Your realistic approach to these situations is very much appreciated.
I love the comment at 8:40 "don't overthink it - there's just not that much to it - carry a knife, offset from your gun, put the stabby part into the other guy and use that to get back to your gun.!"
Well now I have been forced to change my knife carry and now I have to learn to deploy my knife left handed. Thanks!
Yes sir, day one I was taught "it's not married to your right hand".
Also, train with expo markers and white shirts.
I'm learning a lot thanks. But I will never, be in the same room as you and a toaster
For me personally, folders and other small blades are for offense and surprise when you see bad things coming. But you need a big fixed blade for defense. Trained with some Kali and Silat folks and they masters of concealment . A blade is meant to be felt not seen in their approach. Nasty stuff. This is a great series, I really like it and am learning alot
I’ll be carrying my knife on the left now. I never really gave the possession of a knife in EDC much thought til this video. Well done.
Three videos in and this is quickly becoming my new favorite channel.
I was taught that you always work your way to the most effective weapon you have. If you have both knife and gun and have to fight to get to pistol then that is what you can do. I was also taught some ways to give some wounds with a knife that will at least bring the bad guy to a halt but the whole point is to get the pistol. If there is a rifle there then work your way to the rifle. Always go for the most effective tool you can get your hands on. Oh, a fair fight is the one that I walk away from.
You're the best I've seen on the subject. I appreciate you service and expertise.
Finally a guy who has been there and done that!!!!
One thing that you overlooked on folding knives, they now make assisted open. This type can be opened fully by pressing a nub on the back side of the knife. Makes for faster, one handed opening. Great feature when your other hand is occupied.
I just got a ravencrest that has assist. I was wondering what the video author thinks of those.
@@stevenhubbard7492 yeah but they don’t usually have the circle to have your finger in to prevent your hand sliding off while stabbing
I have a boot knife on order for use in handgun retention just as you are explaining here. We can open-carry fixed blade knives as long as the are in their sheath.
This was a timely video for me. I am glad you did not over-think the use of the knife.
Thanks!
I have a tactical toaster just in case.
Make sure you take a bath it to wash it ok?
I prefer my all steel classic toasters. These newfangled plastic ones just aren't the same.
Tactical toaster + Tac Bathtub is the best combo for dealing with home intruders. Having a nearby Tac Transistor Radio for additional electrical "stimulation" and humiliation is a bonus!
People expect guns and knives.. nobody expects the tac toaster
Just want to add something at the 4:45 mark.
You're absolutely right about folding knives being difficult to draw in a close quarters strike fist/grappling fest.
However there are two really easy answers for this that i employ and do actually work.
1.) Old school brass butted pocket knives like the Buck Ranger and classic 110 hunter. While you may not be able to open them one handed in fast to expose the blade you can still bash the solid brass into the guys fast and use that to create distance to free a second hand to open it or draw your firearm.
2.) Spring assisted knives AKA 90% of todays folders. THE FUTURE IS NOW OLDMAN.
P.S Great vid tho man. Glad i can see a guy have a no bullshit approach to knives in self defense
I love watching your range videos because of the gorgeous Idaho backcountry.
Train as the Mind is your weapon not the gun as you limit Your ability and control of any sort of encounter . Verbal , flashlight ,as well as movement are various things you need to consider
Clay, you are my new best friend. Im so glad I ran across your CCW videos. First, you changed my mind about revolvers and now you've changed my outlook on knives. You made me realize I've been carrying my EDC knife on the wrong side all these years. Thanks for the information and your expertise.
Good info, thanks for the input. I never thought about the ringed knives as EDC
Thank you so much for the info, your realistic perspective of every situation is very refreshing. I am 5'6 and unfortunately was caught in a confrontation with a 6ft meth head needing a fix. I was ill prepared. The struggle was brutal and very exhausting. Had i not been involved in a variety of martial arts primarily bjj that allowed me to SURVIVE (not win) the situation. I would probably be dead. The circumstance has made me aware of the importance of concealed carry and self defense but everywhere i looked its a expensive gun toting badass home commando that have no idea what its like having someone else sink thier teeth into your arms while simultaneously trying to get back up. I apologize for the rant. But i just really appreciate these videos. Thank you so much!
