If you are using a Kydex or other sheath for a neck knife, using paracord gives an assailant a weapon against you. In a grapple, if he gets hold of the sheath or cord, especially from behind, he can strangle you & there's little you can do about it. Replace the paracord with a metal ball type chain which will break apart before your neck breaks or you strangle. Just a suggestion if you expect to use a neck knife as a tactical survival knife. Also neck-hung knives can move around, so you might have to grope for it - especially if it's under clothing, which you have to dig through. Wear a knife intended to defend you as a horizontal appendix-carry knife on the belt or IWB on your non-dominant hand's side, but close enough to the belt that will allow you to grab it with either hand. If your are carrying a pistol on strong side, the grappler will be concentrating on that arm & the pistol, trying to keep you from drawing it or grabbing it himself. This can leave your non-dominant hand free to go for the concealed belt knife. You can pull a small 1 1/2" to 2 1/2" blade with your off hand & go to work creating enough distance as he backs off to get out your primary weapon (or run the hell away - a better choice most often). If your state allows "dagger-style" double-sharpened blades, go for a push blade (sometimes called a punch knife) grip it between first & second fingers - handle solidly in the palm - & go to work. It's just about impossible for anybody to get it from you since all that protrudes is a double-edged blade. Anybody who can throw a punch, even weakly, already knows how to use it. It's a great force-multiplier. Look for an asymmetric handle, not a T-handle meant to be held between your 2nd & ring fingers. Shivworks makes excellent ones - but they are over $100.00. They also make the equally expensive Clinch Pick, which looks more like a normal knife - but beware, it is ONLY sharpened on the SPINE side, so resist the temptation to put your thumb on it 😪. It is also impossible for somebody to get the knife away from you since all they can grab is the blade. It's plumb-shaped handle fits inside your palm & will not twist or turn or protrude in any way. They have a version for about $100 and version 2 for about $135 IIRC. Somebody told me they make a blade sharpened on both sides - but I've never seen it on their site. Since this is not meant as an everyday knife, but only in case of a close combat grappling situation, really any inexpensive highly pokey knife with 1 slicing edge will do. Cheaper steel is much less of an issue if you only need actually to use it once. Get a practice version if one is offered for training & you can grapple with a friend - or take a class. If the sheath doesn't have the kind of clip that lets you wear it comfortably, there are many aftermarket clips on Amazon & other sites.
Bought my SPEW at Walmart. Excellent neck carry for hiking, small camp tasks, and wade fishing. I took it on a fishing trip boating and wading down the river. Wasn’t worried about losing it because it was $20.00 at the time. Easy to strop back to a razor. Love the thin warncliffe.
Been eyeing this for over a year and just picked up this same one in green. I’d been looking for a one and done light for the house. Wow the quality is top tier and the throw is so nice. Flip to spot and blast a beam into the night.
Dude the mini sheepdog is amazing. It’s Teheran whole reason I’m looking at figity knives lol. I have a 40 min drive to work and that knife makes the drive a walk in the park. Def going to check out the walnut now
The copper torch you have is an i5T, no swirls on the tail cap. I have the periwinkle i3T, it’s beautiful. I have secured a periwinkle i5R for next week. I’m curious to see them side by side.
I stopped watching and thumbed down. Anyone who cannot get into clamshell packaging, let alone a goddamn _knife enthusiast_ shouldn't be trusted with sharp objects to begin with.
I have the same exact one but it’s USB-C V5 model the price is $9.99 with a total of $18.67 and I love it. It works good I bought this for my car. It has a Freon leak and I filled it up with Freon dye found the leak works great
I’ve got dozens of tools and bits but I haven’t seen a tool to adjust a pivot screw with a square hole. That’s the deal breaker for me with this Gerber knife - no pivot adjustment nor disassembly possible.
My screwpop is really hard to slide the blade up. I don't know if it's defected or the magnet is too strong or whatever. I tried my other blades and that had the same issues
This EDC pry bar hype... I never ever needn't such thing in my ED life for more than 50 years. No one was talking about it few years ago - and no one will in few years again.
My oldest stepson and I each have one. I use mine for yard work knife. Chopping plants and weeds in the flower bed. I collect knives and it's the cheapest. If I break it Walmart sales them for $25 bucks. Lol
I have the Ekko w titanium bolster and micarta, from knifecenter. One of my faves. Ray Laconico is a legend. I have the stainless steel pyrite and while i like it as a knife, it's very slick to grip. Ekko in any version wins over the pyrite for me. My only complaint is that I wish the jimping extended further out along the spine like the pyrite does
