In brief, this is a perfect example where form follows function. The blade is thick enough to feel strong (prying doors not advised), yet it comes to a very sharp point (tip of the blade), hence it is very good for penetration. The long sharp tip is also an intended design feature. Due to the mechanics of cutting, the curvature of the tip presents less contact area with the material as the blade moves through it (which results in less friction, requiring less force = the knife doesn't tend to get stuck on longer and deeper cuts / slashes). It was designed by James Williams for CRKT. It is a tanto design, and according to its designer and CRKT was designed as a tactical knife - read, its prescribed use is for hand-to-hand combat. It is not a utility or an every day carry knife, it is a combat blade designed for that same purpose. It looks great and it feels very comfortable when handled and held. Definitely a worthy buy!

It's a great knife. Great balance and feel but, it did not come very sharp from the factory. It's sharp enough to hurt someone but, Icouldn't cut paper easily with it. I had to take out my wet stones and sharpen it myself since it was too thick to use my hand held sharpener. If you're not good at sharpening knives or have no kife sharpening resource, you might want to think twice about getting this one.

I had just recently purchased the Columbia River Knife and Tool 2907 Hissatsu Knife- this knife is very strong and blade is very thick. the sheath is a good design however, the belt attachment leaves much to be desired- will it hold up in rugged combat? well the knife itself will for sure! Overall a very good and sharp product- only real issue I have is that I ordered the 2907 and I received 2907K- the black one!

Purchased this as a very specific single use knife. Knife arrived with a basic sheath and mounting hardware. It also arrived very sharp! I was a little worried about the edge due to the relative thickness of the blade but I can now see that this was designed by someone much smarter and more talented than I. The knife has a nice weight to it while still being very maneuverable. The grip is rubbery and textured for a good all around hold. The more I handle this knife, the more I enjoy it. Also the price is very good.

I agree with the other review, this is a awesomely-designed knife, but it came rather dull. I'm not sure why, I would think that CRKT could do better. This knife feels very good in the hand, and is nice and thick. Unlike many other designs, this one's tip is also quite durable, it is thick but very sharp at the same time (Not sure if that makes sense). I like the sweeping angle of the blade, it is great for slashing and has lots of cutting surface.

This would also make a good filet knife I think, but like I said, it did not come very sharp from the factory. It is a good knife for the price but needs some work. The sheath holds it well and securely, and can be easily attached to tactical gear with 550 cord.

Training with this, you can see how a fighter with a couple of these could take on a katana swordsman with a very high chance of success.

They stick to the hand to the point that they feel like natural extensions to the hand.

They're beautifully curved, incredibly sharp, and the handles hold on.

I have two of these, one of which the wife has in her office as another ultimate defense weapon, along with one of my razels. If she approves it, it's likely a good weapon. Oh, the wife is from Trinidad, and accustomed to cutlasses.