A thing to remember is that there is no rules in a life or death struggle. That's what I tell all of my female friends - if you are ever are caught in hand-to-hand combat, go for the cheap shots. Pull hair or go below the belt. It doesn't matter. Who cares even if you are a big tough dude. If your life is on the line, go for it if it will give you the advantage. You could be a judo master, but a newb that gets hold of your balls will end you real quick.
Yea BJJ is such a good skill for CCW guys as well. Wrestling for a gun you're going to be in good shape if you train and they don't.
I really like your approach to your videos. The content is great "need to know" information. Keep up the great work.
I took a number of classes with a LE instructor, and he carries a CRKT Bearclaw both on and off duty. It conceals really easily, and it's got a hole for your index finger so you have great retention.
Great info, especially the bit about your hand potentially sliding onto the blade.
Laughed lots on the first so I watched #2 next and just starting #3. Pausing to say thank you sir!! Back to the train of wisdom and honest humorous goodies.
I like how realistic you are, and bring humour into it as well.
Great non bull shit info on self protection... 👍
A knife that is over looked is the box cutter, legal in most states, quick deployment and it gives deep cuts, furthermore, it will not cut your hand as the blade will be in your target.
If you haven't all ready, check out the KaBar TDI knife. Very popular with law enforcement and easy to use with your off hand while you retain your gun with your right hand.
this was great info, and helpful. love your videos.
You make some great points !! But I myself believe in going for the knife before letting the Bad guy know I am going for a gun. Then the bad might thing the knife you are going for is a gun. Now that leaves gun hand free or time to take a steps back or to side and belly shot.
Love your channel....thanks for your service brotha aloha from Hawaii
There are no winners in a knife fight...unless youre Doug Marcaida.
Chris Toner .............or Michael Echanis.
I almost hit the subscribe button until the first minute of this video. "No such thing as a professional knife fighter" and then says "in my edge weapons class" ie he teaches others about knives.. the says take a kali knife class.lol if your going to teach you should do a little research before making comments on a you tube channel or the world wide web because people who think they know everything really bug the hell out of those of us who actally do. Lol.. I've studied martial arts for over 35 years so I'm just saying do a little more research before making assumptions and for the record you vs Doug M. My money will be on Doug every time regardless of what gun your carring in a close combat situation..
@@theclan4adventures Unless Doug is having a bad day, or is momentarily distracted. There is no such thing as a fight that follows rules OR techniques. Once the battle begins, it becomes a battle of opportunity. Great fighters throughout history have gone down to no-name, less than proficient fighters who saw a flash of opportunity and took it. And if a gun is involved in a knife fight, it's all over. You can take numerous stabs or cuts by a knife. Try shaking off a bullet wound from a .357 magnum. Either way, don't be such a snob. Tell me, when was the last knife fight you saw Doug Marcaida participate in (a real fight, not a choreographed demonstration?) Right. Also, take your own advice, and do a little research. In my 56 years on this planet, I have seen more than a few martial arts "experts" get knocked the fuck out by bigger, faster opponents able to take a few shots before hitting their opponents ONCE, and knocking them out. You can catch that on video these days.
@@michaeldobson107 first of all I'm not one to discuss things such as martial arts or weapons because of how many so called experts are out there and the internet is full of them but given the 2nd grade "my daddy can beat up your daddy" school stuff you just said towards me I feel i should explain a few things to you ..one at 56 you should know a few things..didnt your mom ever teach you that if you dont have something nice to say say nothing at all..and at the very least I'm pretty sure your dad should have taught you that if you go looking for a fight you'll find one ..and it wont go the way you think it should. What i said was very specific in relation to the fact the the guy in the video contradicts hims self multiple times.. that's it pal. Now if you want to debate professional sports fighting and martial arts or weapons such as knifes and guns I'll be more than happy to give you or anyone else my opinion on such things. Taking for instance the gun vs knife situation well it comes down to two major factors..the two combatants and then all of the parameters involved. I know of a few personal incidents where an armed man with a knife (not a trained fighter) was fired upon taking multiple hits from a 9mm and still closed the gap stabbing the officer in the face and neck almost killing him so I think you sir would be the one surprised given you seem to have the assumption the the bigger badder guy wins..or in this case who has what seems to be the superior weapon should win. In any give scenario there are way to many variables for anyone to assume they would know the out come every time. As far as "martial artists " the internet is filled with so called masters of this or that.. here my friend is the part about this subject everyone misses and no one ever talks about.. ever. A real martial artist doesnt go looking for fights.. and is not easily convinced to get into one either. People confuse professionals who studied a style or some form of martial art to better their fighting career..as a real martial artist and I'm sorry to say but they are not. Does that mean any of these people should be taken lightly ...absolutely not. You would either have to be a real bad ass or a complete moron to challenge any of them regardless of what type of fighting your talking about...I dont care who you are a trained fighter in anything will easily defeat someone who has trained in nothing.. my girlfriend in high school weighed 110 lbs but trained beat the crap out of a guy who was 225 all muscle after he smacked her ass in the hallway thinking he was cool. So understand that the old saying "it's not the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog" has truth to it in some cases.. anyway it's late and I've waisted enough time trying to teach old dogs new tricks ..
