[@crkt]

Hi Kaila - Thank you for reviewing the CRKT Sakimori designed by James Williams. We appreciate the feedback we get from you and the community. CRKT

[@603dougie603]

blown away by this knife. Its definitely got it all, O1 tool steel, .250" thick, kydex sheath, a Japanese style blade excellent for cutting and slashing yet rugged enough for camp chores. I love the grippy handle too very impressed, no need for a guard when the handle is that grippy. Tell CRKT they nailed it with this one.

[@mjrwey]

What is the fascination of splitting wood with a knife? Everyone seems to think a knife's ability to split firewood is the gold standard for testing them. Knives are made to cut. They make a very good tool for splitting wood however, an axe. All that aside, kudos to your knife making skills. Your skills def seem to be evolving with time.

[@175924]

It´s made for only one thing-killing enemies,nothing els

[@semdijkstra9784]

'ehhh why do you baton a knife? that's what an axe is for blahhhh' shut up and enjoy your knife

[@semdijkstra9784]

@Lee Harvey Oswald 😂😂 fuck off

[@EDGY12345]

Great Vid , good to see the lady's into collecting and using knives ! Don't have to worry about her safety !

[@candydodson1434]

Had me crying when I saw her using it on wood... >.

[@QQANDY]

Stupid woman! ˋ~ˊ

[@mitchellmendoza6765]

James Williams says you should be able to use his knives in such ways

[@websurfer352]

Candy Dodson Ohh man I agree!! I cried too!!

[@TheSauceManOG]

As much as knives are a beautiful, ultimately they are tools. If anything it is a testament to the utility of the knife. Also hitting the back of a knife with a piece of wood is viable method to cut down trees and has been done for centuries.

[@VulgarHands]

Wow, so beautiful. I love it. I had no idea this thing existed. It's perfect. Thanks for the recommendation and video.

[@donc5220]

Love the Sakimori!! Looks like a good hunting companion

[@todome1]

I just placed an order for a Sakimori, as I love Japanese style cord-wrapped handled knives, and CRKT is one of my favorite production knife companies. It's a little bit bigger of a knife than I had initially thought, but looks nice and will work well for me. Thanks for the video. Thumbs up.

[@MyfriendscallmeAjax]

great review as always... and MORE respect from Texas!

[@wildyracing1]

There is something exciting about mixing girls and weapons :) Great video, by the way!

[@TietLung]

Was never a crkt fan before, but mostly cause i never really gave them a chance. But i picked up the foresight model and liked it, and then saw the model of this knife with the 12" blade and loved it.

[@cleetusvd072]

Beautiful knife, a little to much for my budget but I really like seeing your review of it anyway. I love the Japanese styling of the knife and the detail of the work. As always your videos are informative and entertaining. Thank you!

[@NATEaBERGERturtle1]

that thing is beautiful! and i cant believe it held up to the testing

[@HARMARSCH2]

Great review,that is a helluva knife. Reminds me of a small Samurai Sword.

[@lylesmith6304]

A little late to thr party, but this perfect for me. I hope that I can still get it. GREAT REVIEW !!!!!

[@chipoftheundead]

Thanks that's a useful video. Using it for bushcraft stuff is a bit like cutting a tree down with an uzi in that it is possible but why do it.... still it does demonstrate it's strength and sharpness. I was wondering if there's a worry of your hand running up onto the blade without there being any kind of guard?

[@Hypurman1]

+chipoftheundead I was thinking the exact same thing!! Torture test is one thing, but why use the tool for something it wasn't meant for? "So, I was able to use this applesauce to de-rust and polish this engine. And it tastes great!!"

[@chipoftheundead]

+Hypurman1 OMG..... such a good idea!

[@MightyEleazar]

The CRKT Japanese influenced knives are beautiful! I have a full set of the old First Strikes.

[@THEMERCIFULONE]

I didnt know you could Baton with it.... I always thought of it more as weapon only. Cool! Thanks for the vid!!

