® safety on the Hissatsu 2. It creates a virtual fixed blade when the

LAWKS lever is actuated after the blade is opened and locked. It offers maximum penetrating

power in a compact package.

These tactical folders for professionals are overbuilt to last. For those who have a need to

use them, this is as much defensive security as you can find in a tactical folder.

MSRP is for the smaller model 2900 is only $69.99, while the larger 2903 is $99.99.
