Self Defense Knife // Regiment Blades | Episode #98
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июн 2022
- Hands down, the best knife for self-defense. Little to no training required.
It's back.. Introducing Regiment Blades from legendary combatives master Al Salvitti, the original creator of the discontinued Colonel Blades.
At an early age Al Salvitti earned a black belt in TaeKwondo and fought for over 20 years. He trains US Special Forces on edged weapons and created Regiment Blades to simplify / speed up the their training process.
For these same reasons of simplicity and effectiveness, the Regiment Blade is ideally suited as a personal self defense knife. With little to no training ordinary people can wield this powerful tool. The colonel blade is also an ideal concealed carry weapon carried comfortably inside the waistband (IWB).

OMG ! I really thought these knives were gone forever. And I bought 5 in a slight panic. I carry one everyday. The very best design I’ve ever seen.
Haha, I bought three myself.
Yeah now I cant find just one in stock lol thanks
@@BasedOddz back in stock soon!
@@CarryTrainer could you please compare it to a regular punch dagger like the one made by cold Steel?
Thank
@@thetribe2101 no comparison
I've been looking for an EDC knife for a while, there's so many choices out there. As soon as I saw this and went back and watched the videos with Al from previous years this is a no brainer, nothing else like it out there that I can see and the price is right in the range that I was looking to spend. I ordered one the other day and just got my email today that it has been shipped, can't wait to get it!!! Thank you!!!!
Had the original Colonel Blade but someone figured they needed mine worse than me and stole mine.
Just ordered the Regiment Blade (fixed blade). I like to wear mine horizontal on my belt so I'll remove the clip from the sheath and run a few zip ties through the holes in the sheath so I can wear it the way that works for me.
I've done this with my Cold Steel push knife and a few other fixed blade knife sheaths. Works fantastic!
Been waiting for the return of these. Better late than never.
God vid Mick. I’ve been running a Colonel folder and 2 different
LowViz straights for years after shooting with some Homeland Sec guys that turned me onto them.
The design works. Hands down best knives in training to be effective in either primary or secondary.
I’ll be buying Al’s new Regiment models to give to my sons to get them up to speed.
Still have the OG colonel and love it with the addition of an ulti clip, its what I wear when I workout/run, I'm gonna pick up a plastic one for special occasions 😉
Thanks for the Vid Mick 🤙🏻
Getting one of these for sure
I just picked one up a few days ago from BCM they had them in stock. My folder should be delivered tomorrow, can't wait!
So far, one of my go to EDC knives. Sheath is great as well!
i got the colonel double edge! gift from a special friend. just bought my new folder and g10! glad he's back!
Just bought mine, too! Love those glasses, too! You should get salesman of the year ;)
Love those knives! Buying both materials.
Bring back that stache man! Good video as always
Awesome got the notification from BCM that there were in and immediately at 10pm bought one lol just in case they ran out
I have the colonel folder, low vz and no vz on my runs! Gonna order a regiment folder now!!!
I bought one about five years ago it had a wood handle and a leather carrying case that could go on to a belt or down in your pants like that it is a good one and I had identified it the same way it's just fighting with somebody and someone jazz with a 3-inch blade we'll miss somebody up for sure good video thanks
I'm buying multiple in the next couple weeks. I found out about these after they stopped making the colonel and I spent more than double MSRP on a low viz. Worth every penny.
They’re live and in stock… just ordered my low viz pro 🔥🔥🔥
Oh boy 20 sec into the video and I have to tell you how much I love you. I wish you were my friend lol. Great video
great video, amazing knife just got the low vis pro
I wondered why these disappeared, right when everyone wanted one. Glad to hear it's just legal shiz. I'll be getting one ASAP.
Getting mine TOMORROW!
Honest evaluations.
Just seen these in stock the other day and had to grab. Have the colonel folder and regiment fixed.
Ah A good ole Wizard of OZ reference! This is why Mickey is the best lol. Oh and the guns, knives, and gear are cool too lol
I like the fixed blade with the sheath that carries like a CCW.
I have the Colonel straight edge. It is great
Interesting, wasn't expecting this guy to return to the market. I will stick with the El Nino and Clinch Pick from Craig at Shivworks.
He never intended you be off market.
"Excellent"!!! Subscribed too...
Yes sir. A GOOD well made and good feeling knife is just as important as an CCWP/EDC pistol and pepper spray
Nice Wizard of OZ reference.