[@JStation3]

Good demo vid! I stick all my Williams/CRKT blades in my waistband just like you do. Front or back, works equally well, even with bigger ones like Shinbu. Hissatsu will actually slide completely into an empty belt-loop and stay there even when running around. It's my favorite for that reason alone.

[@JStation3]

PS: Curious how resharpening that blade was like, after hard use. Thanks!

[@unclecow]

great review

[@patricegarnierlobo25111967]

good review and nice knife

[@Running-Brave]

Beautiful. I think the knife is cool, too.

[@ldgrey1963]

My kind of Lady...She LOVES knives, and she MAKES knives!!!! good review, now I want one!

[@chipdouglas35]

Indeed, this is a very nice blade - I used to have the Hisshou by the same maker.

[@ronaldmcdonald9379]

FYI it's not meant for chopping down trees

[@BladeObssession]

Bad ass blade. Love crkt and love women who love weapons. Two thumbs way up

[@r1pbuck]

I prefer the Shinbu as a close-combat knife, but the Sakimori is pretty darn nice as it is. I particularly like the sheath. I wish James Williams' other blades came with similar options...the adjustable tension koiguchi is nice, and the overall shape is a little slimmer and neater. Good review!

[@305ssmonte]

Really like your review now I want to get one,but I won't be using it as a utility blade.Ni ce to know that it can be used as such.Thank you for the your video.

[@AmPatriotSupplies]

I read an article a few years back regarding firearms storage - specifically about coating the metal parts with oil. Basically the guy said how you would not think of pouring oil all over your car to prevent it from rusting. He uses paste wax to coat his firearms and knives. I've done this with some of my blades (the ones that sit in the safe for a long time) and have been happy with the results. Don't know if there could be any negative affects with certain metals or finishes though.

[@knice7359]

Hi Kaila, It's amazing to see just how far you've came along making knives,CRKT will soon be making your designs. Keep grinding away! P.S. Kaila, that knife is too nice to be used for batoning wood and clearing brush. It's much more of a collector's piece.imho.

[@jamesbond6120]

James williams actually said himself it can be used to baton an such(first and foremost a self defense wepon ofcourse)

[@xXxCatsnakexXx]

The high end CRKT stuffs getting pretty nice...

[@sfbulldogg1]

Love that knife ma'm !

[@stealthyspider]

Wish it had a guard. Nice review.

[@justinprather8846]

Battoning! I'm glad it survived, but this knife is to pretty for that. I always thought of it as strictly a fighter.

[@Cal4mity]

James Williams recommended the sakimori for utility use as well as combat, even remarking at how well it batons.

[@jaylane82]

Yes fantasy. As in very nice with an artistic relic look. Something you could put on a mantel or use. Fantasy!

[@TheGrizzlyHillbilly]

I'm sure you already know this but while you're chopping hold the handle with just your thumb and index finger. you get a lot more leverage that way. also its nice to put some 550paracord as a lanyard

[@troman5000]

Sweet knife...xlnt review...Thanks, gonna get one...

[@crkt]

jroberts1824 - No, that would be fine. Just the humidity has an effect on high performance high carbon steels like 01 Tool Steel. Thank you for your question! CRKT

[@christopherc7687]

Looks like it'll do similar work to a bowie. I've got one in O1 steel. For the 'haters' out there, it doesn't physically matter where a knife is made. It matters how it's made, and the quality control. I've gotten 'bad' stuff from China, and 'good' stuff. I have so far never gotten a lemon from CRKT. I've got some American-made knives, and generally when you have two knives made of similar steels, with similar designs, made by different countries, they will perform about as well, if they're made properly. The Sakimori is made properly. Any knife can be abused, though. The best way to ensure your knife keeps doing what you need it to is to know what you want to do with it, and don't try to do something common sense tells you not to do. A fighting knife is a fighting knife, and a utility knife is a utility knife. Barring very few exceptions, one will not consistently do the work of the other. Great review.

[@kickorybot]

That Is one great knife.

[@archer866]

Thank you for the review. I appreciate you showing the knifes utility purposes since some people think it is strictly a fighting knife. Best review on KZbin. Thank you!

