We are talking wilderness survival and combat survival. If you want to go to either extreme thats your buisness, but this dagger nutn is showin off for us. Is a good middle man of the two extremes.
@shankslinger1 I'd say the non-bowie blade is better, but you're gona wanna modify it a little (either blade). Paracord rap the handle and use a cork for the opening in the bottom (that way you've got a little pocket for small survival requirements).
there is a huge difference between the penetration capability's, a blade that is thicker and twice as wide will take approximatively 2 times as much force to get about 75% as much penetration as the smaller blade
@kaldicuct a wound 2.5 inches deep and 2 inches wide vs. a wound 4 inches deep and an inch wide. take your pick. plus thinner blades go through other materials better ten thick ones, ex. the leather jacket and t-shirt your enemy is wearing. the smaller the area that the force is distributed= a deeper wound
I have a bunch of these knives, and they're vicious sharp! I don't see this knife being used for anything but spur of the moment deployment. It's not an EDU, but a special use knife. It's an outstanding value. I'm disappointed that CS discontinued it.
ok, military will NEVER use a japan,china etc made knife. EVER. they will always bring a good old ka bar or bench made(or sog back in the day when it was usa made). using china made knifes are offensive and dishonoring the cause. police might pull that shit but when you have 5 guys pining you down your gonna want to take them out with a little piece of usa.
@xmoonxdoggyx you really are ignorant do u realise that uniforms are made over seas and bought byt the us military also sf and other spealized units us e chinese and forgien made weapons and clothing that if thier caught they arent easly recongized as american
Ok, suck was a bit harsh it would prolly do just fine but by far not the best option.
Sharp or not, its about the pointynes? of the blade that makes it eazy to penetrate something. When you stab something living, the muscles will contract making it hard to pull out again. And the negative effect of a broad blade is that it has a bigger contact surface with the muscles = even more friction.
imho, that spear would be garbage. knives are last resort/sentry removal. surprise is a key factor. slipping between ribs etc would be harder due to the spears larger size.
@PetOwner101 There is nothing wrong with items made in China provided they have good quality control. Some items made have extremely poor quality control which give other items a bad name, but saying all Chinese made items are bad is completely wrong. Case in point, I have a cheap Norinco Makarov clone which has never jammed on me EVER. My spyderco tenacious is an excellent knife from China. If the company is known for good quality control then there is no reason not to buy from them.
Since I'm a rather large man (6'4'', 230 lbs) I carry a short handle sledge hammer for CQB back up. It's a good weapon for thrusting as well as for slashing blows. One blow from my hammer and my opponent is a goner I guarantee it.
If you had a single shot as in an ambush the more immediate damage dealt favors the larger blade. For a face to face CQB scenario you need a knife that has versatility and can take a bit of a beating. Daggers are not really designed for anything but thrust and if teh tip gets knocked off during CQB you will need a hammer. For CQB you really need a true fighting knife.
I didn't say I've stabbed a person. And yes, they do.
Take a look at blades that are made for killing, specifically for stabbing... the CRKT Hissatsu for example. Long, slender, pointed blades designed to easily slip in between bones and reach vital organs... like going through ribs into lungs or your liver, or down through the clavicular notch to puncture the aorta/lungs. A wide blade can't do that, because it'll get jammed in bone before it reaches anything.

Actually square shape gives better hand control. I'm a blacksmith/bladesmith and I can tell you that the best blacksmithing hammers have squarish handles for better control.The square handle on a knife similarly allows for better torsional/twisting control than a round or oval handle. This is necessary as in a thrust you do not want the blade to rotate in your hand. Hence why you see squarish handles on trade dags.

