Designed by James Williams, the CRKT Hissatsu Folder line incorporate the company's OutBurst assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after officers have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. If required, the OutBurst mechanism can be quickly disabled with a single setscrew.
Both sizes also use a CRKT 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 Teflon-plated stainless steel clip can be quickly and easily mounted right- or left-handed with a single screw, yielding knives that are truly ambidextrous. On the larger model, a 3.875-inch blade length (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 Teflon coating.
As the blade is opened it locks automatically with an AutoLAWKS safety. This makes the Hissatsu Folder a virtual fixed blade instantly, which is important in high-stress rapid-deployment situations.
The CRKT smaller model has a satin-finished 3.125-inch blade for easier concealed carry. It weighs only 3.6 ounces. Because some operators prefer it, the company have used its 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.