Looks solid
Watched for the reminder about just how brutal a small knife can be. Truly frightening.
This is actually interesting, I just discovered this on knife center, I just wish I could hold one first
I carry a t handle punch knife appendix , handgun 3 o'clock iwb. 3.5 inch blade. I find that the t handle rides lower and can get very firm purchase. Another consideration for a pull and punch situation. Coming from a boxing background it can be very lethal.
Hey Mick, what do you use to carry additional mags with you? Maybe a good video idea for some other time. perhaps I missed a video you posted in the past mentioning what you use to carry with you extra mags.
Neomag
Bout damn time Al!!!! Lol Most of us had given up on ya.
Great review! Btw, what is the brand name of our belt? Looks like a very good low profile belt.
I'm wanting to get a few of these. Just curious, does anyone know if these knifes are illegal to conceal in most states?
Anyone know the edge angle on the Regiment Blade? Edited: I emailed Regiment Blades and they let me know you should sharpen the blade at
18°
For all the steel experts here - How does the steel used for the original colonel compares to the new regiment?
These are way cheaper than the colonel too. Buying the G10 for the entire fam. 🇺🇸💪🏻
What model glasses? I don't see them on the Tactical website. Thanks.
I wish the colonel folder was in stock
Order placed!
It's always out of stock. Too hard to get one of those blades. I want one to keep in my duty belt. Policeman in Brazil.
Warrior poets folder is by far superior to colonel folder with the best features.
Where can I buy one online?
Tempted to order one but ~$100 for 8Cr14MoV is a bit questionable. I get that it's a self defense knife and steel doesn't really matter a whole lot in that kind of scenario as long as it's sharp, but it would be nice to see a slightly lower price tag or a slightly better steel for the knife. I'm between this and a Ka-Bar TDI with a custom kydex sheath, but I may go with the Regiment Blade as it would be about the same price or a bit cheaper than a TDI + custom sheath.
Can anyone inform me of the blade length of these knives?
3:09 wizard of oz lol
I have the OG colonel and it’s awesome. The only thing I don’t understand is how WPS was able to steal the design of the original Colonel folder without any repercussions 🤷♂️
I wouldn't call it stealing
@@tylerb556 I dunno, Colonel claim their design was patented
@@tylerb556 they kinda stole A lot of colonel blade’s designs. Even though I don’t like the owner of colonel blades that much I do see a resemblance between wps and cb. For example, their pen design is an exact copy of the colonel’s design. Maybe colonel blades stole their pen design from someone else as well but I just thought I’d point it out
You should do another video with him
I just spent the day with him
Do you know if they plan to sell a training knife soon?
It's in the works
Why put serrations on the folder? Makes no sense at all.
I do however love these knives and am very glad to see them back!
It's that effective if you had a multiple assailant?
Love my old colonel blade.
Now is the packaging more discrete then the colonel ones? Last time our local european custom agency got in a hissyfit over the knife because of the packaging. Luckily hunting and skining is a legal purpose to own the knife.
Yeah not much freedom here on the wrong side of the atlantic ocean.
Edit: Almost forgot, love the mustache in the throwback clip!
How would you suggest mounting this on a battle/war belt?
There are a myriad of attachment options depending on the belt
Are they sill in business?
Why would you choose one over the other in regards to the foldable and non foldable?
Literally the Fox blades that Warrior Poet was advertising. Still very nice, just saying.
Nice.thats a kool blade..need other kinds of weapons, theres alot of sceneriosi,a firearm might not be the best choice some times.. just got me a cross bow. next looks like I need one of those..
But you could put it in your left hand to keep your right hand free to draw your weapon?
Where can I get this knife ?
Wizard of Oz!!!!
What is the difference with a push dagger...which is the same or more intuitive to use...? For me it is nothing new, it is smoke for sale..
Personal preference. Same concept… you punch the shit out of whoever’s attacking you
Are there any other alternatives for tight budgets…😬
I want a karambit!
We have karambit at home.
Karambit at home:
Serrated edged blades are harder to sharpen. Also, in a self defense knife, it can get caught on clothing. I used to prefer a serrated edged blade for defense because it causes more tissue damage, but then I did research.
They cut
@@CarryTrainer true.
@@podsmpsg1 when you are goong through an adrenaline dump and you’re punching with full strength and power, your serrations will not get caught on the attacker’s clothes. Whoever came up with that idea is an armchair thinker.
