Mike J: An outstanding high speed 3 full days at the camp this year. The amount and diversity of material covered was outatanding. Looking forward to next year if at all possible. A pleasure hooking up with old friends and meeting some great new characters who are hard core players. Matt, Mike: Outs...

My sponsor has secured the same facility again for another day of defensive knife training in NYC. This class will concentate on unarmed defensive startle responses against a knife attack most of the day. I feel the unarmed responses to a surprise attack with a knife are key to ones initially surviv...

Reg: Are you sure thats an adjective? It might be an adverb. Just kidding--------Hope all is well with you in Tx. sir. Sigs academy defensive knife training was being taught for a few years, until a few years ago, by Mike DeBethencourt who was enamored with pakal methods of knife defense. Mike has m...

As often as possible.

Every new knife of any manufacturer has cut me, usually within the first month, then they leave me alone from then on. The Persian, my latest aquisition got me slightly a few weeks ago, the military I used to carry when I trusted linerlocks got me a few times and then left me alone. Now that I think...

I have both the Bowie and Hawk book by Dwight.

Both are excellent in graphics/drawings and content IMO. Easy to follow the narrative with the drawings provided.

You are correct Tom, in name and spelling.

I'll hold on my thoughts re: his skills level however.

Brownie

Ones that will stay are the Persian I recently picked up and the Chinook 2 of course.

I may keep my military, and I'll always have an Endura around as well.

One companies loss is anothers gain.

Good luck to Mike in the new venture, he'll always land on his feet with his creds and experience and be in demand from the public sector I'm sure.

Way to go Mike, see you in Sept in Colorado for the camp.

We have secured a location for the July 11 training in NYC. The below information will get you directions to the event. http://nyjiujitsu.com/contactinfo.htm I am able to accept several more students so if you are interested in attending, let me know and we can go from there. When: Sunday, July 11, ...

spydercojoe: Go to www.folders-r-us.org and look to the index for knife tests. There is an extensive test and eval of the original which should give you an idea what can be expected of the Chinook. I've had both, the #2 is lighter with a blade mod but basically just an upgraded version which makes i...

I just wanted to add here that many people who train with the knife also carry firearms daily when going about their normal days routines. They train with and carry a knife in conjunction to the gun. That layering idea again. They understand a gun is not always a viable option and may choose to use ...

skcusloa: You admit you do not carry a gun, and do carry a Delica daily. Which will you have with you when someone attempts to rob you, or harm you in some way? Why of course, you'll have that Delica. How's that saying go again? A bird in the hand [ or in this case a small folder ] is worth ?. That ...

skcusloa: As JBRO1 has so spoken, I won't presume to answer for others relative their experience in MBC bladecraft, I'll just give you an opinion based on 14 years of defensive knife training with several top instructors around the country as well as having been an instructor to LE and civilians thr...

jbake: Nice pics and blades. I have the LCC and Chinook2 as well. Carry the Chinook2 most every day with the exception when I'm taking the Persian which I like as much as the Chinook2. Don't worry about the lockbar disengaging on the C2. It was designed so that the lock has to be almost completely d...

Spyder Persian or Chinook, or both all the time.

Straight blade? Perrin Bowie by Spyderco

Bronwie

Oh yes, you know well I carry one of your drawpoints with the Spyder Perrin almost daily since getting this great carry package and bowie from you. This thing conceals superbly and is as quick to out and using it as all get out. One **** of a carry system, and like you, when I'm not carrying that la...

Standing, dependant on where this is to be held.
