How to Quick-Draw a Pocket Knife: Inside the Crucible Volume 3

[warriorofsteel01]

ugh...this is hard to preform....

[TheHamCutr]

Cool I practice this

[shawn7656]

What about a tip-up style pocket clip? This draw doesn't really work for that

I love the no-nonsense approach of this guy. I have several of his dvds under both of his names mcann and grover. He tells it like it is with a sense of humor. Crucible series is really awesome stuff. Gun, knife, fighting and much more. Keep up the good work!

It was not as in the videos we see where two guys are face to face. It was random killing but the killer could have been giving classes, believe me he was such an expert and immediately after the killing walking so calmly to his car. The beauty of the cameras was that he and his friends were arrested within minutes. I would really like to know Mr. McCann point of view because clearly on the video he seems to give a class to professionals which makes sense.

[mauriceam]

Maybe your arguments are right but I would like to know if everytime you go out to have a drink or go to see a movie you carry a knife with you watching everybody in case you would be attacked and then use a special technique? In this case in the US why don't you carry a gun? It should be more efficient. In Europe you would need a special permit to walk with arms. I think this poor fellow even prepared had no chance to avoid the knife.

@Mauriceam

Of course some Bad Guys will learn but then good guys will to, there will always be wolves you have to not only protect the sheep but arm them speaking figuratively. The goal is to take away all the easy targets and make the wolves job alot harder

@ mauriceam, the average thug does not reflect on things like this their mindset is pro-action and offense, what Mr. McCann and Paladin are trying to do is give instruction to the average defender and allow them a fighting chance

That's something I've never thought of when deploying my knife.Ill have to practice that.Great video!

[Robert098123]

Wow, that was fantastic. Very clear; really great techniques and insight.

[mauriceam]

I don't see the interest of showing that on youtube. Do you want to train and teach the bad guys that will kill randomly in the streets. McCann self defense videos are interesting for general public because they deal with self defense, here he shows attack technique. I understand that it is quite appropriate for police to see that but I am quite unsure for civilians.

@mauriceam We believe in empowering people with the Knowledge to defend themselves if they choose. Crime has been happening long before YouTube. Innocent and law-abiding citizens should not be left naive and ignorant. Paladin customers understand that being able to count on yourself is truly the best defense possible when it comes to the seconds that mean life or death. #WillToLive

@mauriceam Knowing how to quickly deploy your pocket knife in the event of being attacked is what Mr. McCann is showing here. How to quickly defend yourself.

[mauriceam]

@PaladinPress I respect your point of view although I don't share it, probably because in Europe citizens are not allow to buy weapons. I find the different video of Mr. McCann quite interesting but this one is rather an attack video and not a self defense one. Also I guess that in the US, citizens that are afraid to be attacked will rather buy a gun to defend themselves. I remember to have seen on BBC a documentary made with footage of surveillance cameras. Two guys were coming out of a disco.

[PaladinPress]

@mauriceam This clip is most definitely not an attack video. It's how to deploy your pocket knife quickly in the event of being attacked. Mr. McCann even describes a senario such as the one with the two guys coming out of the disco. At attacker moves so incredibly fast, that it's essential to know how to quickly use your chosen method of defense.

[mauriceam]

@PaladinPress Suddenly one took a knife as quickly as seen on your video and stabbed to death a passing guy he didn't know. It went so fast that without the camera this guy would never have been arrested. Well I think that some of viewers are just now practicing and then...

[PaladinPress]

@mauriceam Had the victim had some training on how to defend himself against a vicious knife attack, he might of saved himself.

[TheDmc311]

Good vid!!

[jenniferjbrown55]

Very nice

[h00bastank18]

My grandpa used to pull out his old wooden pocket knife with this technique, except he was 70 and did it twice as fast!
