The Cold Steel 1917 echoes the style of early 20th century military knives, particularly the Bowie and navy models used during the First World War. The design combines classic lines and modern materials, offering a wide, balanced blade ideal for powerful cuts and heavy-duty work. The hardwood handle and steel guard evoke the aesthetics of 1917 service weapons, reinterpreted with Cold Steel's usual robustness.

The Hisshou, meaning “certain victory,” is the modern incarnation of the Samurai fighting sword. Designed by James Williams, it is a specialized tool intended for military personnel and special forces operators. James developed this design to meet the specific demands of coalition forces abroad, who needed a more powerful tactical tool than his already widely used Hissatsu from CRKT.

Historically, military swords have been designed according to the combat environment. Long swords, such as the English broadsword and the Japanese katana, were primarily used in open battlefields. Enclosed or confined combat required shorter swords, such as the sailor's machete and the Japanese wakizashi, close in size to the Hisshou.
