The CRKT Black Tactical Hissatsu features a unique blade shape made famous by the legendary Samurai warlord Takeda Shingen. It gives maximum pentrating power and amazing slashing capability which works with the natural motion of the body. James WIlliams, the designer, arrived at this modern version as a backup weapon for close-quarters combat. This is a focused single-purpose knife for use in anti-terrorist/close-quarters battle (CQB) environments, either as a primary or a secondary weapon to augment the handgun in the hands of trained professionals. The Hissatsu's dual grind Tanto blade is 440A stainless steel with a black tactical finish. The handle is in a traditional Japanese pattern, but is Twin-Fused, double injection-molded with a high-impact polypropylene core, butt and hilt, and a non-slip soft textured black rubber grip handle surface. Oyatsubo, the emperor node on the omote (outside/public side) of the tuska (handle), allows you to know which direction the blade is facing, even in compromised lighting conditions, by touch. The custom injection-molded black glass filled nylon sheath grips the knife firmly and has removable belt clips which can be attached high or low, vertical or horizontal with the black two-piece screws provided. There are also holes and slots for carry on belts, webbing or equipment. SPECIFICATIONS: Blade: Length: 7.125" Thickness: 0.2" Steel: 440A Overall: 12.25" Weight: 8 Ounces Handle Material: Double Injection Glass Filled Nylon/Soft Textured Rubber Grip