@@theclan4adventures *@Michael Dobson first of all I'm not one to discuss things such as martial arts*
You just did.
*or weapons*
You just did.
*because of how many so called experts are out there*
Irony.
*and the internet is full of them*
So is the real world.
*but given the 2nd grade "my daddy can beat up your daddy" school stuff you just said towards me*
Such as?
*I feel i should explain a few things to you*
This should be good.
* ..one at 56 you should know a few things..*
I do, indeed.
*didnt your mom ever teach you that if you dont have something nice to say say nothing at all..*
Apparently, your mother did not, as evidenced by your first post, to which I responded to in the same manner.
You are not very good at this, are you?
*and at the very least I'm pretty sure your dad should have taught you that if you go looking for a fight you'll find one*
Indeed. Is that what this is? Appears more to me like whining.
*and it wont go the way you think it should.*
Which was my point in my rebuttal, which appears to have completely gone over your head.
*What i said was very specific in relation to the fact the the guy in the video contradicts hims self multiple times.*
And?
*that's it pal.*
Not your pal.
*Now if you want to debate professional sports fighting and martial arts or weapons such as knifes and guns I'll be more than happy to give you or anyone else my opinion on such things.*
Not interested in your opinion. You know the old saying about opinions.
*Taking for instance the gun vs knife situation well it comes down to two major factors..the two combatants and then all of the parameters involved.*
It comes down to opportunity.
*I know of a few personal incidents where an armed man with a knife (not a trained fighter) was fired upon taking multiple hits from a 9mm and still closed the gap stabbing the officer in the face and neck almost killing him so I think you sir would be the one surprised given you seem to have the assumption the the bigger badder guy wins..*
The bigger badder guy generally always wins, and I never used a 9mm as an example.
However, on the flip side of that example, there are VASTLY more incidences in which the guy with the knife dies from a gunshot wound. You see this every day on the street as a patrol officer.
Oh...did I forget to mention something?
*or in this case who has what seems to be the superior weapon should win.*
The incidences in which the person with the superior weapon winning is prolific. As are the incidences in which the perp with the sub-par weapon (knife vs, gun) quickly comes to his senses and drops the weapon.
*In any give scenario there are way to many variables for anyone to assume they would know the out come every time.*
"Outcome." One word.
And, again, the number of idiots who take a knife to a gunfight is incredibly low, as are the number of people who win such a showdown.
Are you seriously claiming otherwise?
Really?
*As far as "martial artists " the internet is filled with so called masters of this or that..*
Or those claiming to have studied for 35 years as if such a claim, true or not, suddenly makes them an expert in knife fighting.
*here my friend is the part about this subject everyone misses and no one ever talks about.. ever.*
Hit me with your martial arts wisdom, Bruce.
*A real martial artist doesnt go looking for fights..*
Irrelevant.
Whether you are a martial artist or a plumber, guns and knives in the hands of criminal elements, the mentally ill or those whacked out on drugs can, and often do, find you.
Especially here in the US, and even more so should you live in the larger cities such as New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, etc.
*and is not easily convinced to get into one either.*
When someone threatens your life, you become easily convinced.
On the other hand, if you do not use what you know, then martial artists have no business offering their opinion on fighting having never used their skills in a fight.
And, as I stated previously, I have see far too many people attempt to use this style of fighting in a street fight or bar fight, only to scissor kick Bubba, who then laughs at him before knocking him out with a simple straight right to the jaw.
I have seen few (very few) martial artists successfully transfer what they learned in the dojo to the extreme messiness that is a street fight.
