Well its eaten my response twice now.. I'll be brief this time and see.. Let's try again.. Yes its a good EDC tool..yes you can use the ramp for scaling fish..novel idea.. fillet etc..get those fish..no slippage with blood guts and fish goo.. You can hammer with it..with the ramp that is..I've done ...

The Gunting is a good EDC (Every Day Carry)or SDR ( Self Defense Response)or MBC ( Martial Blade Craft) tool depending on how you see it.. If you wear gloves its easy to open via the ramp aka a straight razor and to hold onto the ergonomic handle.. forward or reverse grip you cannot slip onto the bl...

Normally I'd not get involved with an answer on this..but...As a CQC Instructor to many of the agencies involved I'll give you a hint..It won't effect it at all... it being our ability as a US citizen to carry knives.. Homeland Security isn't about us carrying knives or guns..Really.. Thats not what...

Tony: Glad you had a good time...you did great..and if you keep it up I can easily see you as a Gunting Instructor..
The Gunting is not rocket science but it does involve Gros motor skills...
and its application within the flow of usage..

again..Glad you had a great time..

be safe

The Ramp get in the way? no actually it wouldn't..the ramp is a great device for distancing..We use the Ramp in the Gunting as is to keep distance between the person and the "rescue" blade itself.. as for cutting seat belts..I could use the knife blade with the ramp against the persons bod...

Good description Lunumbra!!!! only move your thumb..as in a child making a fist.. the rest of the hand NEVER moves..certainly NOT the index finger for it is the stop for saving your other fingers.. the thumb moves across the plain of the spine of the Gunting..from left to right...clearing the lockin...

Jason: Buy a Drone first..you can't play with a Gunting live blade... OK you can but its short lived for sure.. Prof Remy Presas, my instructor and founder of our style, Modern Arnis, was left handed..he was forced to use his right hand.,.casually watching him you'd think he was right handed... What...

Brandon, Gunting usage is not rocket science...yes you can get the videos and learn how to do it.. As my students say..my class work is perfectly preserved on video..I'm the same in class or on memorex..ROFL... The Gunting system is based on gross motor skills..its definately an instictive skill.. c...

Yes..Peter and I were sent a Spyder Card as an example..it was a dullish greyish color..I guess bead blasting would have made the blade a deeper battleship grey..but it makes it as some say prone to rust.. hmmtake care of your tool..//oops bad attitude.. Several agencies wanted FLAT BLACK.. somethin...
