The first time I ever saw this knife I thought it looked weak and disproportional, like the handle was too fat and the blade too thin, but it is actually nothing close to that. The handle fits very nicely in your hand even though there are no grooves for you fingers or anything of the sort. The blade is actually very sturdy and I’d say nearly an 8th of an inch thick, but I would not recommend using it for prying or any sort of daily task. Once you take it out of the package you understand that the purpose of this knife is combat or self defense. The edge of the blade itself is fairly sharp out of the box, but the tip is what I consider the most impressive and would hate to be the guy who pissed someone off that carries one. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating is the sheath system. The sheath itself is very sturdy despite what I’ve read in other reviews, but I ran into a problem with the plastic belt “strap”, I’m not sure what else to call it. Any way the genius who designed it apparently thought it wasn’t neccessary to make the holes in the rigging system big enough for the screws it comes with to fit through. I solved the problem by using a drill bit to bore them out a little and now it works fine, but its not something that you can use for concealed carry, not that you can easily conceal it any way but if you happen to run into the man woman or child that designed the sheath system please tell “it” that it is very very stupid. Overall the Hissatsu fixed blade is an outstanding knife built for penetration, use with caution.
