How many blades do you carry on yourself on any ordinary day? And have you ever carried anything less lethal (as a complement not as a replacement)? Like a telescoping baton?
@DarkegoMB Eh, just two, usually a folder in the waistline and maybe a small fixed attached to my keychain or somewhere a little surreptitious. And no I don't carry much less-lethal stuff, batons are big and hard to hide.
@RRFCaptain Yeah i agree. I generally have a folder for utility and a fixed blade either on the back of my belt or in my boot. But other then carrying around a roll of quarters or something, i cant seem to find a "non-leather" complement i feel comfortable carrying. Mace is worthless and tazers can fail. And everything else is either bulky or could be just as deadly in a combat situation (see: various loaded fists). Any suggestions?
two knives is enough if you don't go tho any jungle or other planet. and if you go some day, than take something bigger - have you watched Avatar? these space predators are pretty huge.
yup, my first language is polish, second is french so english may be the third.
i did not miss the point, i only don't get the reason why you're hiding so many knives if you don't have enough limbs to use them all. btw all those knives except the last one are not pretty big, so that's nothing special to hide them - especially neck knives. on the next video turn around to show us if there's any knive sticking on your belt under the t-shirt.
@RRFCaptain The point isn't that I DO hide that many, it's that I CAN hide that many and so can anyone else... gee by your logic, should military guys only carry one magazine for their gun? After all they only have one gun to use it in.
@RRFCaptain Comparing a magazine to a knife is a poor choice here. You are carrying six bladed weapons, but have two hands to wield them with. A better comparison would be "Should military guys (They usually prefer to be called 'soldiers') carry six guns? They only have two hands to wield them with." In which the answer would be "No. They should carry a rifle and a side arm." :P
@RRFCaptain Someone asked why you would carry 6 knives with only two hands to wield them with. You compared it to a "military guy" carrying one magazine for a firearm. I'm just saying that your comparison is a poor one. He was correct. There is no reason to carry 6 knives on you at any time. If you're arguing that someone could be carrying 6 guns, again that is unnecessary. Most "bad guys", as you call them in the video, would be better off carrying a semi auto rifle and a side arm. Not 6 knives
@AngeloBangelo Okay, so, again, what is your point? You're talking about something that nobody is disputing or cares about. Notice how I never said you SHOULD carry 6 knives on you, just that you CAN. Use your eyes before you speak.
@RRFCaptain You crack me up, kid. This video is pointless. It was done years ago, in a better fashion, in Bowling for Columbine. Your anime/nerd rage is strong today. I'll continue this conversation in a week when you're off of your period.
@AngeloBangelo Oh and since it's obvious that you don't know a damn thing about the subject at hand, otherwise you would have made some kind of point in 3 worthless comments, I'ma just go ahead and...
@jhynesyahoo Sold it. Loved it when I had it, the grip was very easy for my fingers to fit and the curve on the blade let me put a lot of force into cutting stuff.
Good video. Thats no shit either... I always asume the "Bad Guy" has some type of weapon system on them...and in this day and age just about everyone carries an edged weapon of some type.
You should see what you can do with a jacket! I've carried a SOG SEAL Team fixed blade under a casual jacket when I go somewhere I expect to find trouble. (I don't go LOOKING for fights but I go to places where I may very well run into them. Best to be prepared but the greatest victory is the battle not fought.)
I just loosely tied it on with zipties for the video, it wasn't supposed to be ultra-hidden. The point was supposed to be that it can be hidden from view even though it's big.
it was easy to spot after he pulled out the other kniveds you idiot.. and you could simply wear a coat and it is invisible- like most punks do.. for that reason.
you print in both videos especially behind your back with the larger knives. I can hide my machete better than you hide folders. you are still young and learning though , so not bad. good luck and stay out of fights.
You can't legally carry a gun everywhere, but in some places carrying a knife is legal. When I carried concealed, I also carried 1-2 blades as backup since guns do jam and a weapon could potentially be knocked out of your hand in combat. At close range, a knife can be even more effective than a gun: if someone points your barrel away from them and goes at you with a blade, you're in trouble
Great vids man. I want a Hissatsu and a HAK now. :P I've wanted both for a while actually. Carried a 5.11 Master karambit today (IWB). I usually carry an Emerson Combat karambit. Just bought a Spydie P'Kal this morning :)
I'm a real karambit nut. I train with them for at least an hour or two a day. I have a Spyderco, 5.11, Cold Steel, TOPS, Emerson and two handmade ones (one from Indonesia and a D2 one from China with micarta slabs). They are very, very effective weapons, but they take training to use correctly and effectively (as with any weapon).
True, true. Personally I always thought that they just didn't have enough BLADE to them. I guess there are different kinds of karambits but the ones I see most don't seem like a lot of knife. But I don't know if that impacts their effectiveness because I don't know how they are used.