Serrated edges are for work, not for fighting. A tiny increase in cutting power for auch higher chance of getting stuck isn't a trade off that makes much sense. It's a cool idea, I pretty much always carry a knife as a support for my side arm. Someone grabs my shooting arm, I've got an option with my off hand as well.
Yep they need to make a straight edge version for the folder or it’s a pass for me. Can’t carry the full tang in my state so. 🤷♂️
I think the knife is good for someone who is not comfortable with a gun. But if someone has a gun, CS spray is much better a bridge between fists and a gun.
Is there any realistic situation you would want to pull out a knife vs pull out a gun when they are drawn in the same way? I don’t really buy the reasons here.
Something like the Clinch Knife that you can pull while in a grapple makes sense. Someone can pin your arms down and that knife can still be reached/used since it is accessed below the belt. This deployment does not make sense over a gun or CS Spray.
Has there ever been a recorded self defense situation where a knife like this was used successfully and LEGALLY?
@Karol Krawczyk and then you lose your pistol because the person grabs the gun with two hands. And because knifes cause injuries that kill much later through blood loss, the other person may die in 30 minutes, but you are shot and killed on the spot.
That’s reality.
Edit: for clarity, if someone has two hands on your gun and you were not open carrying on a level 2-3 holster, you are going to lose the gun if it’s not your full concentration with both hands. you will lose that leverage battle. If you have a gun in a basic level 1 retention holster and the other person even knows you have a gun, you are already doing something VERY wrong.
Any situation where you can postulate your knife being better is one where likely you could have legally prevented it with CS spray. If you pull a knife on someone, that is a deadly threat and you can be shot.
@Karol Krawczyk
Again though, you are talking about situations where a police officer is wrestling for his gun with a REQUIRED open carry level 3 holster and thick duty belt capable of holding over 150 lbs (and hopefully a second or third Gen KBAR TDI with a locking sheath). That is much different than any normal civilian that will usually be CC and if the other person knows you have a gun, you are already doing something wrong.
And even with the cops, a taser or CS spray would likely have prevented the fight for the gun (or the gun should have been pulled and used prior).
So as I stated, even theoretically, a CS spray is a better choice than a knife for 99% of all situations. It is legal to use in more situations, non-lethal, prevents wrestling for a gun, and if you did something wrong, you can apologize later without handcuffs.
If you are fighting in a car, yes, a knife like the TDI is better and more accessible than a gun depending on how it is positioned on the belt, but again, how the hell did you get in that situation in the first place?
Knives for self defense are mostly imaginary situations better avoided. Knives for attacking are real, but in that case you are the bad guy.
I really lost it when you said “I’m an average size man, if you put something into my insides that’s 5.5-6”, that’s hitting a lot of good bits” 6:45
Will the regiment go through a skull though?
What brand belt are you using?
Edcbeltco use carrytrainer for a code
@6:50 “ohh I can think of a few ppl who wanna stick something 5-6” into a person…”
Ok I’ll see myself out now….
Rip everlast you were a good heavy bag
Actually there's bone, ligaments, muscle and with all that, it can be harder to go through than a bag. Also, any person who's been in a real situation with knives, knows there's no such thing as a knife fight. Also, if someone knows how to fight, holding a knife like that could be very dangerous.
Any idea what the difference is between the Regiment folder and the Colonel folder? 🙏🏻
Regiment is the new company. Anything else is a copy. The owner and patent holder is a close friend of mine. Order from regimentblades.com
@@CarryTrainer the Colonel Folder currently being sold on the "colonelblades" website has a higher quality blade than this one. So while it may technically be a "copy," they are using higher-quality material.
@@CarryTrainer To clarify, they are using N690Co steel vs 8Cr14MoV steel. Additionally, the Warrior Poet Society is selling their version of this knife as well called the WPS Fox Folder Knife, which also uses the higher quality N690Co steel.
@chrislawrence7 having had extensive experience with all iterations of these blades, the current Regiment is built better.
That said, patent infringement is also a thing and so is integrity.
I will support the guy who worked his butt off to bring them to market and go through the process to protect his work.
Yeah not really of use where I live, need to keep a knife a bit blurry as to the purpose I have it for and it needs to clearly be able to be used as a tool. This knife has one use, and you can't just say "oh it is a utility knife" if dealing with the 5-0. Something more traditionally pocket knife like without spring assist is a better fit for my daily carry "extra sharp" knife.
