Product Description
The CRKT Hisshou Tactical Sword is one insanely sharp, combat proven weapon. The 13" YK-30 high-carbon steel blade is honed to a razor sharp edge like you've never seen before! The handle is finished in the traditional Japanese method using a rayskin underlay wrapped in nylon cordage.
I've carried this blade in seven countries! It has never failed to do what It is made for. It is a beautiful blade, the metal is a perfect mix Which allows it to flex but stay extremely sharp and the kydex sheath is Perfect it allows the blade to be carried as a weapon should be according To the gear for the mission! This is my blade there are many like it but This one is mine! Thank you Mr. Williams and BudK.

Heavenly Hisshou
This is an absolutely magnificent knife. The steel is superior, the workmanship is flawless, the design is incredible. I have a -lot- of knives but this one stands out as one you'd want to have with you when the s.h.t.f.. Even my huge Bowies' and Kukris' will have to take a back seat to the Hisshou when it comes to combat. It is -the- way to go.

This modern day sword is one of the best, sharpest, and most beatiful swords you can get for around $200. When using this blade be extremely careful it is the sharpest knife I have ever seen. I am a somewhat serious knife/sword collector and this Hisshou along with my Dragon Fly Wakazashi by Cold Steel are my favorites and gems of my collection/ arsenal. I actually cut my thumb severly while camping in the woods, while being an idiot and using this blade to open a target to shoot at with my 22-250 Remington. Only use this blade for serious or Life or death situations. The only draw back of this blade is the plastic guard that does not adequatly protect your hand if you are not trained or practiced with this blade. I believe this is the perfect model of what a deadly, affordable, and practical 21st century sword should be. Its design, accessability, and deathly beauty are perfect for present day self-defense on any battlefield with enemies within 20 feet with or without a gun.

You pay for what you get, it's an amazing quality sword and came razor sharp. I actually shaved with it one morning.

A great buy. I spent a little out of my price range to get it, but it was worth it. It came as sharp as advertised, and heavy for the size. The handle is made very nicely, like it's supposed to be, with the ray skin wrapped tightly around the metal, and the chord wrapped so tightly that I can't even budge it.

Hisshou
This knife is definitely worthy of review. This isn't your everyday have-to-go-cut-something knife. This is a knife meant for only 2 purposes. One is to show it off to everyone who likes knives and make them jealous. Secondly and most importantly this knife is meant to take lives, plain and simple. It was with that in mind that James Williams made this knife for those in the armed forced to have something they could resort to in a SHTF situation. With that said, this knife is, simply put, gorgeous.
