It is extremely easy to use and the design sits well in the hand to allow for a quick release of the blade. It has two locking mechanisms once opened to create a “full tang” feel and it is extremely sharp. Purchased as all around, last-resort safety measure while my significant other and I are out and about the city. Although it has never needed to be used in such a way (and I hope it doesn’t) it is a very imposing blade to have and would be well suited to the role of self-defense. It has got some weight to it so even if held in the fist you could deliver a solid blow. Love it and would purchase it again.

My first impression on this knife was ‘wow, it’s heavy’ and I like it.
The beautifully shaped blade is as wicked sharp and thick as other tactical knives I own. However, the blade came with a few blemishes; look like some foreign objects got on the blade while coating. I don’t particularly like the tiny flipper handle on the autoLAWKS system. I would rather have a plain liner lock with a much thicker liner.
The black Teflon coating on the blade scratches and comes off easily. Also, the blade has considerable amount of movements(mostly horizontal) when I wiggle its tip. I tightened up the pivot screw to reduce the movements and now it takes even more effort to open and close the blade.
The Zytel handle is as sturdy as other name brand folders I have and the texture on the handle is rough enough to get good traction. Again, opening/closing the knife take a bit more effort for it’s very stiff (still have sore thumb). But when it opens, it opens quicker than other A/O folders I have.
Overall, it’s well made knife for the price.

Excellent knife. Seems to be pretty well-rounded and all-purposed. I have used this knife so much and I can tell it will last the beatings and lack of maintenance to come. Very high quality knife that came sharp.
I’m liking the double-lock safety feature and the black finish. The spring open is a plus too.

The folding Hissatsu is a great knife to carry. I have carried a knife most of my life being home schooled and being in the boy scouts. Of all the knifes that I have own only my M16 zytel has come close. So I’ll compare the m16 Z. to the hissatsu. The first thing I noticed about the hissatu is that the clip is reversed. This mean that when you pull the knife out of your pocket that you don’t have to flip the knife around in order to open, this saves time. (m16 Zytel’s clip is normal) At first opening the hissatsu is hard than the M16 Z. which it still is by a little bit. I have never had a problem opening the M16 Z. So in a rush I would have to rate the M16 Z. as easier to open. As for cutting the Hissatsu win hand down. All in all I would give the hissatsu a 5 out of five and the M16 Z. a 4. 5 out of five.

I ordered this knife and ended up trading it for another CRKT knife from my son.
I had trouble with opening the knife – not a design flaw but my fingers are not able to do the necessary actions to safely open and close the knife.
I would recommend this and any other CRKT product who want quality working tools without paying an arm and leg!