When compared to conventional 'straight' blades, yeah, they look relatively short. Karambits are normally used for slashing and breaking. Targets include the biceps, throat, eyes, achilles tendon and groin. A slash to the throat or eyes with a short blade is still extremely effective!
woah, slashing someones achilles tendon, i can't imagine how painfull that would be. Not to mention the would probably never walk again. good way to put someone out of action though, in a life or death situation.
why dont you just carry a gun??? it seems ridiculous to see people carry all those knives after i carry a gun. i may not see your knives but if you see my gun im pretty sure your not gonna fuck with me.
in close quarters combat a knife is much more deadly than a gun. I can grab your hand, you have time to get one shot off if you are lucky.. ... you grab my hand with a knife in it.. I can slice and dice your hand and wrist as I muscle out of it....
in addition.. firing a gun in a small enclosed space will deafen you and blind you.
it really comes down to the amount of training that you've had, if you've had more training with a knife then i have had with a gun then you'll prolly beat me. also firing a gun in enclosed space wont blind you, i've done it before and if you do it a lot you get used to the sound.
What you train WITH doesn't matter as much as what you've trained AGAINST. If you have training punching paper that doesn't mean you can beat a knife because you have no idea how to handle a knife attack. Same goes for guns.
I have seen people put other tools in their boots, cap/hat, sarongs, rings, and feet.
Maybe you can do another clip on body postures where people hide their tools under their arms, back, etc. Sort of like a magician pulling stuff out of the air.
Getting close to an unknown contact (sometimes even known) can be extremely dangerous and things are over in seconds.
You're welcome, thanks for the good comment. You touched on something that is often ignored which is how people will prepare to use these weapons if they really have intent. I think that would be good content for a video.
Hah, that was great. Reminds me of the police edged weapon training videos, where they found a table full of knives/guns/explosives on one guy wearing a trench coat. I really liked the one on your belt and the small fixed blade, that was cool.
just the double edged ones I think, unless you are in the The Peoples Republik of Kalifornia, where the right to self defence has been outlawed...If violent criminals who get their jollies by killing innocent people were executed instead of serving a "life sentence", we wouldn't, as a country, be banning cutting tools, and thats all a knife really is. thats like banning pieces of glass or flint. criminals: armed and dangerous, law abiding citizens: disarmed and helpless.
Neat, but I don't know why anyone would carry more knives than they have hands unless they plan to throw them. I know what the point of this video was, but for good guy CCW I would prefer a single gun and a single knife. Maybe two knives, but no more.
Just a heads ups, for CA at least, a concealed fixed blade will land you in jail, although a concealed blade-locking folder (of any size, oddly) is fine. Not being judgmental, just think people need to be aware of the law, even if they aren't going to follow it.
Nice concealment, excellent job on blade placement, but how fast can you deploy those blades. A video showing your skills would only further validate you claim at the end of this film.
Yeah. People have been maiming other people with bladed weapons for far longer than they have with guns, and they will continue to do so in the future, I imagine.
Sorry, my comment wasnt placed under the comment in which I was replying to... which was the one stating you only need to carry 1 knife, and then the person follows up saying he carries two.
You want to check out the Emerson Karambit. Emerson's folding knives have a great "wave" feature that snaps the knife open upon drawing, making these standard folding knives faster than switchblades.
The Karambit with a more traditional blade shape (CQC-7 for me) is excellent for CC, because with it's short blade length (2.7") it's guaranteed legal anywhere, but of course this comes at the cost of increased operator burden... gotta stab and slice in only critical areas.
What is your favorite of the blade weapons you demonstrate? Why? What are your height and weight? I am interested as how one's size may affect the ability to conceal. Nice video.
Crud i'm sorry i see we are in agreement here. I jumped the gun (so to speak) when i thought you were discouraging people from asserting their god given right to be armed for self defense .
Alaska and Vermont allow concealed or open carry with no permit required. All other states require you to get a permit to exercise your rights. Some make it nearly impossible (New York City and LA come to mind) uinless you have connections.
Another fascinating video. Viewers be advised that most US States have laws against Concealed Carry of any weapon, usually including knives with blades above a certain (varies) length, without a license. I personally have no training in knife fighting so I do not carry one for that purpose, though I am partial to the Ken Onion Blackout for general purpose.
That is not true. Many states require you to jump through hoops to obtain a permit for it (it is a revocable privelege, not a constitutional god given right as our law says), but nearly all states allow law abiding citizens to be armed. Lol how nice of them to honor the constitution
if you buy the good CRKT knives, they ARE American made. only their low-end Wal-mart stuff is manufactured overseas... which is precisely what Benchmade does with their Red Box line...
