Got a new knife today, a CRKT Hissatsu. Anybody familiar with it? Overall length is about 12 inches long and the blade is about 6 inches long. The entire knife and sheath is Desert Tan in color. The sheath is extremely practical. It is some kind of super hard/tough thermoplastic.
It has a detachable (with screwed rivets) belt holder and can be tied on to a back pack with either of two sets of strap slots or six grommet holes. I had never seen one of these prior to ordering and it looked smaller in the picture. I bought it primarily for use as a camp knife, but is has a very narrow area that is beveled along the cutting surface. It appears to be a steep bevel yet it is quite sharp but not shaving sharp. I'm not sure what the best way to sharpen it would be. I don't intend to change the grind and destroy the value of the knife. Coincidently, it has the absolutely sharpest point I have ever felt on a knife.
The knife really locks tightly into the sheath and takes a fairly strong tug to get out. Ideal for carrying upside down on a back pack strap.
Would like some input from you on the knife and on sharpening. Thanks
