I was in a knife fight 3 days ago. Poor guy forgot to bring his knife.

[ihategooogle]

People making fun at this video thinking it's pointless but forget that:

1. Not everyone lives in United States of Amerigun and have legal access to firearms
2. Having a knife is still better than having nothing at your disposal. Knives have saved tons of people from dogs, wild animals, etc.

[Bloodreign]

As a guy who enjoys knives myself, that sure was a lot of words to say “carry a gun instead”

[nickb]

That's how i carry my gun incase someone pulls a fixed blade on me.

[MThrow]

Been doing this for 40+ years, you're the first one I've seen to mention it on YouTube.

[andrewhumphries]

Pros and cons to any carry. In looking at bio-mechanics, if you go for your knife with the inverted grip it takes hardly any force to pin your wrist/ hand to your side. Appreciate your vid and keep them coming.

[poncholefty]

It’s called the cavalry draw. It’s how I carry a revolver every day. Easy to draw when sitting and laying down, can be drawn with either hand, in enclosed spaces, and the shoulder does not have to be lifted as high. Cavalryman of the 19th century carried in this manner for all these reasons, but most importantly, it’s because the saber was worn on the left, so cross draw was out of the question. Famous men like Bill Hickok carried and Drew his navies in this manner. Never thought to carry a knife like this. (I always carry a small fixed blade around my neck.) but I see the benefit, and thought you would enjoy a little bit of history.

Dang, that jacket fly as hell. Does anyone know what brand?

[choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

That blade just screams at me man what a gorgeous looking knife

[_Triangularity]

You never know when you might want to spread some butter on your toast

[arctodussimus]

Outstanding!
I’ve been using a “Panther Concealment Sheath” for years with my TOPS Prather War Bowie. It is basically what you have there, except the sheath has no retention on the knife. Held in by gravity and pressure from the waistband.
It’s an excellent edc system.

[gabnekokami]

Useful for places where you don't have access to handguns or open/ concealed carry overall despite all the people saying"JuSt CaRrY a GuN"

[RDRNG]

Knife for all those asking,
I think it’s the “Hogtooth Ruffian” it’s a custom and it’s 350 bucks

[jw]

This is why you should always be cordial with someone, even if they wronged you and try to find a solution. You have no idea if the 150lb man in front of you could end your life before you could even react.

[brandong]

That Hogtooth looks so good. Must get one.

[J.DeLaPoer]

I carry the same way for IWB*. It's the best for concealed, though of course regular belt carry at several inches lower is far faster and less awkward if you're somewhere that open carry of fixed blades doesn't cause issues. I know classic boot knives seem to be out of style these days, but I always have a dagger in my boot as a last ditch option. Hard to access, but it's _never_ noticed by anyone and will often go undetected through your basic security-guard and bouncer halfass weapons check and wanding (eg; anything short of a thorough police frisk or walk through metal detector).

*Only when I don't have a pistol. If I'm carrying both then pistol goes either the same place or "appendix", and the knife is kept at the center of back so it's accessible to my off hand if needed and doesn't produce the unbalanced feeling of trying to carry knife and gun on the same side.

[rikcoach]

There are laws to protect gun owners for self defense and none for knife users.

[duud]

Here in northern Finland you could walk around town with an axe and no one would care.

[CCconstruction]

The lack of women saying “protect me” vs. the amount of guys saying “nice jacket…” has me commenting. End comment

[AlexanderHonsVonEber]

I like that jacket mate, whose it from ? Great idea on the blade too. Cheers