It's as simple as that.
*People confuse professionals who studied a style or some form of martial art to better their fighting career..as a real martial artist and I'm sorry to say but they are not.*
You do not consider "professionals" as "real martial artists?"
Interesting.
This sort of reminds me of Christians claiming other Christians are not "real Christians" because they do not believe the same thing.
Too funny.
*Does that mean any of these people should be taken lightly ...absolutely not.*
Oh look, we agree on one thing.
Actually, NO ONE should be "taken lightly" in a fight, whether that be with hands and feet, a knife or a gun.
I have bet on the wrong fighter in a bar fight one too many times, myself.
Again, opportunity is king in a fight, whether that be between individuals, a group, or an army.
*You would either have to be a real bad ass or a complete moron to challenge any of them regardless of what type of fighting your talking about*
I just said that.
*I dont care who you are a trained fighter in anything will easily defeat someone who has trained in nothing..*
Again, just said that.
*my girlfriend in high school weighed 110 lbs but trained beat the crap out of a guy who was 225 all muscle after he smacked her ass in the hallway thinking he was cool.*
You keep making my points for me.
You are a superb debater.
*So understand that the old saying "it's not the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog" has truth to it in some cases.*
In the vast majority of cases, actually.
*anyway it's late and I've waisted*
"Wasted."
*enough time trying to teach old dogs new tricks*
Good luck with that in the future.
Very nice video! The more I watch of you, the more I like. Even though I'm certain you double-safe'd it, I still cringe a little when what looks to be an operational firearm is used in this type of training. I'm very much a noob, so I'll take my place in the "much to learn" room. Keep up the amazing videos! Extremely thankful for you sharing your knowledge!
Excellent Presentation! Now I get why a knife is needed as ccw also. I have a fuxed blade for hone, along with my kitchen selections. Off for ccw carry. Thank you.
"Most people who have been in knife fights are also in prison."
LOL your channel is great.
Definitely one of the more helpful videos in regards to concealed carry training, thanks
Always well thought out!
So agree. Having a knife is a good idea. Fix blades are better for carrying because IMO they are really easy to get to with the blade is already available. I carry a knife not for defensive purposes but for cutting stuff (ie: Seatbelt, fruits and packages) if needs be.
Great info Clay. Thanks!!
Strobe setting and being able to quickly disconnect is a must on any cc gun light!! Just my opinion
I like fixed blades with a retention band. It’s lethal the second you take it out and you can grapple and control limbs without dropping your weapon. And if you make it out of elastic you can still reverse grip it. You can even twist it so the grip reverses in a split second when you open your hand.
Love how you focus on the basics. That said have you considered cutting motions vs stabbing. As you say your at risk of cutting yourself when stabbing and I imagine getting the knife stuck in thre body too.
You said it before I got a chance to.
Knives are meant for CUTTING. Spikes are meant for STABBING.
Only need a 1.5" blade for rather consistent lethality. Not 9". And, nearly everyone with medical response experience will agree that a blade wound is WAY worse than a bullet wound!
If you go for my gun, I'll LET YOU. Because while my one hand is barely putting in any effort at all to stop you from drawing it from my holster, my other hand is using nearly the same lack of effort to easily fillet the rest of your body.
For that matter, grabbing the arm reaching for your gun helps make sure that the adversary stays within blade reach.
You can miss with a bullet while hugging. I'm not missing with the edge of my blade.
I've been using a statement for years, when asked about carrying a gun and a blade: "My gun is to defend you. My blade is to defend ME."
I’m from New York State where everything is illegal so I’m sticking with my concealed carry toaster
Finally, someone with some practical advice!!
put the stabby part in the other guy :D
Greatings from Spokane
I carry a knife always it’s not always self defense sometimes you may need cut things like a seat belt you will most likely use your knife everyday but in the context you speaking your recommendations are valid
Excellent...
Some of the best close combat instruction I received concerning sharp edges was to accept the fact that I will be cut, and I was. Take the slice, stop the stab. I did and I'm still here. You take his edge to give your point.
A LE trainer I learned under recommended the CRKT Bearclaw. The sharp-tip ones are a little hard to find these days, but they're great for this.
