Okay I loved the video for starters....but I HATE videos like yours because when I'm set with buying the 4 the 6 and junglas your last little tidbit with the 5 and the maxpedition pouch is gonna make me invest more money!!!!

@BrianRoxUrSox Haha! I know the feeling my friend.

My only thought on that grip and draw is that by drawing the knife out like that you risk cutting into your sheath, which would dull your knife. I don't think it would do anything to the sheath, but it will knock off a fine polished edge and make it less as a sharp as it was prior. Maybe a cross draw would be better so for reverse grip draws you can place more pressure on the spine without losing any speed or ruining your edge. That just might be a little tricky with your rig. Good video though

@naugotwolf A cross draw would be a great idea if I could manage to get the rig under control. It IS heavy. The knife is heavy and the rest of the gear adds quite a bit to the ESEE 5 rig I've got. Still, its 'good weight', but I think it cuts out a cross draw option.

I thought they were made of 1095 steel.

@tribunation They are. I put an annotation in there, but if you are watching on a mobile phone you might not see it.

@Wolverpaw I don't watch action movies. For someone who know how to use it, reverse grip is legit.

[Wolverpaw]

yeah, yeah... reversed grip for self d..?? sure... you've seen to many movies dude.. It's like barenocklefighting - the simple straight crosspunches or straight groindkicks are the only real effective strategy, all other fansy moves just does'nt work. the same with the reversed grip on a knife - I was attaced by a jerk holding the knife like this and he was'nt even close of getting areal cut on me before I got a hold of his arm - I broke his thumb and punshed him in the face - then went home...