Nice wide blade, with blade catcher, para-chord.... excellent survival potential as a spear or a CQB weapon, and with some practice, a thrower.
Those notches, can help you secure the blade to a branch as a thrusting spear. You could even tie a crossbar there to keep the target, say a boar or bear, from riding up the shaft and getting at you.
Only problem with a blade that broad is catching on ribs, so you will want to go in on the horizontal for better penetration.
If you're fighting with a dagger then making it larger (heavier) just puts you at a disadvantage. No two ways about it, either use a dagger or a short-sword, not something in-between.
@ihaterobbie123 big gives better reach, so you would have a few chances to stroke someone before they could respond. Swords vs. spears was normally a loser, unless you were the romans and preceeded your sword vs. spear attack with a shower of pili (and carried a big freakin shield!)
@ihaterobbie123 In foil, epee and saber the length of swords are carefully controlled to prevent someone from having advantage. An extra two inches would be a huge advantage, and would be a mere ounce or two.
Yes they regulate the length, that's because when adding a little onto the end in a SPORT it makes a difference. Sorry, did you actually think fencing had anything to do with real combat?
Also it's relatively easy to add onto a foil, epee or sabre because structural integrity is maintained. On a real knife you need body with the length, doubling the length can triple or quadruple the weight, in this case CS 'solved' the problem by almost removing the handle.
@ihaterobbie123 Just as it would make a difference in a sport, it would make a difference in combat. "For on the fields of friendly strife, are sown the seeds that in other days will lead to victory."
@DonMeaker Not really, in knife fighting specifically about 95% is grapples because you want to avoid being stabbed when you stab the other person (who won't just drop stone-cold dead immediately).
Sport (fencing) is completely different from combat. There's no true aggression, no killing intention, no resolve, nothing that's in a real fight.
@DonMeaker HAHA, oh lol, you're actually trying to claim you've been in two knife fights? Of course you didn't think to bring this up earlier because you're lying but I appreciate the effort.
Well, to compliment that rubbish I must say that I have been attacked with a knife before, but I had a bokken and was trained so it wasn't really a fair match, there wasn't any grappling there.
From my experience of sparring with dummy knives, it's all about grappling, size of knife makes no difference.
Essentially a spearhead that doubles as a dagger. It really is light, you wouldn't expect that from such a large knife thanks to its hollow grind. For ~$20, this is the best spearhead or intimidation dagger that you can buy.
Wider, more broad blade profiles detract from the usefulness of a knife used for combat. Chances are if you're using a knife instead of a gun or, indeed, any firearm, you're going to be sneaking up on someone. A larger blade is, really, less practical and necessary for close quarters combat. It only takes about 3 inches of penetration to hit any significant structures in the body to cause mortal wounds or death.
Cold Steel Warhead: Too large, primarily for novelty purposes.
Bigger blade means more friction to slow it, but more surface area to cut with. It also means not as fast on the draw and not as easily concealed, but makes for a much more deadly strike in that you do not have to be as precise. Everything has their flaws. In hunting, I'd use the spear. In fighting, the combat dagger.
@zarnitintunzanyzack In knife form i would prefer the SK5, but for a spear thats probably gonna get beat around alot, i would prefer some more toughness and the 1055
This looks very much like a Roman Gladius. The Romans knew that a broad blade would impede vital organs, cut large vessels and create a large wound that would gush blood. And that is what killing the enemy is all about.
@173airbornemedic Effect from loss of blood is indirect effect. Direct effect would cut nerves and tendons directly, or penetrate the thorax to give sucking chest wounds. Longer knives give greater reach, but pretty quickly lose their handiness for anything other than poking holes.
@DonMeaker I respectively disagree with your assessment that large bladed knives loose their effectiveness. Watch many of Nutnfancy's Knife Clinic videos where he uses large bladed knives for many camp chores and survival. As for your thoughts on the interruption of large blood vessels and the cutting of tendons and other connective tissue you are absolutely correct and I should have mentioned that as well but missed it in my original comment. THANK YOU.
@173airbornemedic I don't disagree with you on that. I noted that large knives lose their handiness, which is slightly different from losing effectvieness.
I once had a strong vested personal interest in medics. Thanks for all the voodoo that you do!
Love the passion and detail used in your knife reviews. Your doing an ass kicking job!!! The knife producing CO's should give you the knives for free just to review them.
