This is a great reminder that nobody wins in a knife fight. So gnarly.
John, I felt the same way about the fox 599 folder. (Same knife different blade.) So I purchased a trainer and carried it until I was comfortable. Doug marcaida would be a great guest on your show to interview for this knife. He would also have some good insight.
I agree with Charles. I too have a Fox 599. It is my daily carry and I have followed Doug Marcaida for years. You might want to check him out for his take on the Krambit. I also have the Krambit by CRKT called the "Provoke" and it deploys a lot differently
An uncle Doug Marcaida appearance on a WPS episode would definitely be a treat
I would love to see Doug Marcaida make a apperance on a WPS video.
You
Doug is awesome! Watching him is what got me into karambits years ago.
So...I'm not your intentended audience at all. I'm a mom, haven't carried a knife since doing tech work in high school, don't know a bit about kinds of knives. But here is what I get out of a video like this: men are different than women. And boys are different than girls. I was raised with girls, but my kids are all boys. Videos like this help me remember that my boys some day may want to learn effective self defence with a knife. And that it may include descriptions and moves that make me squeamish. But that if I do the hard work of training their character, then I don't need to see an interest like this as being "violent" or "toxic" like the culture would say. I see your intent to be self-controlled here. I don't see you being a show off, looking to intimidate or look macho. But the willingness to effectively use a tool to defend against an attacker with dark intentions...that is a good thing for a boy/man to want. And it is helpful for me to see it in a positive context like this. Thank you.
Best comment ever
@@jeremiahr7585 Literally
John is a Godly man and believes in the sanctity of life but believes in protecting his family as I do.
I ain't reading all this shit. Someone summarize.
Bravo.. That’s what an open mind looks like folks! See it, take it in, chew on it, make informed decisions not based on emotions. Facts. 🫡
You guys are making my wallet hurt in the best way possible.
Sammmeeeee especially with that mechanism in that knife!
Mine tooo Lol
No joke. I have the WPS karambit and the Fox Folder and I still keep looking to spend more.
Yeeeaaah I totally didn't just go buy the foldable karambit and the tactical pen from WPS shop.... totally
To be a prep it costs an arm and a leg, it goes without saying that it is extremely exciting to have a lot of weapons and to being good at marcial arts tho. Karambit is great tiny knife for carrying to use in short distance fights, although the majority of its users are cs go players and just carry it for fun
Nothing about Jason’s technique is boring. Jason has knowledge of science and physiology. Science is not boring. Application of science is an art. Most people don’t master this like Jason does ❤️
Jason Johnson is the nicest and quite literally the scariest person on the planet. Awesome video again!
@@throwstar get help.
I have several Karambit knives, and I absolutely love doing training with them
Got my 1st karambit back in December. Love it! One of my top EDC recommendations 💯
Another neat set of instruction to watch is Michael Janich with Martial Blade Concepts. I carry a folding karambit every now and then, but have since gone back to carrying my Spyderco Yojimbo 2. The Wharncliffe is also an excellent option for self-defense and might be a better legal option depending on one's locale.
I just watched this guy's stuff on WPSN, and dude knife throwing is awesome. I already knew how to no spin throw a knife from really close, but having it down to a science like Jason does really helps.
Literally scrolling through the comments to see how many people mention Doug Marcaida. No disrespect to Jason Johnson, who is also very good at giving instruction on knife techniques, but Doug Marcaida sharing techniques on the show with his experience in Kali and Silat would be mind-blowing. Especially when we're talking about karambits and how to properly use the ring feature.
Glad you spoke about the edge towards yourself. Too many know it alls are dismissive of it, when in fact it's just as devastating. There's a reason why claws face this way...
Jason Johnson is a living Knife Fighting Legend.
Lots of great information for us, beginners, and it is put in a concise and easy to understand format. Thank you!
Knife fighting is gnarly, man.
Thanks guys
Another great video John! I have been a member of WPSN since the inception...I cannot recommend it enough!!! So much information from like-minded Americans. One Team One Fight...join the Team people! Aaron in San Antonio
“Aim it at gnarly spots and open ‘em up”. That’s a cold quote.
I found the Fox 599 on my own and wondered why they’re all going out of stock. Then I see John is talking about their karambits. It all makes sense now.
I honestly don't see the appeal of a karambit folder. If you're putting yourself in a position for violence where a karambit is necessary for fighting, I'd think a fixed is more practical to draw, demploy, fight. For everyday "just in case" EDC, it's useless for any other task and the reality is, a regular knife will defend you near the same against an untrained opponent, which is 99.99% of who you'll encounter in everyday life. The 597 he's using in the video makes sense, it at least has a functional cutting edge. However I'd also opine that they're playing very loose with the term "karambit" just because it has a karambit ring.
That was my understanding of the karambit. It was a work tool made for slicing initially.
"Now you know why I throw knives." Lol. Love that.
