You can actually do that with a ghetto wave and a reversed clip. If you want to carry right side configure the clip for left hand carry. If you want left side carry right hand carry configuration will do it. Here's how I do it with a manix 2. The waved endura, with clip set up in the right configur...

My question is, how limited is this knife in an SD role? It seems that you really only get the first two strikes and after that it's basically a dagger- how wrong am I with this assumption? I believe that reverse grip methods are the most effective realistic defensive systems there are, and the &qu...

David, I'd disagree with that a bit. The idea of using the 40 after the 30 is to either 1. completely finish off the burr, if you just take a few light strokes, or 2. put a more robust (but obviously less sharp) microbevel on the edge, if you take a lot of strokes. You do not need the 40 degree stro...

Ken, it stands to reason that integral locks would have the exact same issues, but that hasn't been my experience, and I can only guess as to why. First, when I do a torque test, I like it to be realistic, so I use a firm- to white-knuckle grip. With liner locks, hand skin always sinks into the lock...

While there are bad examples of any and every lock type, in the many years I've tested locks, I've never seen any lock type fail in anywhere near the numbers as liner locks. And more telling, a liner lock made by a big name like Elishewitz, Emerson, or Onion might fail just like a cheaper made lock,...

Lot of good points guys, but on a less serious note: One option would be to run on a treadmill while watching old Kung-Fu and Ninja movies. As long as your power doesn't go out, you will be a bad-as_ in no time. :D This is a can't-miss strategy. I had a friend who did this for years, and now he's a...

The sport-based systems will give you a workout on another level than any other. All you have to do is look at the bodies at an amateur boxing/muayThai smoker or BJJ tournament versus the bodies at (say) a FMA tournament, to see a pretty striking difference. Self-defense wise, if you want to spin up...

The overwhelming vast majority of knife and blunt force weapon attacks are forehand, angle 1 attacks. I'd say it's likely the case that the most common attack is a modified angle 5, accompanied by forward drive -- the most common attack in knife training class might be a 1 though. But since knife-o...

Hey bud, good to see you! My quick thought, captured in the zillions of other postings, is that as much as I like the no-compromise RGEI designs of the P'kal and Disciple (I own both), it'd be good to see a small fixed blade that sings in RGEI, but is still very usable in all other grips... which, I...
