@@gdaman3700 some states require that "undetectable" blades, i.e. plastic, ceramic, bone, ext. Must be sold in a way that makes them detectable from the manufacturer. Thus the metal rings that they don't recommend you remove but can. Nice of them as opposed to putting it into the handle or blade.
I keep the FGX tanto attached to my showerheads, every shower in the house. A little bit of "sharpening" with the highest grit sandpaper you can find will put a paper-slicing edge on it. But it won't keep that edge at all. My girlfriend keeps a FGX Boot Blade 1 in her flower pot since the "knife" can't rust and digs pretty well in a pinch.
If I put that in my shower, it would almost guarantee Murphy’s Law to intrude and have me slip on soap and while trying not to fall, knocking off the suction cup and the knife would undoubtedly land pointy side up, or at least in the direction of my ribs…..that’s why I keep my AR-15 in the shower with me instead of a plastic knife. 😂
Thanks for the video. I was looking for an FGX comparison video and you covered all the small ones. I'll have to see if you also take a look at the FGX Wasp and Tai Pan.
The only purpose of these is for self defence.... And for price you can't complain. The metal rings are to get past laws, both American and international laws. Since some has restricted plastic/Non permissive knives.
Can't have a non metallic knife but an AK47 no problem. Not saying anything necessarily about firearms but restrictions like that make no sense. On the other hand in Florida if you have a concealed firearms and weapons license you can basically carry anything except a ballistic knife
its to comply with the "laws"* if you wanted to get around them youd just not comply and use an actual metal knife or a better weapon than a plastic spear
@@TheGreyman61also no in all states you can carry and use all weapons in all ways other than actually illegal ways like murdering someone or whatever else like that legally without anything they say you ""need" for it to be "legal"" cause of the second amendment
No but I have seen a completely non metallic horizontal sheath for the smaller of the 2 push daggers coldsteel makes. I don't remember who sells it but if you put in the search engine sheath for Coldsteel FGX push dagger it should come up
They're mainly intended to be bought in bulk and stashed all over to provide an easily accessible (though admittedly very low-quality) weapon in a pinch
The rings are for legal purposes
in what way? i never knew that.

I knew it had to be for that purpose
Having metal inbedded or on a non metallic knife defeats the purpose of having a non metallic knife
@@TheGreyman61 agreed

I assume that’s a 5inch boot blade? The shorter one is sturdier less bend so I recommend that one.
I actually do have several of them, scattered around the house and the property, including in the shower.
These are mass produced shanks. These are not slashing weapons they are puncturing weapons. FGX Chaos absolutely can ventilate someone
you could make them slicing weapons if you sharpened it
@@gabe-we8hz The material of the blade doesn’t really allow for sharpening
I'll save you some time. Get a couple of the ring daggers, the wasp and some of the ballisongs.
You should try the FGX Chaos, probably the best one
Try the Wasp and the Push Daggers.

and no theres no real "laws" about weapons in either places cause that tyranny

The rings are so they can be considered metallic for legal purposes. I personally hate a tyrannical government… so I cut mine off.
Watch out for the deadly spinach, especially in the shower. It lurks in the shadows.
Do they come with sheaths?
No

Shower knife I love that amazing thought
people need to realize all knife laws apply to these.
What's a "knife law?" Like do I need to go to the police station to register my kitchen knives?
Depends on if you kitchen is outdoors or in a public bar b q 😮
You don't need to stab 30 or 40 times with that. Unless you stab in non lethal areas, hit artery and its over. Not hard to do that either
🤦🏻♂️
its to comply with the "laws" that say you have to have some kind of metal so they think you cant make it go through a metal detector

😂 Love this channel
Does it cut through bone?
probly not
I don't think they are meant to be use as actual knives.
They're mainly intended to be bought in bulk and stashed all over to provide an easily accessible (though admittedly very low-quality) weapon in a pinch
@@robertperrin751 Pretty sure they're meant to be brought into a courthouse and shank a prison snitch.
@@nimbly1693 That, too. Also TSA.
And YOUR BRAIN not to be used for thinking!
ofc they are not meant to be used as knives in the sense of cutting BUT they are 100% still intended to be used as stabbing and thrusting weapons.
