Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread
No One Believed in Him, But He Shocked the Whole World Another example of Never Underestimate Anyone. Never take anybody for granted. This not only applies to boxing and other combat sports, or even only to self-defense, but to life in general. It can apply to any potential within a person, either p...

Re: Solar Eclipse!
Those are amazing shots, guys.
I noticed absolutely nothing out of the ordinary over here. To the point I nearly forgot there was an eclipse.

Re: Tip Up vs Tip Down Poll
I definitely prefer tip up. Although some knives are OK tip down, if there's no other option. Like the Military 1. I switched my Police 4 LWT to tip down, because when tip up, the contact point of the clip and handle texture was very abrasive on the pocket material. Positioned for tip-down carry, th...

Re: Visualizing the Tradeoff of Higher Hardness
I didn’t enjoy sharpening the s60v in my Starmate one little bit. It would be very interesting to see what effect an updated HT would have. My first Military was the CPM-440V version. I loved the design, but I never used it much, because I'd heard how much of a bear 440V was to sharpen. I've never ...

McDojo Breakdown: Knife Neck Pinching https://youtu.be/fJArk_s6SuI?si=lPEEQ20FDCKz78g9 This stuff that he is critiquing has to be some of the worst and most negligent stuff I've ever seen being presented as self-defense. Pinching the blade of a knife with your neck would never work in a million year...

Re: Native Scout?
Whether Spyderco would ever consider making a 3.5" Native or not, the fact that there are people asking for this, that, and the other while production is backed up is actually a good predicament for Spyderco to be in. At least it shows that people (or at least knife afis) love their products, a...

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread
Maybe knee strikes will be the next thing to be banned in UFC MMA fights. These are NOT street fights, and if you look at the rules, there is already a lot that has been banned. Back 10+ years ago when I was wracking my brain about how to decisively win street fights I download rules for fighting r...

There was once a street named Chuck Norris, but they had to rename it because nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives.

Re: Cold Steel Talk
the pocket clips are mostly good. the compact clips on voyagers and recon 1's work very well for me. the issue is they have too much tension and no smooth patch on the scales. I remove them and sand the scales a bit with 120 grit, then put the clip back on. Then I slide a few coins under the clip a...

Re: Boating and lanyards
How about attaching it to a belt loop with paracord? Then if you drop it, or if it unintentionally becomes unclipped and slips out of the pocket, it's still attached to your person. Unless that's considered a potential hazard. The paracord doesn't need to be very long.

"Such Strikes Should Be Banned!" https://youtube.com/shorts/j4s0y_nYLM8?si=6fITEGYGoxTEdsq9 This type of low side kick is devastating. People in MMA call it an 'oblique kick'. They also call the kick where the toes are pointed outwards an oblique kick. The kick in this video is simply a si...