Good illustration of the many places people can conceal blades. The low carry of the hissatsu is less than practical but I suppose with baggy enough threads you might pull it off. Have you checked out the folding hissatsu yet? It's a good blade.
Yeah it's definitely not the best place to hide the 'satsu but I did this video on a whim and it was just where I ended up putting it. There are better options. And naw I haven't seen it yet, it sounds interesting.
I just picked one up. It was back ordered forever. It's a good blade. My recommendation would be to get the outburst version. Like it's older, larger, fixed blade cousin the point on the blade is razor sharp and for only about 4 inches long can stab with the best of them.
That's unfortunately a very dogmatic view on personal protection. There may be times when your "one gun" would not be suitable or permissible in all environments. Additionally I am sure you don't have unlimited ammunition either. There are times in CQB when a knife is superior to a firearm. No weapon is technically superior to another in all situations. Face it, the knife is one of mankind's oldest tools for defense and survival. It isn't going anywhere.
a knife is only good if some one gets into your 21 feet thresh hold. but if you on profiecent in presentaion of your firearm from the holster. you will drop the person with the knife 99 out of 100 times. and i would be willing to trade a couple knife slashes for a bullet whole.
No one is disputing that firearms revolutionized combat and personal protection as far as being an excellent force multiplier. What I am saying is that there is a reason people still carry knives. They are more suitable in some situations and make for an effective back up weapon. Stop waving your huge "tacticool" cock around and stop trying to be a toughguy. I have seen you troll this persons other videos. You are a lamer.
knives are only carried now-a-days for utility reasons. cops military etc. if a person is only carrying a knife as their primary weapon in 2007 it is usually because they are too young to legally posess a firearm or they are convicted fellons and still cant legally posess a firearm. i am only trying to help this guy who post all his bookworm knowledge. and clearly has no range time or combat experience.
If you have tons of range time and experience could you manage to post in an intellectually honest manner then? It is hardly necessary to come across as some ultra-elite ninja commando if you differ in opinion from someone else. Knives are still useful weapons. They are still carried by soldiers in the field. Firearms cannot be carried everywhere. No one weapon/system has all the answers for all situations. You should try to see the reasoning for diversifying your weapons and tactics.
I am not a ninja. and never claimed to be. i have been to iraq twice, somalia, and bosnia. I have done security in places like orleans during katrina. i teach firearms for a living. cont>
cont> i am not trying to say i am some kick ass ninja. i just have a little bit of experience here to point out and understand a fake non- experienced book work knowledge only guy. i did not intentionally try and piss you off. you stick to your opinnion and i will stick to mine. how-ever this is a website for expressing your feelings, so here i am.
i never questioned his teaching style as far as spiiting as his knowledge on the subject. how-ever i am picking out his flaws with explaining the knowledge while handling the firearm. he looks like shit! demostrating his class. knowledge is there mechanics of handling are not. can't you see that?
Fights don't just happen with somebody blitzing you from 50 feet away with a knife. I really hate to think that you would be going around in real life and teaching people this "gun>knife" bullshit. I guarantee that if we started face-to-face, I had a knife in hand, and you had a holstered gun, I would win the fight every time.
Knives are DEFINITELY not inferior to guns in very close quarter and you would be astoundingly foolish to think so. Thank God your YT account is gone or you would be spreading more of this nonsense out where other people could read it, and make them think that having a gun makes them invincible.
Dude i like your work butthat comment to the other guy about having the gun holstered and the knive in pocket or holstered comes down to speed. And if you watch guys like phil strader or todd jarret they would shoot you before you got the knife out. depends on the person not the weapon
It doesn't come down to speed, it comes down to who has the better weapon for the fight. If I had a knife in hand, and they had a gun in holster, I would put a hundred bucks on me (OR ANYONE) being the winner of the fight most of the time. Why do you think cops die from stab wounds all the time? Because guns require aim, trigger pull, control, and ammunition... knives just require contact. :)
Actually, no I didn't change it. If you read closely that's exactly what I said before. "I guarantee that if we started face-to-face, I had a knife in hand, and you had a holstered gun, I would win the fight every time."
Ofcourse. Now who starts the fight with the knive in hand. How about me with gun in habd and you with knife in pocket? Lets be real. If i see you with a knife in hand i am not going to walk up gt face to face and then say ok begin. while my gun is holstered.
If you had a gun in hand, me knife in pocket, it would be pretty easy for us to get in a wrestle over that gun, during which I could stab you, since we're still in knife range.
There are techniques of shooting up close and keeping the pistol next to your body in a cant posistion so the slide can function. And i guarantee you that it still comes down to mindset and quickness