Who's got these? Wanted one for years after the S12 vid.
If it wasn’t made of 8cr14mov for near 120 bucks I’d prefer d2 or 14c28n
They don't make Colonel blades anymore?.
No more Colonel Blades, but it rebranded to the Regiment Blades as Mick is showing.
@@TheBroBie Oh. I see.
The best knife for self defense is the knife you have in your hand at the time of the defense.

I won't let Mickey near my garbage cans or heavy bag.
Where can I buy ? Take my money 💵
There is nothing scarier than a damn knife! I would hate to get cut the hell up and would way rather just get shot lol! That is a sick ass blade! I got to get me one!
Ugh they are out of stock on their online store
Wow bro. 2018 looking like a queen look a like.
I always liked that blade I tried to get 1 a few yrs back after watching Tony S giving a speech on it I think they were sold out being from NY I won't be surprised its not shipped to my location truly dislike this state
Damn. Dat porn stache back in 2018. 😅
That garbage can is tin
Half the states in the country you would be arrested just for carrying that knife
Unless you have a concealed permit?
@@DallasJonez no. Some have restrictions on criteria like double edged blades and grips.
@@FilmFlam-8008 I live in WA state and have carried an OTF double edged Benchmade (autocrat?) for years. I love showing it off especially to cops. I also have a karambit style fixed blade similar to the Regiment, they've seen that too.
WA must be pretty lenient
I carry what I'm going to train with and use to protect my family and I. If it's concealed then it's concealed. Right?
@@DallasJonez
In WA, you cannot conceal carry a dirk or dagger, but you can own it or open carry it. You cannot own a switchblade.
If the cops actually care or enforce laws is a different thing though.
Overpriced
Barrens garbage can review. Good capacity. Durable. Takes a stab like a champ.
If you have the time and reason to draw a knife to defend yourself, you have the time and reason to draw your firearm. Knives are not a good tool for non-LEO citizens in 99.99999% of self defense situation. Save the time, belt space, and money on something better. Tourniquet and med training > centerline knife and knife fighting training, change my mind.
I mean m into guns just as much as the next person and could totally see where this nice could be of good use
@@mr.sphlictor9649 in a defensive ccw situation for the average citizen, there are very very few situations where this would make sense. I would appreciate it if you could identify one.
@@ProfessionalPepper if you are getting attacked by a maniac who is trying to cause brutal harm with his fist. This will stop all that quick. You don’t always have to hide behind a gun in every situation.The average citizen does not need a gun for every situation that’s for sure. With how fast you can draw this knife would end any close encounter in a split second. I have 2 of the knives and would have more if they didn’t sell out. I’m a very active person and practice with both guns and knives a lot. It’s no substitute for a gun but it has its purpose and can be very deadly in the right hands and right situation. I can draw with this knife and create a serious slash to a face or chest in 1 second without really any real effort. This knife is crazy, and automatically creates knife wounds like as if you’re an expert.
@@mr.sphlictor9649 it is not legal to draw a knife in a fist fight, unless there is a severe disparity of size/strength/age. If you are legally allowed to draw a knife, you are legally allowed to draw a gun. A gun is way more effective than a 3" knife in any encounter. A muscle raged lunatic that is charging you can disarm your knife almost as easy as being able to disarm your gun. A knife is also easier to deflect than a bullet. Don't get me started on the legal fight you will endure if you choose a knife and slash someone's face. You will be definately be criminally prosecuted with the same legal threat as using a gun and then will face a most certain Civil suit which will most likely result in a loss. Slashing and repeatedly stabbing someone shows malice and anger towards someon moreso than pulling a trigger.
@@ProfessionalPepper if anyone puts their hands on me period they are in for a rude awakening. Gun or knife doesn’t matter. Don’t really care if courts got involved or not because I will only use weapons when protecting myself. This knife is the pinnacle of knives and has its place with me for sure. There is no way someone can deflect or take this knife from me unless it’s element of surprise but I can almost guarantee this thing has a 95 Percent stab rate if you are in within 4 feet away from me don’t care who you are.
This guy is a clown🤡🤡🤡. First rule of a knife fight is, somebody's getting stabbed. The second rule of the knife fight is never focus on the arm holding the knife, he got a little buddy that can reach five feet in opposite direction. Whatever the hell this thing is you can't switch hands easily.