As a soldier, the Warhead wouldn't be my top pick for a dagger because of its width. While it'll slice into any soft material pretty easily, people aren't made of just soft material. A blade that wide will easily wedge itself between ribs and get stuck, and you'll need to crack them to get the knife out... something you don't have time to do in combat. Just my $0.02.
Should operate more like a gladius. Should be able to break them on the way through. Anyway, as a military man, you should know blades like that are used for upward type strikes.
Though not surprised that you probably don't know that...
Dunno what kind of experience you have, but in a close/hand-to-hand combat situation you don't focus on doing "upward type" strikes, or any other specific strikes for that matter. You fall back on what's become instinct and use what you've learned in training and from your experiences, doing what's become 2nd nature to you... you don't sit and think "hmm I wanna hit him like this."
And I don't want to carry a blade with me that's really only effective in one type of strike.
Should operate more like a gladius. Should be able to break them on the way through. Anyway, as a military man, you should know blades like that are used for upward type strikes.
Though not surprised that you probably don't know that...
Ps. Compare the blade profiles to other broad blade weapons, in particular to the gladius.
Well...Generally leather sheaths will absorb water more than other types of sheaths like nylon ones and as a result the leather sheath will most likely mold over as a result of the water or simply fall apart over time.
17:13 it's kinda funny that after nutnfancy pulls out all these knifes to show in this review he has yet another knife to bring out just to point at the knifes on the table
you know i bet if the situation called for it.. you could take the handle wrap off the warhead and make a spear and then use the handle wrap to secure it idk how thick is the tang on that thing nutn?
Cold steal again? Are you sponsord? Please, DONT trust yours or any ones life on their products. Cold steal is a crap company with stupid marketing and cray products. Especially their cheap crap ''Carbon 5'' knives witch are completly useless and uter crap! There are noumerous good american made knives to chose from, Cold Steal and their knives are not one of them, NONE of their products are worth the money no matter what they cost.
@StantheGunman Nutnfancy isn't sponsored, he just reviews gear that interests him, that he has access to, and sometimes in response to interest from the TNP community. He especially enjoys reviewing items which he considers as having "High Value", or a high cost to quality/functionality ratio. Cold Steel, for the most part, fits that definition. I, for example, can't remark on all their products, and some might be "crap", but I consider their Tai Pan to be one of the best daggers on the market.
Well Cold Steal isnt high value! Its substandard crap! I Enjoy Nutnfancy reviews as much as the next guy. But there is no point in reviewing crap even if its cheap crap! What is wrong with you all? A 1000dollars rifles, good gear and fine guns...And Cold Steal? That is like cooking a fine meal and taking a dump on top of it all! FFS, its not even american made! Its imported cheap ass crap made out of substandard material and shamelessly marketed by people who are idiots!
I have nothing against GOOD chinese steel, I have several chinese made fire arms and they are excellent! But there is none of that in Cold steal ''Crap carbon 5''. The Chinese can make excellet steel. Had Clod Steal used good steel then I wouldnt complain, but they dont!
@AZRogue As for their so called high quality knives, sure their Tai-Pan line of knives and daggers arent thath bad, but they are insanly over prized! And NOT american made at all! For THAT kind of monet there are tons of good, even great american knife makers. Then why review Cold Steal at all? I can make list of evn great American custom knife makers taht make better products even cheaper than Cold Steals so called imported and over prized knives, and I am not even American!
@AZRogue Maybe... but he is a youtube partner and makes money on all of the ads you see on the page and in the video that annoy the shit out of you. So he isn't exactly doing this just because he feels like playing with knives he is making money doing it.
@PUREOWN Wrong. You have no idea how much it takes to run this channel...just ammo alone is astronomical. This is a project for love, not money. -- Veri
Dude, the Ka-Bar is one of the best C.Q.B Knife. You want a knife, go Ka-Bar or Gerber. I don't care for Cold Steel, except their trowing knives. I like Ka-Bar and Gerber, but you probably know more than i do.
@IndianaWren I think you're right to a point. I think what is needed to give a nasty stab is easier to put on a knife then a proper slash. A long, thick spined knife with a sharp curved edge will do a lot of damage. Ask the Nepalese, they use Kuhkris and they have killed a loooooooot of enemy soldiers with them.