If the guy is trying to stab me, i am a civilian not a cop. Im going to put as many rounds in him as fast as possible. I am not going to worry about whats beyond. I am going to stop the threat in hand.
Like i said before. Mindset, If i see you holding the knife gun comes out before i even get close. If we are talking and you go to your pocket im going to drag step away from you while pumping your ass full of lead. Keeping my weal hand out as a distractor and shooting with strong hand. Comes down to mindset and situation dictates, you just cannot say the knife will win in any situation dude.
I know shooting from retention, but it will not do the work for you, and you'd be putting yourself at risk to rely solely on a technique to save you... "mindset" doesn't impact the "HOLY SHIT" moment where the other guy suddenly starts giving you the shank in the stomach. All I'm saying is, at the close-up interval, I believe that a knife is deadlier than a gun. Have you seen the Dog Brothers GKEH DVD?
Why does the holy shit moment only affect the guy with the gun. The guy with the knife should have the holy shit moment since he is bringing a knive to a gun fight. I will tee you this. you are putting alot of confidence in a knive. You seem pretty sure the guy is going to die instant taneous by a knife wound. What if the guy misses the vital areas and then what?
Most fights dont start out with knife in hand and gun holstered and both guys 1 foot apart. The guy has to retrieve the knive first and get in close. A good cop will not let you in his 6 foot box. After a couple warnings of stay back . pistol comes out to the ready.
You seem to be putting this in a prison break shank scenario
If the guy is 1 foot from the guy with knive out and gun holstered. well ofcourse. But thats only one scenario. that doesnt prove that a knife is a better weapon than a pistol. You seem to be stcking to that scenario instead of having an open mind. and obviously you are not old enought to know that situation dictates. Besides most cops injured by knive wounds suffer them on the back from a wrestling match.
The question I ask you is this: what's the smarter option if the situation jumps off within 0 to 6'... go to your gun even though he's already attacking you, which draws your own hands away from him and leaves you wide open while you try and get the gun out, and then you end up trading cuts for bullets, (which is more likely to leave you dead than him, if we go by statistics) or go to him and his knife?
I was under the assumption that these are two guys who are in the mindset for a fight. Not the guy with the gun unaware and that knife guy ready to go. Ofcourse the knife would win. But if both guys are looking for a fight and start within 6 ft of each other then close. i pick the pistol every time.
I dont care about a dvd dude. i AM GOING BY STATS OF REAL SITS. And not going by the sits where the guy with the gun was practically ambushed. I mean both guys are professionals at their line of work. Also there are some guys who would take the knife away and shove it up the perps ass. Depends on the skill of the person 99% of the time
Real fights don't happen with both people ready to go. They happen with one person moving forward and one person moving back. You're basing your expectations of a fight on what YOU want to happen, not what might actually happen. You're right it depends on the skill, but do you actually have the skills that are required? 99% of people don't.
Lol, dude you set the scene, with the guy having the knive at the ready and the guy with the pistol oblivious to the surroundings. If we are going to argue over the set up we will be doing this all night.
How about this> knives are a good weapon if the guy with the pistol doesnt know you have a knive. can we agree on that? jeez
I'm not saying that the guy with the pistol is going to be oblivious, but it's fraudulent to think that you're going to somehow know when somebody is going to attack you. You might have, what, a few seconds of warning if he's sneaky and closes the distance cleverly or has a convincing ruse? (Maybe a minute if he gives himself away, and if that's the case then the fight shouldn't even happen)
If you think that you're going to beat somebody with a knife just by being quicker to the draw, you're very incorrect, and any full-force/full-speed experimentation will show you this. GKEH is a DVD based around this exact concept, and it supports (and demonstrates) everything I am saying. Not to sound like a hype man, but it will be able to show you what I mean a lot easier than I can write it.
Plus cops get stabbed because they usually have level 2 retention holsters. And are not trained to shoot up close and fast. You do not have to use trigger control sight management when the guy is in your box. 1 TO 3 FEET.
You're right by saying you don't have to have trigger control in the sense you're thinking of, but you still have to KNOW where the bullets are going to go, and that means if they go through the guy as well. You still have to have an index of the gun on the guy's body, however you choose to do that/whatever method.
great knives. i carry the crkt m16-13sf. it's small but the 'hammers' make for the easiest opens i've encountered. faster than any thumb stub as far as folders go.
no need to pack all those knifes. one knife should be good enough. and maybe a back up. if you do have to pull out a third knife, it would be to late.
Yeah this was kind of inspired by that, actually. I was going to try and put my whole collection on me, but it was taking a while so I just did these instead. XD
Kool blades man, but wouldn't only be good on the streets. I've been to many a bars, clubs, and concerts and they pat you down or will even have metal detectors. Then we go good old fist to fist, again sweet blades.
What is the name of the first knife?

