The Hissatsu utilizes a dual grind Tanto blade of 440A stainless steel with a desert tan finish. The handle is Twin-Fused, double injection-molded with a high-impact polypropylene core, butt and hilt, with a non-slip Kraton 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 injection-molded Zytel sheath grips the knife firmly and has removable belt clips with multiple carry options.
James Williams, the designer of the Hissatsu, is a former Army officer and martial arts practitioner/instructor with over 45 years of experience. He has developed a unique and powerful approach to unarmed combatives. His system of defensive tactics, known as The System of Tactical Strategy, has its origins in the ancient Samurai military systems as well as the Russian military art of Systema.