Those notches, can help you secure the blade to a branch as a thrusting spear. You could even tie a crossbar there to keep the target, say a boar or bear, from riding up the shaft and getting at you.
Only problem with a blade that broad is catching on ribs, so you will want to go in on the horizontal for better penetration.

If you're fighting with a dagger then making it larger (heavier) just puts you at a disadvantage. No two ways about it, either use a dagger or a short-sword, not something in-between.
In martial arts fast is strong, big isn't.
ihaterobbie123 1 year ago
@ihaterobbie123 big gives better reach, so you would have a few chances to stroke someone before they could respond. Swords vs. spears was normally a loser, unless you were the romans and preceeded your sword vs. spear attack with a shower of pili (and carried a big freakin shield!)

@DonMeaker I'd rather use a fighting knife half the length and a quarter the weight of that thing.
In combat distance is measured in paces, not inches, all the extra weight you add to the blade just slows down your stab speed.
An extra 2 inches gives you nothing, it won't end up saving you and if anything the weight will cause you to lose.
Want a fighting blade with good penetration/slashing and you also want it light and long? Go with a CKRT Hisshou, it's a great fighting knife.

ihaterobbie123 1 year ago
@ihaterobbie123 In foil, epee and saber the length of swords are carefully controlled to prevent someone from having advantage. An extra two inches would be a huge advantage, and would be a mere ounce or two.
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker I fenced for 3 years.
Yes they regulate the length, that's because when adding a little onto the end in a SPORT it makes a difference. Sorry, did you actually think fencing had anything to do with real combat?
Also it's relatively easy to add onto a foil, epee or sabre because structural integrity is maintained. On a real knife you need body with the length, doubling the length can triple or quadruple the weight, in this case CS 'solved' the problem by almost removing the handle.

@ihaterobbie123 Just as it would make a difference in a sport, it would make a difference in combat. "For on the fields of friendly strife, are sown the seeds that in other days will lead to victory."
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker Not really, in knife fighting specifically about 95% is grapples because you want to avoid being stabbed when you stab the other person (who won't just drop stone-cold dead immediately).
Sport (fencing) is completely different from combat. There's no true aggression, no killing intention, no resolve, nothing that's in a real fight.

@ihaterobbie123 The two knife fights I have been in there were no grapples. Just saying.
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker HAHA, oh lol, you're actually trying to claim you've been in two knife fights? Of course you didn't think to bring this up earlier because you're lying but I appreciate the effort.
Well, to compliment that rubbish I must say that I have been attacked with a knife before, but I had a bokken and was trained so it wasn't really a fair match, there wasn't any grappling there.
From my experience of sparring with dummy knives, it's all about grappling, size of knife makes no difference.

Essentially a spearhead that doubles as a dagger. It really is light, you wouldn't expect that from such a large knife thanks to its hollow grind. For ~$20, this is the best spearhead or intimidation dagger that you can buy.

extremedealer 1 year ago
Wider, more broad blade profiles detract from the usefulness of a knife used for combat. Chances are if you're using a knife instead of a gun or, indeed, any firearm, you're going to be sneaking up on someone. A larger blade is, really, less practical and necessary for close quarters combat. It only takes about 3 inches of penetration to hit any significant structures in the body to cause mortal wounds or death.

thefirearmsguy 1 year ago
Bigger blade means more friction to slow it, but more surface area to cut with. It also means not as fast on the draw and not as easily concealed, but makes for a much more deadly strike in that you do not have to be as precise. Everything has their flaws. In hunting, I'd use the spear. In fighting, the combat dagger.