They are very, very effective weapons, but they take training to use correctly and effectively (as with any weapon).

True, true. Personally I always thought that they just didn't have enough BLADE to them. I guess there are different kinds of karambits but the ones I see most don't seem like a lot of knife. But I don't know if that impacts their effectiveness because I don't know how they are used.

When compared to conventional 'straight' blades, yeah, they look relatively short. Karambits are normally used for slashing and breaking. Targets include the biceps, throat, eyes, achilles tendon and groin. A slash to the throat or eyes with a short blade is still extremely effective!
jayinhk 3 years ago
woah, slashing someones achilles tendon, i can't imagine how painfull that would be. Not to mention the would probably never walk again. good way to put someone out of action though, in a life or death situation.

why dont you just carry a gun??? it seems ridiculous to see people carry all those knives after i carry a gun. i may not see your knives but if you see my gun im pretty sure your not gonna fuck with me.
witegetobro 3 years ago
in close quarters combat a knife is much more deadly than a gun. I can grab your hand, you have time to get one shot off if you are lucky.. ... you grab my hand with a knife in it.. I can slice and dice your hand and wrist as I muscle out of it....
in addition.. firing a gun in a small enclosed space will deafen you and blind you.
BOBAMAMONKEY 2 years ago 3
it really comes down to the amount of training that you've had, if you've had more training with a knife then i have had with a gun then you'll prolly beat me. also firing a gun in enclosed space wont blind you, i've done it before and if you do it a lot you get used to the sound.
witegetobro 2 years ago
What you train WITH doesn't matter as much as what you've trained AGAINST. If you have training punching paper that doesn't mean you can beat a knife because you have no idea how to handle a knife attack. Same goes for guns.

