Best part of the whole review... "and Im jerking it like this, and I dont think anyone moves that much with their shirt on" . lol =P It was a great tip though to cut the loop. Im wondering if cutting it actually did impare its locking if not imediately then maybe over time?

[wmpyr]

very interesting topic, good job on the comparison review!

[6muffinstuffer9]

why didnt you use the large tdi version also in this video?

[Mfitz819]

Nice adjustment... great idea!!!

[jjd81726354]

Where i live the law code states that you can't conceal carry a bowie knife. do you think i would be able to get away with any of these knives, since they technically aren't bowies?

[Mfitz819]

@jjd81726354 Absolutely!  A Bowie knife is typically huge. I have a Ka-Bar Heavy Bowie... and that's a seriously large knife. If that's what your law says, there is no way this knife could be interpreted as being a Bowie.

I own all three. What I carry depends on what im wearing, where im going and my mood.

[pistolpete3521]

I had a Double Agent II and it was an awesome knife. It had literally no purpose besides combat but if you are trained to use a karambit, you almost can't beat the price.

"I don't think anybody moves that much with their shirt on" xDDD

[tdawgee]

[R6Dave11]

I love my DA2, soo fast in hand.

[UNDEADcountry]

@R6Dave11 lol

[R6Dave11]

@UNDEADcountry . What's soo funny ??

[UNDEADcountry]

@R6Dave11 its fast in the hand lol

[R6Dave11]

@UNDEADcountry . You know what I mean ! If you practice knife fighting at all you'll understand. They are soo light, you barely realize you're holding it. So it's a fast blade to use. Try swinging a BK9 around and then pick up a DA2.

[UNDEADcountry]

@R6Dave11 i know it just sounds a little funny. I cant stop laughing!

[R6Dave11]

@UNDEADcountry . You must be drunk..................haha. Is your bottle fast in hand ?

[UNDEADcountry]

@R6Dave11 No im not drunk, its just funny.

*same *stop*button

[PirateKiller47]

Good review, I was looking into making the same modification to my double agent, how's it working for you?b is the retention still the sAmer, I feel like the poise you cut off was to sip the Burton from getting bumped

[DJJimCowley]

@PirateKiller47

i cut off the the whole lot aswell as the push button. and wraped the handle with paracord and made shure theres a thick bit at the bottom so it has to be squezed into the sheath... and its perfect now.

[Mfitz819]

@DJJimCowley Did you wrap the finger rings with paracord as well? Are you saying you cut off both of the rings on the sheath as well as the push button?

[DJJimCowley]

@Mfitz819 yes cut off both rings, only wrapped the actual plastic coating on the handle, the sheat still has decent retention without those stupid rings. good luck with it ;)

[speshiled220]

thats not how you would hold a karambit traditionaly

[ASpoltore]

Never really cared for neck knives, but i have a few that i rigged up with hollow 550 for belt carry.

[wolfbane38]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[angryenglish]

06:00  "I'm jerking it like this."

Funny I jerk it like that also. With my shirt on. awwwwwwee yea.

[RENOGUY777]

Good info. My double Agent 2 comes today, i will wear it openly every day! LIKE.... A.... BOSS.. :)

[bladeimm]

I dislike the TDI sheath - it has lack luster retention and gets worse with time. Also, there's usually a strange grimy chemical on the clip that doesn't seem to come off. I do like the blade. Just my opinion, the Double Agents are junk. Sure they'd 'do the job', but they're sill poor quality. Retention rings are always good, but those one's hurt the wielder's hand in combat. Very good review.

[brijseeker]

Great tips but personally I would still choose the Karambit over the other two. Seeing the devastation of a karambit first hand makes me prefer it over the other choices especially when holding inverted. The TDI would probably be my second choice simply because it is versatile when holstering. Thanks for the vids.

[Mfitz819]

@brijseeker What sort of devastation did you see first hand with a karambit? Do tell...

[brijseeker]

@Mfitz819 I've seen several instances many years ago as I grew up in another place of the world ,one instance one guy got cut so bad to the point that when they tried to mend and wrap up their cut that their meat would not set in place because they were cut to the bone resulting in 3 layers of stitches. The blade is designed to rip and cut into bone which gives a destinctive sound and thump when it does.Also seen some carelessly cut themselves training,resulting to the emergency room.

[rkshirey]

i like the D.A 1

[wnmme]

Nice review... now i need to look for a surefire but you had a good one...and gr8 tip. thanks

[salbarajas]

Thanks, my Surefire flash light is my most used tool. I love it.

[salbarajas]

Yes. I used a file to smooth out the ends.

[mwhich50]

Excellent idea, I thought you were going to cut out circular piece.  Did it perform properly after you made you final cuts?