This looks very much like a Roman Gladius. The Romans knew that a broad blade would impede vital organs, cut large vessels and create a large wound that would gush blood. And that is what killing the enemy is all about.
173airbornemedic 1 year ago
@173airbornemedic Effect from loss of blood is indirect effect. Direct effect would cut nerves and tendons directly, or penetrate the thorax to give sucking chest wounds. Longer knives give greater reach, but pretty quickly lose their handiness for anything other than poking holes.
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker I respectively disagree with your assessment that large bladed knives loose their effectiveness. Watch many of Nutnfancy's Knife Clinic videos where he uses large bladed knives for many camp chores and survival. As for your thoughts on the interruption of large blood vessels and the cutting of tendons and other connective tissue you are absolutely correct and I should have mentioned that as well but missed it in my original comment. THANK YOU.
173airbornemedic 1 year ago
@173airbornemedic I don't disagree with you on that. I noted that large knives lose their handiness, which is slightly different from losing effectvieness.

As a soldier, the Warhead wouldn't be my top pick for a dagger because of its width. While it'll slice into any soft material pretty easily, people aren't made of just soft material. A blade that wide will easily wedge itself between ribs and get stuck, and you'll need to crack them to get the knife out... something you don't have time to do in combat. Just my $0.02.

Should operate more like a gladius. Should be able to break them on the way through. Anyway, as a military man, you should know blades like that are used for upward type strikes.
Though not surprised that you probably don't know that...

@karkkosvolfe
Dunno what kind of experience you have, but in a close/hand-to-hand combat situation you don't focus on doing "upward type" strikes, or any other specific strikes for that matter. You fall back on what's become instinct and use what you've learned in training and from your experiences, doing what's become 2nd nature to you... you don't sit and think "hmm I wanna hit him like this."
And I don't want to carry a blade with me that's really only effective in one type of strike.

Well...Generally leather sheaths will absorb water more than other types of sheaths like nylon ones and as a result the leather sheath will most likely mold over as a result of the water or simply fall apart over time.

Cold steal again? Are you sponsord? Please, DONT trust yours or any ones life on their products. Cold steal is a crap company with stupid marketing and cray products. Especially their cheap crap ''Carbon 5'' knives witch are completly useless and uter crap! There are noumerous good american made knives to chose from, Cold Steal and their knives are not one of them, NONE of their products are worth the money no matter what they cost.
StantheGunman 1 year ago
@StantheGunman Nutnfancy isn't sponsored, he just reviews gear that interests him, that he has access to, and sometimes in response to interest from the TNP community. He especially enjoys reviewing items which he considers as having "High Value", or a high cost to quality/functionality ratio. Cold Steel, for the most part, fits that definition. I, for example, can't remark on all their products, and some might be "crap", but I consider their Tai Pan to be one of the best daggers on the market.

Well Cold Steal isnt high value! Its substandard crap! I Enjoy Nutnfancy reviews as much as the next guy. But there is no point in reviewing crap even if its cheap crap! What is wrong with you all? A 1000dollars rifles, good gear and fine guns...And Cold Steal? That is like cooking a fine meal and taking a dump on top of it all! FFS, its not even american made! Its imported cheap ass crap made out of substandard material and shamelessly marketed by people who are idiots!

I can make list of evn great American custom knife makers taht make better products even cheaper than Cold Steals so called imported and over prized knives, and I am not even American!

@IndianaWren I think you're right to a point. I think what is needed to give a nasty stab is easier to put on a knife then a proper slash. A long, thick spined knife with a sharp curved edge will do a lot of damage. Ask the Nepalese, they use Kuhkris and they have killed a loooooooot of enemy soldiers with them.