[@davidbruceclark]

Good review. Looks like your fingers are nearly healed :)

[@wolfman011000]

the sheath looks very similar to my SOG Gov-Tac. the O1 tool steel does put me off as i live in a damp climate and previous O1 blades have rusted like a SOB despite mineral oiling the blades. Dura coating the blade maybe an option but it would ruin it's looks. Even if Crkt ever comes out with an SS version i would most likely not get it, i would prefer something like the Fallkniven A1 for the money. Thanks for the review was informative and interesting.

[@xkird101]

i like the way you batoning

[@tylerdare4768]

in my go bag i carry small ziplocks with cut sheets of paper soaked with oil. no need to worry about bottles opening and just use and toss.

[@VipermanGT2]

Just FYI. I would recommend putting some type of safety lanyard on that knife if you're using it for that kind of work specifically. Better to be safe than slice your leg or foot or something.

[@nicholasramirez2541]

I can tell youre experience level in outdoor skill is quite good, ill even admit they are better than mine...that being said trying to save you from injury, I used to set my knife like you do before batoning by chopping it into the top, I learned real quick not to di it that way when I missed the wood and hit my pointer finger, it sliced me to the bone! so just some friendly advice in concern, not trying to sound like a know it all but I did unfortunately learn that the hard way, so I recommend not setting the blade that way...safety first, keep bringing the videos, I love them! :)

[@TKDLION]

You should look into splitting with wood wedges. It will prevent injuries to your self and your knife.

[@dalepak1955]

Cool video. I was wondering if you still used/own this knife?

[@warriorofsteel01]

its the perfect size for an outdoors knife

[@TheSaidame]

awesome knife X_X

[@ActionHero29]

Good review thx. My goodness. you are like the perfect woman, your passionate about blades, you're not afraid to get your hands dirty...and your gorgeous. ugh life is cruel lol. I sub'd, but only because I enjoy knife reviews ;)

[@darkinertia2]

CRKT posted this on their facebook!

[@behemothsuperknife]

Blows me away that a production company is using O1. Something I find is rare.

[@hyuugaamida]

防人 doesn't mean protector, at least not directly. It refers to soldiers that were stationed strategically in remote areas of Kyushu in the feudal era, probably as an early warning system against an invasion from the mainland.

[@markd7762]

I have the hisshou and it sits in the display case most of the time. It's too pretty to mess up lol.

[@xACACYNx]

I like the design of the Sakimori very much, but i have to say that for such a price, i would expect a higher quality handle. The traditional wraping is cool, but i dont like the plastic at the end of the handle... Feels and looks kind of cheap.

[@DHTHORNE]

xACACYNx I own the hisshou, and I would say it's the most rugged wrap I have ever encountered. It's not like the standard wrap you see on a Katana, even the highest priced once have a limited life span. While I agree, I would personally have prefered a more solid solution, like Micarta or some other scales, I believe James was clear on his Philosphy of Use for this series of blades. they are weapons first, and not really meant to be used as tools for other chores (the video shows you clearly CAN use them as such, but I would much prefer to use a BK like my BK9 or BK7 instead of one of these for camping chores.). That said, the cord wrap is actually one of the MOST secure and safe kinds of grip you can have on a combat "fighting" blade because of how much traction it gives you when it's done right. On the hisshou, the wrap feels almost like they used epoxy to keep it in place, and that little plastic collar bit isn't really going to get much abuse, it's mainly just a way to secure to the kydex. The pommel, while it is indeed wrapped by cord, is hard as a rock, and would do some serious damage if you bashed someone with it. Not as much as the exposed tang of a BK or many other knives would... but you get my point I think. Overall, if you use it as a combat knife, not a camp knife (except in extreme situations) this knife and the others in the line will serve you well.

[@jroberts1824]

Hey another ?...i want to buy the sakimori but I want the mounting clips the hissatsu comes with is there a way I can buy those seperatly?

[@jroberts1824]

Do you think it would rust even if its a collection knife? Just sitting and oil it every now and then

[@jroberts1824]

What are all the mounting options for this knife?

[@kailacumings]

They were weeds.