Nice clip on where people can conceal.
I have seen people put other tools in their boots, cap/hat, sarongs, rings, and feet.
Maybe you can do another clip on body postures where people hide their tools under their arms, back, etc. Sort of like a magician pulling stuff out of the air.
Getting close to an unknown contact (sometimes even known) can be extremely dangerous and things are over in seconds.
Thanks for the clip.

Neat, but I don't know why anyone would carry more knives than they have hands unless they plan to throw them. I know what the point of this video was, but for good guy CCW I would prefer a single gun and a single knife. Maybe two knives, but no more.

Just a heads ups, for CA at least, a concealed fixed blade will land you in jail, although a concealed blade-locking folder (of any size, oddly) is fine. Not being judgmental, just think people need to be aware of the law, even if they aren't going to follow it.

You want to check out the Emerson Karambit. Emerson's folding knives have a great "wave" feature that snaps the knife open upon drawing, making these standard folding knives faster than switchblades.
The Karambit with a more traditional blade shape (CQC-7 for me) is excellent for CC, because with it's short blade length (2.7") it's guaranteed legal anywhere, but of course this comes at the cost of increased operator burden... gotta stab and slice in only critical areas.

Another fascinating video. Viewers be advised that most US States have laws against Concealed Carry of any weapon, usually including knives with blades above a certain (varies) length, without a license.

Good illustration of the many places people can conceal blades. The low carry of the hissatsu is less than practical but I suppose with baggy enough threads you might pull it off. Have you checked out the folding hissatsu yet? It's a good blade.

Yeah it's definitely not the best place to hide the 'satsu but I did this video on a whim and it was just where I ended up putting it. There are better options. And naw I haven't seen it yet, it sounds interesting.
RRFCaptain 4 years ago
I just picked one up. It was back ordered forever. It's a good blade. My recommendation would be to get the outburst version. Like it's older, larger, fixed blade cousin the point on the blade is razor sharp and for only about 4 inches long can stab with the best of them.
Karasu1974 4 years ago
just carry one gun. never bring a knife to a gun fight. hehe
pbcotter 4 years ago
That's unfortunately a very dogmatic view on personal protection. There may be times when your "one gun" would not be suitable or permissible in all environments. Additionally I am sure you don't have unlimited ammunition either. There are times in CQB when a knife is superior to a firearm. No weapon is technically superior to another in all situations. Face it, the knife is one of mankind's oldest tools for defense and survival. It isn't going anywhere.
Karasu1974 4 years ago
you bring your knife to a cqb fight and i will bring my fully auto m4 and my 1911 meusoc sidearm and we will see who is better protected.