A very smart man told me that if you choose to engage someone with a knife, even if you also have a knife, you have to acknowledge the fact that you’re going to get cut. It’s your job to make sure you get cut in the right places so that you can walk away and your opponent can’t. For reference, I’m a martial artist of ten years who has studied knife fighting for several months. The man who told me this is a martial artist of probably thirty or forty years and has been working with knives and bladed weapons for most of that time. He’s worked private security for the United Nations and taught fighting courses for security guards at universities.
This is something I've been thinking about doing. Now I'm going for it.
My conceal carry knife is a Smatchet on my back like crocodile dundee, also the 'Undercover' Solid Steel Karambit
tacti-cool stuff right there
Living in rural North Idaho, I honestly did not know that some areas do not allow fixed blade knives. It's just so normal for me to have a 4" blade hunting knife on me for everyday utility that I don't even think about it.
shall not be infringed. all knives are 100% legal to conceal carry or open carry, no matter the blade length, in every single state
in the USA we have laws against certain ACTIONS, not OBJECTS. idk about other countries.
This opened my eyes
That SOCP knife is a beautiful thing. Its designed to inflict traumatic *PAIN* while still being potentially lethal.
Also it's kinda just nice to have a pocket knife to cut things open. I had to get a pocket knife towards the end of highschool for my job and now i feel completely maked without it.
Carry a blade on both sides access for both hands and the Apache nation has always had a strong knife culture. There have been braves that carry up to 19 blades.
FYI Jim Bowie best knife fighter in American History . And you don't have to stab to kill aim for artery in arm, hands,neck ,face ,legs and thighs. The first cut will make anyone stumble from pain and then blood spray
Great video...most people,including myself, think of a knife primarily as a around the house utility tool that one carries everywhere and not a secondary killing tool. Maybe I need to rethink.
Could you comment on underhand vs overhand knife grip? What would be the response to the idea that the underhand grip delivered to the abdomen is easier to conceal before the strike and more difficult to defend against?
Knives are meant for CUTTING. Spikes are meant for STABBING.
You only need a 1.5" blade for rather consistent lethality. Not 9". And, nearly everyone with medical response experience, rather it's an EMT or a full on surgeon, agrees that a blade wound is WAY worse than a bullet wound! Stab wounds, not so bad.
If you go for my gun, I'll LET YOU. Because while my one hand is barely putting in any effort, at all, to stop you from drawing it from my holster, my other hand is using a small blade with nearly the same lack of effort to easily fillet the rest of your body.
For that matter, grabbing the arm reaching for your gun helps make sure that the adversary stays within blade reach.
The one agreed upon point, is having the blade easily accessible to your off hand.
You can miss with a bullet while hugging. I'm not missing with the edge of my blade.
I've been using a statement for years, when asked about carrying a gun and a blade: "My gun is to defend you. My blade is to defend ME."
definitely less than 9 inches to get to something vital for a kill shot. 9 inches and your knife's poking out my back
i love knives that leave exit wounds
Yaaa I think he ment for people his size you'd probably need a 9 inch. If you stabbed a whole six inch blade into me the tip would most likely be showing from behind. The
Reply to Brad not Landa
Escrima. Old school. Before belts, forms, set qualifications.
You hold the knife the worst way, have the blade out thumb/forefinger. You can stab with point and slice left AND right. Stab toward the body and when they react slice their wrist. Before the knife you had several faster options. Left elbow to the throat or head. Take left hand to also hold gun via his hand and rotate your body by starting to step behind you with your left foot, but then set and rotate your torso and arm tight to your body quickly.
Their elbow will break. The strongest guy still takes about 15# of pressure to destroy.
Conversely if their leg is in close, step your instep behind his heel and lean against his shin/squat into it if you can. Shattered knee at about 26# pressure.
I have always wanted to become educated in self defence with firearms and blades. I am fortunate that i have found your videos. I like the way you talk and explain things and hope to find instructors in my area who can do the same. Might i suggest that you speak a tad slower in making the videos. Thank you for your service. I look forward to watching and learning more. Subbed!
Randall Model 14 8 inch. That's the ticket!
You made some great points and I really appreciated how you explained your thought process and lessons from training that informed your opinions. It would be really interesting to get to see some video of those training scenarios.
The only thing that didn't make total sense to me was the timing on dropping / throwing your knife.