[@pkla14]

Is the sheath ambidextrous? I'm left handed and almost no sheaths are good for me.

[@lotus102d2000]

I am Japanese but thank you for being praised.

[@WeekendWarrior604]

Didn’t expect it to be a bushcraft knife 😵

[@jaylane82]

Cool vid. Fantasy knife. :-)

[@DemiDeity777]

Try the Shinbu. then a make a video about that.

[@samurai165]

Hey Kaila, when are you going to buy a CRK without the T, if you catch my drift

[@tengu190]

be doing any reviews of WIlliams sensei's dvds?

[@andrewdanger2830]

Great review, ignore the sexist comments.

[@AntonSemionov]

Damn, when I go camping I look like I just came back from a war zone and smell like I slept in a sewer, but Kaila, her hair looks like she's just out of the hair salon.

[@razvanmark3139]

How much does this knife cost?THX

[@behemothsuperknife]

Took that one down. I didn't want to seem like I was throwing salt into the mix.

[@argoshikan]

Why would you make a knife for close quarter combat and not include a guard of some kind?

[@9SS94Cr]

Because for the purpose of use this type of knives were designed, you won't need a hand guard. The handle material and shape offer more than enough traction, and for modern knife combat using hand guard to catch opponent's blade is very impractical. More over, large hand guards have tendencies to hook or grab on stuffs on soldiers, like rifle sling or ammo pouch.

[@ActionHero29]

9SS94Cr Indeed.

[@snowdog03]

Solingen, from Germany is the best high carbon blade anywhere.

[@mattpauli7787]

I’m in love lol

[@TheBassking86]

One of the few knives I wish I never sold

[@03outdoorschannel64]

01 doesnt really rust that much as it turns out.

[@ShooterMedic1818]

i just do not like not having a finger guard or something to protect my hand from going forward.

[@Patrick2345454]

Nice knife... gotta be honest though. I would just save another $50-$75 and pick up the Shinbu or the Hisshou.

[@normanformicola4983]

Nice everything... including presenter

[@boonsfrc]

In love wtK

[@hyuugaamida]

Fantasy?

[@Codename-B]

you used a fighting knife (which is its sole purpose and was designed by "the one and only" for) for anything else.

[@BdogFinal14]

Batoning processed wood and cutting weeds with a fighting/combat knife. That's brilliant, yeah great review. Buy a Becker, Sweetie.

[@bigfella9600]

Sweet knife and damnnnnnnnnn ( the second one is for you haha)

[@pattodd7576]

Good show on toughness.......but a $200 machete?

[@outdoorinitiative]

looks fast.

[@a661992]

Careful, I dropped mine no more than half a foot on tile floor.. Tip bent. Had to re profile now it's not so pretty

[@l337pwnage]

Well, look at the bright side, at least it wasn't on your foot. ;)

[@ronaldmcdonald9379]

Get a tops tahoma field knife sweetie

[@a661992]

"Point" taken.. :-)

[@dick_richards]

I'd like too keep you nice and oiled all the time....... COME ON!! HOW COULD I NOT SAY IT??? LOL Love your review's btw! I think it's more meant to 'baton' the gut's outta some enemy combatant, but it works well for everything it seems!!!

[@deviss42]

You are my kind of girl....and that is my kind of knife

[@NATEaBERGERturtle1]

It looks like a wall piece. like i would never use it as a camp knife

[@Teer_tv]

Loll how much you got paid for this review ??

[@zactolan561]

watch your fingers!

[@mattpelter]

Amazing Knife!!! BUT way out of my price range...

[@Sunbear415]

That's one of them Japonais knives....

[@clapforboobies5892]

Using this knife for outdoor tasks is like putting an escalator in an outhouse. It doesn't belong.

[@claytonbigsby6975]

The knife is not a bushcraft knife its a knife for self defense. But i guesss im wrong

[@kailacumings]

Clayton Bigsby James William's (the maker) said it can also be used for utility work as well. It wasnt designed to be a Bush craft knife but you can use it for that if need be.

[@felixelizondo8047]

Liked the review but don't be cutting green trees

[@robertwesker504]

Kkk