a knife is only good if some one gets into your 21 feet thresh hold. but if you on profiecent in presentaion of your firearm from the holster. you will drop the person with the knife 99 out of 100 times. and i would be willing to trade a couple knife slashes for a bullet whole.
pbcotter 4 years ago
No one is disputing that firearms revolutionized combat and personal protection as far as being an excellent force multiplier. What I am saying is that there is a reason people still carry knives. They are more suitable in some situations and make for an effective back up weapon. Stop waving your huge "tacticool" cock around and stop trying to be a toughguy. I have seen you troll this persons other videos. You are a lamer.
Karasu1974 4 years ago
knives are only carried now-a-days for utility reasons. cops military etc. if a person is only carrying a knife as their primary weapon in 2007 it is usually because they are too young to legally posess a firearm or they are convicted fellons and still cant legally posess a firearm. i am only trying to help this guy who post all his bookworm knowledge. and clearly has no range time or combat experience.
pbcotter 4 years ago
If you have tons of range time and experience could you manage to post in an intellectually honest manner then? It is hardly necessary to come across as some ultra-elite ninja commando if you differ in opinion from someone else. Knives are still useful weapons. They are still carried by soldiers in the field. Firearms cannot be carried everywhere. No one weapon/system has all the answers for all situations. You should try to see the reasoning for diversifying your weapons and tactics.

RRFCaptain 4 years ago
Knives are DEFINITELY not inferior to guns in very close quarter and you would be astoundingly foolish to think so. Thank God your YT account is gone or you would be spreading more of this nonsense out where other people could read it, and make them think that having a gun makes them invincible.
RRFCaptain 4 years ago
Dude i like your work butthat comment to the other guy about having the gun holstered and the knive in pocket or holstered comes down to speed. And if you watch guys like phil strader or todd jarret they would shoot you before you got the knife out. depends on the person not the weapon
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
It doesn't come down to speed, it comes down to who has the better weapon for the fight. If I had a knife in hand, and they had a gun in holster, I would put a hundred bucks on me (OR ANYONE) being the winner of the fight most of the time. Why do you think cops die from stab wounds all the time? Because guns require aim, trigger pull, control, and ammunition... knives just require contact. :)
RRFCaptain 4 years ago
Hey captain. like i said before i like you, But Now you changed it to knife in hand and gun holstered.
Ofcourse the knife would win. If they are both holstered depends on the person
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
Actually, no I didn't change it. If you read closely that's exactly what I said before. "I guarantee that if we started face-to-face, I had a knife in hand, and you had a holstered gun, I would win the fight every time."
RRFCaptain 4 years ago
Ofcourse. Now who starts the fight with the knive in hand. How about me with gun in habd and you with knife in pocket? Lets be real. If i see you with a knife in hand i am not going to walk up gt face to face and then say ok begin. while my gun is holstered.
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
And don't forget; you could get a knife in hand surreptitiously a lot easier than somebody could get a gun in hand.

