Hi Pyrolyzer-- That's a cool observation. I've noticed, too, that as I've gained more experience I've been better able to see the similarities among various systems, rather than just the differences. Seems that though there may be a lot of paths on which to begin, they all eventually (at least poten...

To answer Mejoomeok's question, I carry a Native (the American version) as my primary carry. It's the only knife I like that I have a trainer version of currently (my friends at the Spyderco factory helped me out with that way-back-when). I use a stainless-steel-barrelled ballpoint pen as my 'weak-s...

MeJoomeok-- If you haven't checked out Michael Janich's site yet, you should. He's got articles and pictures of not only the Yojimbo (both the production version and a cool Mike Snody Prototype), but also several other of his designs/collaborations. This link'll get you right to the Yojimbo page: ht...

Hi Dave K, I've heard that the Tempest may not be available much longer, so if you wait too long to decide you may just find that your choice has been made by default! Seriously, though, the two models you're considering do vary quite a bit in feel, carry options, materials, blade shape (especially ...

One thing that's not apparent until you've gone through the MBC series (or at least a given level) multiple times is the continuing evolution of the system. Mike works hard with his assistant instructors Matt Z. and Mike R. to tweak the curriculum and the way it's presented. The core remains a const...

I'll second what Qship said. A Yojimbo trainer is essential because most of us have no other way of approximating that model (one that folds AND locks, anyway) in our training--i.e., we can't build one ourselves. Fixed blade knives are easier to mock up. A production version is nice to have availabl...

Hello franknife, I looked at a Scorpius last week at Spyderco's Factory Outlet store. The knife has quite a unique handle shape, which I found to feel particularly good when held in reverse grip. I'm not a fan of steel handles, so I asked whether a variation made with G-10 or FRN is planned. The sto...

? for corrections officers & LEOs
Jim, Rex, et. al-- I appreciate your willingness to share your experience with us here on the forum. MBC surely is fun to practice, but as the most critical goal is self-protection I find your (and other) reality-checks valuble to bear in mind at each training session. My current question is: what t...