You often hear the phrase "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight." While true, that can be reversed to don't use a gun in a knife fight. If you carry both, there are distances where a knife can be employed more easily to more affect than a gun. (Inside a couple of feet to contact distance.)
Ideally, you use one or the other depending on circumstance and wouldn't deploy both simultaneously. Use the knife in close contact to break said contact and build distance then deploy the firearm. If it were a single attacker, you could also end the threat with the knife.
Ok I’m hooked. This video with Jason was way better than I was expecting. Now I need to go back and check out all of his videos. I love knives and using them. Great stuff!
This is absolutely nuts......I love it.
More to the commitment than how it's done. . Great
Just got the WPS Karambit for Christmas, it's pretty awesome. Really does make you feel like a ninja to deploy it.
this was absolutely beautiful.
Awesome, great video
Excellent.
Projecting the cut is an awesome series, my 12 year old daughter wants to learn how to throw knives now. Thank you Jason and John. Love the content. Also, any idea when Jason will have more Babytooth knives for sale?
You know the man is serious when his lapel mic is making kung-fu movie sound effects. That burst power is real.
There are some good videos of Doug Marcaida demonstrating with the Fox 599 (same as this but with the traditional curved blade) and he recommends putting the ring between the first two joints of the finger (first being the one closest to the tip of the finger, not sure the technical term) so you can easily remove the finger. I have the 599 and several other karambits and I practice this way; it is very easy to keep retention with the ring (and be able to flip it forward for some nasty, sneaky techniques -- see the Marcaida videos or a Bastinelli video about the "blue worm" cut) but still be able to very quickly slip the finger out for safety/different grip.
With my 599 I put on both pocket clips (mine came with an extra one and I think they all do) so I can quickly carry it for either a forward grip or an underhand grip.
Also, I would personally never put my off side forward because it becomes an easy target. I prefer to put the knife forward and swipe at the nearest target, with the offhand arm up just in case I would need to block with the outside of the arm if something gets past my knife hand.
The music stopping at 5:35 was beyond hilarious. Laughed my ass off.
Great ,instructional keep it COMING !
I absolutely loved this video!!!
Love it ! You had me at “just open em up”! 🤣
Man, I absolutely love the extremely real person you are. Yes, you have a good head on your shoulders; prep work, moral values, etc.
But then you say something everyday-person-goofy like, "I feel like a ninja when I pull this out! But I have no idea how to use it..."
I love your work! Keep it up!
I bought a Fox 599 Karambit years ago, and it came with dvd from Doug Marcaida (sp). Now I am debating on buying the WPS Karambit made by Fox. I know it os quality.
Thanks
Nice! Very brief but very informative class!
Awesome stuff
Y'all put out absolutely amazing content
Freakin' awesome video!! Great stuff, Jason Johnson!! Thanks!!
Thank you
Great video! I've personally carried the Emerson Combat Karambit for 8 years along with my licensed CC firearm.
Excellent video
I just got my WPS tanto Karambit. Definitely a nice piece of gear and worth the wait. Makes a great EDC companion to my XDS-45.
pure bliss
Some great training moves to get better with the knife.
Keep on trucking
Great content, thanks for the tips.
Ok this is our 3rd date and I am ready to give it up... Liked AND Subscribed... 😁 little story... I was deployed with Gurkha for a while while I was over seas and watched them train with their Kukri... Not interested in ever being in a knife fight with them, not even if I have a gun. Best part was they gave me a kukri before we left... Their parting advice..."don't cut yourself"
Brutal man
This was great!
Thank you!
I have no idea how to send direct messages
very helpful, thanks
Great information guys. I never thought about using that way.
Excellent content sir 🙏
That’s cool info love it
Love the knife tips John! That guy is lethal with a knive 🔪
Good intel.
And I’m sold, ordering me one now 🤙🏽
more about knife fighting please !!!
Great stuff! Keep up the good work
Good stuff
Just bought one today and came across this video.
Nice watching this guy explain it and SO glad to see him pick the grip he would use because so many want to say hold it in a "traditional way" which actually isn't traditional at all. Absolutely love these, but after yrs of having them it is obvious they are best suited for t-shirt wearing attackers unless your going for the throat. I've yet to see anyone demo one going through a jacket with some layers under it by using any claw slashing strikes. So if you live in a warm weather all yr round area then carry it, if not then a thrusting blade is going to be better. AND the makers might call that a Karambit, but come on, it's basically a straight blade. The "finger ring" doesn't make a knife a Karambit.
It's a karambit style with a tanto blade, really. It's a hybrid.
Nothing like a good finger ring.
Karambits are just so damn cool
JJ so that trick shot with 6'' ti-lite an beer can wicked!
That was sooo informative
I did learn something , Don’t Mess With Jason Period! 👍😃✌️🇺🇸
Just got one in and it's super sharp. Probably sharper then my Spyder co Karahawk
Been carrying a karambit for YEARS as my primary defensive blade. Love the bastinelli pika, great for boxing 💯
Ive been carrying a fox karambit for years. I prefer it over even fixed blade knifes.