P.S. Criminals might start the fight with knife in hand.
RRFCaptain 4 years ago
There are techniques of shooting up close and keeping the pistol next to your body in a cant posistion so the slide can function. And i guarantee you that it still comes down to mindset and quickness
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
If the guy is trying to stab me, i am a civilian not a cop. Im going to put as many rounds in him as fast as possible. I am not going to worry about whats beyond. I am going to stop the threat in hand.
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
Like i said before. Mindset, If i see you holding the knife gun comes out before i even get close. If we are talking and you go to your pocket im going to drag step away from you while pumping your ass full of lead. Keeping my weal hand out as a distractor and shooting with strong hand. Comes down to mindset and situation dictates, you just cannot say the knife will win in any situation dude.
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
I know shooting from retention, but it will not do the work for you, and you'd be putting yourself at risk to rely solely on a technique to save you... "mindset" doesn't impact the "HOLY SHIT" moment where the other guy suddenly starts giving you the shank in the stomach. All I'm saying is, at the close-up interval, I believe that a knife is deadlier than a gun. Have you seen the Dog Brothers GKEH DVD?
RRFCaptain 4 years ago
Why does the holy shit moment only affect the guy with the gun. The guy with the knife should have the holy shit moment since he is bringing a knive to a gun fight. I will tee you this. you are putting alot of confidence in a knive. You seem pretty sure the guy is going to die instant taneous by a knife wound. What if the guy misses the vital areas and then what?
the adrenaline is equal on both sides.
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
Most fights dont start out with knife in hand and gun holstered and both guys 1 foot apart. The guy has to retrieve the knive first and get in close. A good cop will not let you in his 6 foot box. After a couple warnings of stay back . pistol comes out to the ready.
You seem to be putting this in a prison break shank scenario
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
If the guy is 1 foot from the guy with knive out and gun holstered. well ofcourse. But thats only one scenario. that doesnt prove that a knife is a better weapon than a pistol. You seem to be stcking to that scenario instead of having an open mind. and obviously you are not old enought to know that situation dictates. Besides most cops injured by knive wounds suffer them on the back from a wrestling match.
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
The question I ask you is this: what's the smarter option if the situation jumps off within 0 to 6'... go to your gun even though he's already attacking you, which draws your own hands away from him and leaves you wide open while you try and get the gun out, and then you end up trading cuts for bullets, (which is more likely to leave you dead than him, if we go by statistics) or go to him and his knife?
RRFCaptain 4 years ago
I was under the assumption that these are two guys who are in the mindset for a fight. Not the guy with the gun unaware and that knife guy ready to go. Ofcourse the knife would win. But if both guys are looking for a fight and start within 6 ft of each other then close. i pick the pistol every time.
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
I dont care about a dvd dude. i AM GOING BY STATS OF REAL SITS. And not going by the sits where the guy with the gun was practically ambushed. I mean both guys are professionals at their line of work. Also there are some guys who would take the knife away and shove it up the perps ass. Depends on the skill of the person 99% of the time
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
Real fights don't happen with both people ready to go. They happen with one person moving forward and one person moving back. You're basing your expectations of a fight on what YOU want to happen, not what might actually happen. You're right it depends on the skill, but do you actually have the skills that are required? 99% of people don't.
RRFCaptain 4 years ago
Lol, dude you set the scene, with the guy having the knive at the ready and the guy with the pistol oblivious to the surroundings. If we are going to argue over the set up we will be doing this all night.
How about this> knives are a good weapon if the guy with the pistol doesnt know you have a knive. can we agree on that? jeez
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
I'm not saying that the guy with the pistol is going to be oblivious, but it's fraudulent to think that you're going to somehow know when somebody is going to attack you. You might have, what, a few seconds of warning if he's sneaky and closes the distance cleverly or has a convincing ruse? (Maybe a minute if he gives himself away, and if that's the case then the fight shouldn't even happen)
I'll definitely agree with you on that, anyway.

Parafrog8654 4 years ago
If you think that you're going to beat somebody with a knife just by being quicker to the draw, you're very incorrect, and any full-force/full-speed experimentation will show you this. GKEH is a DVD based around this exact concept, and it supports (and demonstrates) everything I am saying. Not to sound like a hype man, but it will be able to show you what I mean a lot easier than I can write it.
RRFCaptain 4 years ago
Plus cops get stabbed because they usually have level 2 retention holsters. And are not trained to shoot up close and fast. You do not have to use trigger control sight management when the guy is in your box. 1 TO 3 FEET.
Parafrog8654 4 years ago
You're right by saying you don't have to have trigger control in the sense you're thinking of, but you still have to KNOW where the bullets are going to go, and that means if they go through the guy as well. You still have to have an index of the gun on the guy's body, however you choose to do that/whatever method.