What happens if you after you drop the knife / draw the gun, the gun goes click-click-click instead of bang-bang-bang? Now you're still potentially just inches from contact range with someone that you've just thrown a knife to and a gun that needs some extra attention before it's more than a blunt object. Is a 2-handed grip on the gun (especially so close in) really worth dropping the knife for?
Great info, thanks!
Clay, sounds like you need the Spyderco Karambit with the Emerson wave.
I edc with a tiny knife and mostly look cool at braais (bbq) when cutting stuff for people. It works well when guys also dont slice biltong and can assist, further than that its always clipped in on my jeans.
For civilians . . . see a knife, RUN! If you have one and need it to get away/create space, strike above the shoulders as hard, and as many times as needed.
Love the video, I feel like it was the one component missing from my CCW kit. However I have a question, could you recommend a couple knives? Had trouble finding similar knife to the one you use
OORAH! Hey Devildog... my KBAR TCB during OEF/OIF Tod’s.
Loved knives since I was a kid. They were a primary till CCW became law. Had Randall make my 14 with a wrist thong and had them drill both sides of the hilt so I could make I pig sticker if need be. Not a well known option. Are Randall's still popular w/SF?
"There is no such thing as a professional knife fighter." Nope. But there are plenty of civilians who think they are! lol.
Best concealed carry weapon for close quarters is a bass because if you're going to attack someone or are currently attacking someone the second they pull a fish out of their pants and start hitting you with it you're reaction isn't going to be "I'm going to keep attacking this person" it's going to be "where the fuck did that fish come from?!" And then they have just enough time to run away
Train with Expo Markers and white shirts. You can really go ham on each other
Benchmade dagger ftw!
I carry a great 2 inch butter knife with pointy edge. A nice little stubby handle with a great grip. Great for a dog attack or short distance self defense. No worry about cutting myself. A sharp knife can slide down your hand when stabbing
There are literally edged weapon specialists in special force teams. So I’d say there are professionals. And a good way to win is to go for the arteries. You can stab and cut someone hundreds of times without them dying. You need to remove their life blood. So there is a technique too.
If your knife doesnt have a nice retention hilt you can counter that by placing your thumb at the very top of the knife & kinda press it down & a nice tight grip
Okay, question for you...
I get the offhand carry idea, but why not carry hilt forward? That would remove a step in weapon manipulation under duress, and let you move into the defensive/stabby/GTFO motion that much quicker...
“What do you hunt with a knife like that?”
“Name it.”
I believe it is 4" of penetration for lethality. At least that is what the goal is for stabbing swords.
depending on the placement of the strike i believe that would be adequate. for more versatility i would prefer something with 8-10" of blade
You can conceal a glock field knife the same way you can conceal a IWB gun holster. I like to use velcro to hold the sheaths on clothing though. Legalities are the main problem so legal tools might be the way to go.
Raw aggression
Good luck trying to put your index finger inside that ring under stress when your dexterity decreases dramatically. That's why a prefer a double edge dagger with finger guards like tha Counter TAC 2 Knife by Cold Steel.
Thank you.
The shitty thing about punch daggers- they're one of the most naturally designed knives out there, but they're quite illegal in a large number of US states.
We can carry any knife except a Bowie style here in Alabama.
shall not be infringed
Pretty good video however you can kill someone with less than a 9 inch blade. A 4 inch blade is plenty, target the carotid arteries , subclavian artery , Brachial artery all are susceptible to smaller blade attacks. (Femoral artery can be attacked too.) A historic note, swords were used in The Moro Rebellion in (1899 to 1913) also the second Sino Japanese war (1937 to 1945) saw swords used on a larger scale.
The Ka-Bar TDI is my edc fighting knife it's a very good low budget Item to integrate into your system
"give em the tune up".....
Okay..,best knives, K bar, Morakniv, non saw blade Glock bayonet, Cold Steel G.I. Tanto (the crowbar with a blade) and the old school Cold Steel tanto.
Not many are really ready for the implications of wet work. The blade is very much more intimate in engagement.
Any opinions on the kabar tdi?
What about assisted open knives because thats what i usually carry
What kind of knife is that fixed blade he prefers carrying?
Were you ever stationed in 29 palms? My husband swears he recognizes you but can't put a finger on it!
Phillips screwdriver can be used if state law prohibits fixed blade. Just never admit you carried it as a weapon.
this was really informative. Knife to get the gun back and regain control
