I purchased one the model called "Defender 1" (stamped Japanese) in 89' when I deployed to Desert Storm. (desert shield at the time I bought it). carried it everywhere and still have it. Will never let it go. 😎👍🏻
Nice! I'm glad it has held up well for you! 😀👍
Same here brother. Got it in San Diego June '89 before heading to Mayport FL and my first duty station USS Spruance DD963
A lil late to the party though as former federal LE, CRG Operator/Team Leader, Senior CQB & Krav Maga Instructor, we had custom Cold Steel blades made for us and you were spot on as the Terminator Punch Dagger was originally the Magnum Skinner. I carried two 2.5" Magnums. Anything over 3", and 3 of my 5 current blades on my daily person are Punch Daggers, is a waste of steel and defeats the purpose & makes it much much tougher, if not impossible, to deploy/utilize the Punch Dagger as intended. For my neck Mini-Punch, I prefer 1.50-1.75" with my waist Punch Daggers being a pair of Winkler WK's(2 5/8" blade). I also sometimes carry a pair of Atlas Dynamic Defense NOC Punch Daggers(blade length: 2.375", cutting edge: 1.875")
I currently wear either a Bastinelli L'Innocent(1.75") or a Skallywag(1.50") Punch Dagger as a neck blade.
Though I also carry two fixed blade pocket knives, a Wrinkler SD2(3.25" blade) in my left front pocket & an AMTAC Northman Proto(3.5") in my right front pocket, I most likely would utilize one of my Punch Daggers in a real world situation.
I have a funny story about Cold Steel that is way off topic though I think that you'll appreciate this, lol...
I have a general self defense class for any civilians(males/females) and the first class I discuss the Punch Dagger, the theory behind it and why I think that EVERY individual should carry at a minimum, a neck Punch Dagger. I have the Cold Steel line-up laid out on a table, both Punch Daggers and fixed blades. I've always liked Cold Steel is it's a solid blade for the price point, and well within most peoples' budget.
So this kid, he was early 20's, maybe 5'8-5'9", 140lbs 145 tops, pulls out this behemoth folder, takes two hands to open it and asked me if that was a good "fighting knife" as he had watched a YTube vid that said that it was "scary" and just as dangerous, lolol
It was the Cold Steel Spartan😂😂😂
I'm sure that you're familiar with it and I actually have one though I got it more for the novelty than to ever use, hahaha. I was as nice as I could be in telling why that knife was more of a danger to him that it would EVER be to an adversary😂😂. I told him that he stood a better chance of caving in a guy's skull using it closed and beating him with it than ever cutting him IF he ever got it open, lolol. We get all types🤷🏻♂️😂
Superb video and a great walk down memory lane🤙
Stay Well, Stay Safe & Continued Success Brotha👊

this is exactly why LTK is the man-- sometimes the knife is only part of the story. It might just be important to know why we're so infatuated with knives-- history may just be a big part of it--- Thanks LTK --- AGAIN !!!!
Thank you very much for the video. I am kinda obsessed with push daggers. Your video is very satisfying that someone is talking about push daggers for that long.
Earlier urban skinners in the mid 80s had smooth rubber handles without the diamond pattern
YES! I had one and remember now. Handle gradually got shiny from skin oils. Buried in my collection somewhere.
I just purchased a M. Price 'San Francisco' push dagger with an ivory handle and silver sheath. Outstanding weapon. In my opinion these push daggers are more lethal than a knife because of the force of a punch that can be delivered. If I was going to carry a weapon for self defence a push dagger would be my choice.
The scene from platoon was much better, you can’t kill Barnes!
WOW! Those look really old school!
Great video. I wanted to find out what model I have because I also want to sell it. Now I know/remember it’s a Defender 1. (I bought it early 1990s in Germany.)
Why would you want to part with such a nice knife? How much do you want for it?
AFAIK CS still has the catalogs online,,,I'm looking at the '95 - '96 catalog now...good classic C S Stuff...
They look great and with the leather sheath, it's definitely a classy looking defense model. Hope I find some some of these models for sale one, been looking to complete the cold steel line in push daggers/knives.
Bruce Lee ........."Simplicity is the key"......"Complexity is the lock"............'Cold Steel get it.......With their push dagger range........
Look at all these cool knives I cant legally import :(
Where do you live?
...they WEWRE called the 'Defenders" I've got all the catalogs dowloaded - this comes from the 1993-94 catalog
But how well do they flip!?!
Jomoru They don't flip. They have a triad lock !! :)
Knife restrictions are so stupid and unconstitutional! I'm glad we don't have them in my state! Everyone deserves to be able to carry the self defense tool or tools of their choice. The 2nd Amendment says "Arms" which means any tool that can be used to protect your life and property, not just firearms!
I bought the first punch knife in 1990 it cost me $120 I lost it a few years ago while moving the one on the far right I bought last year it was $45 . the first one was Japanese steel the second one I bought was from Taiwan the Japanese is by far the better quality steel that is why the price is so different.
That's funny cause I just watched Forged in Fire.
What’s the steel on the termination or it’s smaller friend being Japanese I’d love to see sk-5 or even vg10 though the urban skinner push dagger without a double edge defeats the purpose unless stupid laws keep u from carrying a double edged knife though I carry my Benchmade fixed blade double edged great grip fantastic sheath and a fantastic heat treated D2 love in but I’m looking for a neck knife push dagger thinking of the cold steel urban edge push dagger Aus8 steel which is ok for the $23 price tag with a sheath and double edge with a 2.5 inch blade which is plenty long enough if u know how to punch and is a light lighter and easier to hide.
Wow! Lol.
These are so cool. Shame that they are banned over here in the U.K.
gary jacobs But you have the beautiful right to read gossips about Meghan Markle and be proud that you are subjects of HH.)
Well your right to have them was given to you by God, which supersedes the edicts of your tyrannical government. You deserve to be able to defend yourself and your loved ones whether they like it or not!
Remember
Don't forget the Blackjack Push Dagger .....
