I have owned this knife's big sister the Hisshou for about a year and I love it, the Hisshou is a very very powerful slasher that could easily decapitate a person. However, because of its size and the curve of the blade its is a poor stabbing knife, and I would say that while it is great for quick draw and slash it is horrible and a quick stab, It is just too damn big!The Shinbu fixes that problem with little sacrifice. The Shinbu is a excellent slasher that can make deep cuts and probable take off some limbs, and it is a excellent stabbing knife. I would say I like it better then the Hissatsu for stabbing. Its smaller size allows for quick and easy deployment out of the sheath and unlike the Hisshou it does not feel strange to try to stab with it.
The sheath allows for customization, easy carry, and rapid deployment. Keep in mind that the blade is YK-30 and it will rust if not maintained, mine came oiled out of the box, and proper cleaning and applying a dab of oil to the blade after use will prevent any rust.
All in all the Shinbu is a more practical knife then the Hisshou, while not as powerful as a cutter, its smaller size allows it to be a excellent stabbing knife in addition to being a powerful slasher. The Shinbu is also easier to carry as the Hisshou massive size can allow it to get tangled in gear. If you want a great general purpose COMBAT knife get the Shinbu, if you want to scare the hell out of people get the Hisshou! I have and love both!
