      What options do you suggest for small and belt carry. I carry and I'm very skilled , but I'm always seeking uogrades and more skill lol, I think most of us do. At 45, I've boxed, have 2o years of different martial arts training and fights, but my true love and passion has always been weapons, knives and batons mostly.
      I'm seeking the best behind the belt or waist carry, about 1.5 inch blade, hand and finger guarded knife for edc. I've seen what a slipped hand looks like, and while defending chances are blood will get on that hand, so having guards is very important to me. I did have customs knives made for me, and they are absolutely perfect, but costly, and I need to get some for my sons and daughters now, who are older and moved out. I did train them, but again, this is real life, an attack by surprise from the rear allows for 6 seconds before the lights go out, a bit longer for someone who understands and stays relaxed and moves quickly, but not much. I find a small blade is the absolute best, it allows speed, enough edge to attack hands and arms , and long enough to cause damage to the leg of the attacker as well. Hopefully disabled at this point, but if not, they will have to ket go, allowing for a longer blade or firearm to be used.

    100% agree, I used to carry folders. One of the pet peeves for me in most knife training courses is they NEVER go over the ABC's of deployment. I teach both folder and fixed blade defense. my personal preference is fixed blade. One thing to consider, a short fixed blade ,,,attach a piece of thin kevlar cordage to the end of the sheath...you can pocket the knife in a front or back pocket. loop the cordage around your belt. when you pull the knife the sheath comes off the knife and cordage retains the sheath.. With some practice the kevlar cordage can also be used as a control mechanism...this method allows for better concealability for shorter fixed blade knives.

    @larryv9645 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Great video! I also like the suspenders because they keep your pants up without having to tighten your belt to the point you can't breathe or move well. Most men by the age of 35 or so have a belly that is bigger around than their hips. So, when your pants slide down to your hips, they can literally fall to the ground. Saw this happen at a Halloween party to a guy with a semi-large belly. He was totally embarrassed. I like to hike a lot and never go hiking without my suspenders. I know my pants are going to stay up and I don't need to tighten my belt. Another benefit, any firearm fully loaded, even the smallest semi-automatic, is heavy enough to want to cause you pants to slide down. Suspenders enable someone to carry a full size 1911 inside or outside carry without it weighing down your pants.

    I just found your channel and became an instant subscriber.
    I used to carry a double edged SOG Pentagon, then 2 years ago I had a stroke and am in a wheelchair most of the time. Let me tell you from experience, a double edge is a damn good way to cut yourself! (Done it a few times.) Flippers and OTF's take too long to deploy in a self defense scenario. I'm now in the process of trying to find __that perfect single edge_ to serve as a backup to the revolver I carry (remember, stroke. The left hand is useless. It's difficult to operate a slide one handed), so I've amassed quite a collection. I most definitely *_DO NOT_* recommend carrying your gun or knife in your EDC bag if you are in a wheelchair;
    *1)* *_You are in a wheelchair_* The critters will see you as an easy target. You don't want to be digging in a bag for your weapon.
    *2)* If said critter gets your bag, you are now defenseless.
    I say this from experience. I've had to use a knife twice to get a critter off me since the stroke. The surprise and shock on their face was priceless. Weak side cross draw if you are in a wheelchair is definitely the way to go.

    Just saw your demo. Nice job! I like to cary my fixed blade at the center of my body. The same as you. I move my belt buckle over and skip one loop to the left. The belt buckle is now off center so my knife fits flat on my belt. This helps in two ways. One it keeps the knife and sheath flat and when you cary your side arm the handle of the knife is not to close to your pistol messing with your draw of the knife. This helps me with my right hand draw. Thanks for the demo.

    I do leather working too so actually put button snaps on my belt and crkt minimalist sheath and it’s where a belt buckle would normally be. It’s not noticeable wearing a t shirt and can be drawn with either hand. Not a fan of crkt but it’s the sleekest option I could come up with. If you had a similar product with better steel I’d get it. The knife design and finger shape sold me on it. Carried it there for years as a trucker.

My Creely Mako (green) and Jason Knight Jurassic Bird & Trout (purple) also fit great in these sheaths. My Pro-Tech Les George SBR fixed blade (orange) fits ok in that Bradford sheath, too.

    Guys miss out on being able to use a bra to conceal carry. I am thin, so I can not carry stuff on my waist like some men can. I carry a 13" (7.5" blade) Cold Steel San Mai Tanto II under my right armpit using a paracord cross shoulder harness with the blade pointed up and back. This style allows me to turn my left shoulder forward to conceal my right hand reaching up under my shirt and drop and draw the blade from a Kydex pancake holster with the blade facing the outside of my forearm and completely concealed until I expose my forearm which reveals the blade side to the attacker already in a defensive position and with NO TELEGRAPHING that I have a weapon in that hand. I can then draw my firearm with my weak hand (you may want to do it opposite, weak hand knife, strong hand gun). I guess if you have Dunlops, waist carry is better. For skinny chick like me it will always be stealthy, fast, and sassy. I've always got the drop on the guy who has to draw. 😁

    My favorite way to carry a small fixed blade is vertical on my suspenders. I don't know anyone else that does it, but I find it is the best of both worlds. I can get it easily, and its nearly invisible to others. I mount it just above the adjustment clip, which makes it stay put very well. I also don't know a lot of people in their thirties like myself that wear suspenders at all, but I like them sooo much more than a belt. maybe they will have a comeback someday.

    • @TkellKnives
      @TkellKnives  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cross draw is just my preference for a few reasons. For me cross draw is less about speed and more about visibility and defense posture. Cross draw is typically in a location on your belt that is unused, which allows for side carry of other items, cross draw prints less, also when drawing a blade from cross draw whether your drawing weak or strong hand your hands are more in a position to defend your vitals front the front. Vertical in the 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock (where i carry other CCW items) position can expose your torso more, is slower to get the blade in front of you, and telegraphs your movements more. It isn't "wrong" to not carry cross draw it just suits some defense styles better than others. You're wise to train with drawing from what is most comfortable for you.

    • @TkellKnives
      @TkellKnives  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Folders have a place for general task and some companies make some good blades. Myself and many other people choose to carry a blade for more than general task...like defense. For a defensive application deployment time is slower on a folder, they mount in your pocket which limits accessibility to only the side your carrying it on, if the folder doesn't lock up all the way in the heat of the moment the consequences to your fingers can be devastating. Many a person has lost fingers due to a lock failing. Folders are typically horribly balanced.
      A fixed blade has less failure points, can be accessed both strong and weak handed, is better balanced (mine are at least) and generally are more robust for heavy duty task like prying.

    If we are dealing with a backup knife weak side is OK, but not a cross-draw. You need to bear in mind that your strong arm most likely will be busy and you'll only have your weak arm available. Additionally, a cross-draw can easily be blocked resulting in no strong arm, no main weapon, no backup weapon.

    • @TkellKnives
      @TkellKnives  2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      This is your personal opinion. Most people in the market already have a primary weapon strong side, your belt line on strong side is prime real estate. Also having a blade accessible with a weak hand reverse draw is exactly why you need crossdraw in the event that your strong side is impeded.