Killer on hand, right there. His name is Lestest Zappati. Hello, FBI.
I need to make a new kydex sheath for my double-edged, fixed blade karambit. Watching this makes me want to go home tonight and do it right away. Before I started subcontracting for a federal entity, I used to carry it all the time. I primarily train with it using my non-dominant hand as my backup to my firearm.
Totally buying one of these now. Thought about it for awhile but didn't understand how much of an advantage it had over just a normal Gerber pocket knife.
Well, it's not a Gerber to start. Gerber isn't the garbage heap it use to be, but it's still not anything but average.
I need a Karambit in my life and some training now, thanks guys lol.
So badass
Good info. Thank you!👍😊🇺🇸
AWSOME vid guys
Very simple I like it
Hard to Hurt has an excellent episode of how to kill with a small blade knife, and where to cut and immobilize the opponent permanently. Very similar to how these technics work.
I’m glad you appreciate Filipino Martial Arts 👍
Both instructive and terrifying(yipe)!
Get Doug Marcaida on the show!
This was most interesting. Thank you. I was gifted a nice size Cold Steel Tiger karambit fixed blade. Perhaps not so easy to conceal.
Watched the all of Projecting The Cut on the network two days ago and already have my wall built and it has a fair amount of holes.
Hey guys, I didn’t really know where to go and share this so I figured that this would be a good place.
The WPS karambit likely saved my life a few weeks back.
I’m currently a college student and I work at a Jimmy John’s part time to support my living costs. A few weeks ago on a Saturday night, I was getting off work but the one I work at stays open til 2am because it’s one of the only restaurants surrounded by all the college bars. I was walking to my car and realized there was a person hunched over by my car. I didn’t know what he was doing until I got a little closer. I figured out it was a drunk frat guy urinating on my vehicle. I politely but firmly told him to leave my vehicle, but he refused and then called his friends over from around the vehicle. 3 more people came over, and I made sure to say look guys I’m not looking for any issues, I just need my car. They continued to advance towards me and smirking to eachother about how “easy” this was going to be and I suddenly realized the gravity of the situation. If I get jumped, I could get really hurt or killed and I wasn’t concealed carrying because I had just gotten off work and I didn’t really know if my manager would allow that or not. Running would also be difficult through the maze of cars behind me and me being in my work shoes they would surely catch up to me. So I reached in my pocket and flipped out my WPS karambit. Didn’t wave it around or threaten anyone with it, just had it in my hand in case I got jumped by multiple attackers. The other guys stopped when they saw that it was now a fair fight, and actually at that moment 2 of my coworkers that were also leaving saw the other group trying to close the gap on me and ran over and shouted for them to leave or that we were going to call the police.
Never would have thought that choosing a job at a sandwich restaurant could have almost gotten me in a situation like that, but I’m glad I got out alright.
Really thankful to WPS as well as my coworkers who helped me out.
Sounds like you made some smart decisions. Not looking to escalate but in a sense saying you aren’t going to be a victim.
I would never directly advocate going against work policy or breaking any laws, but I have been in your situation before and I have resolved to stay armed as it is my God-given right. For what it’s worth.
Yes, Pat. I'll take Some Shit That Never Happened for $500.
@@PalmettoNDN that’s ok that you feel that way. I’m here to share my experience, but I’m not responsible for how to interpret it.
That said, I will continue to carry this tool as part of my daily edc as it’s proven itself a valuable tool to me.
VERY SMART ,AWARENESS OF WHICH SIDE THE EDGE OF THE BLADE IS ON ,ALSO LIKE THE PART ABOUT TWIST AND PULL ,ALSO DIRECT STABS VERY SELDOM STOP A PERSON GOOD CHANCE IT WILL JUST MAKE THEIR ADRENALINE RUSH HIGHER LEAVING YOU IN A BAD POSITION AND GETTING HURT REAL BAD
Love finding a fellow Silat man
I was planning on attacking you when I knew you only mastered 3,057 ways to instantly kill me, but now that you’re learning the 3,058th, I’m having second thoughts. 🤣 Good on you for continuing to add “tools to the tool box,” awesome stuff.
Doug Marcaida would be a good choice
Great video and information 👊🏼🇺🇸
Love that hat super stylin
Love it
Commitment to danger. I like this.
I see a WPS video....i like and comment. FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!
I reply. FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!
Love this new hobby! Jason you just made a fanboy! Lol. Love ya all.
Awesome tech love the vids 🇺🇸👍
Karambit fighting techniques?? Well at first you had my curiosity, now you have my attention 👍🏻👍🏻
Undergrip is a defense. Pinky in ring, single surprise swipe and or trap. His left to right transfer seems posture breaking.
best pocket weapon❤
