A real class on knife carrying and drawing! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
Thank you and you’re welcome
What options do you suggest for small and belt carry. I carry and I'm very skilled , but I'm always seeking uogrades and more skill lol, I think most of us do. At 45, I've boxed, have 2o years of different martial arts training and fights, but my true love and passion has always been weapons, knives and batons mostly.
I'm seeking the best behind the belt or waist carry, about 1.5 inch blade, hand and finger guarded knife for edc. I've seen what a slipped hand looks like, and while defending chances are blood will get on that hand, so having guards is very important to me. I did have customs knives made for me, and they are absolutely perfect, but costly, and I need to get some for my sons and daughters now, who are older and moved out. I did train them, but again, this is real life, an attack by surprise from the rear allows for 6 seconds before the lights go out, a bit longer for someone who understands and stays relaxed and moves quickly, but not much. I find a small blade is the absolute best, it allows speed, enough edge to attack hands and arms , and long enough to cause damage to the leg of the attacker as well. Hopefully disabled at this point, but if not, they will have to ket go, allowing for a longer blade or firearm to be used.
In past, i carried a (small) fixed blade most in scout draw. Now i think, weak side cross draw is much more practical. Great video. Thanks from germany, Michael
Depending on your situations not might be worth a try. That's my preferred carry, weak side cross draw. Thank you Michael

@@TkellKnives 4:50 thats horizontal bro
I misspoke…bro
Yeah bro!! 😂😂 lmao 🤷🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️😉😁
There is something I really like about this knifes sheath set up. The blade is opposite the clip. I think that's excellent. To many sheath are made where your pulling the blade out against the clip... yours is the way it should be done! Well done sir...
Thank you very much. My stuff is really different from what else is out there. I try to design around function first and just do what makes sense and forget about what everyone else is doing.
100% agree, I used to carry folders. One of the pet peeves for me in most knife training courses is they NEVER go over the ABC's of deployment. I teach both folder and fixed blade defense. my personal preference is fixed blade. One thing to consider, a short fixed blade ,,,attach a piece of thin kevlar cordage to the end of the sheath...you can pocket the knife in a front or back pocket. loop the cordage around your belt. when you pull the knife the sheath comes off the knife and cordage retains the sheath.. With some practice the kevlar cordage can also be used as a control mechanism...this method allows for better concealability for shorter fixed blade knives.
Great feedback! I cover the deep carry static line deployments in other videos.
AWESOME!! Outstanding demonstration! That is how I carry. Really good info. That is why I am saving to get one of your blades. Thank you, and have a great day!
Thank you sir. Have a good day
@@TkellKnives TALK WITH YOUR HANDS A LITTLE MORE SHILL.
Thank you for your time in making the video....much appreciated.
You are very welcome.
I am so glad you said that about the neck knife. Never understood that concept. I carry weak side appendix scout, that way, it's accessible with either hand.
Me too Brother.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Your self defense knives are so cool man. That little Tanto with the sharpened spine is awesome.
Thank you! It’s sells super fast.
Great presentation, thanks for sharing.
This video really opened my eyes on how to carry, and how to deploy, thanks awesome
Thank you very much
I really appreciate this video. Very educational. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great demos!
Thank you Sir.
Just saw your demo. Nice job! I like to cary my fixed blade at the center of my body. The same as you. I move my belt buckle over and skip one loop to the left. The belt buckle is now off center so my knife fits flat on my belt. This helps in two ways. One it keeps the knife and sheath flat and when you cary your side arm the handle of the knife is not to close to your pistol messing with your draw of the knife. This helps me with my right hand draw. Thanks for the demo.
I have tried that off center buckle setup. Great suggestion!
@@TkellKnives Remember that Greg Thompson SOCP dagger? One way to carry it is in the upper part of your fly, horizontally, right below your belt. Only the finger ring sticks out. Unfortunately zippered flies are not likely to allow for it.
Interesting idea, I think if I had to choose I'd go with a static line deep carry IWB.
@@TkellKnives My setup is defined by unobtrusiveness, easy and sure grip and single hand reach (preferably with any hand), ability to hit the target within one second. So I carry a Leatherman Charge as utulity on the belt in the back, a six-inch monkey wrench in the back pocket on the right as a primary tool to be used yawara style on kyusho points and to crash the joints, and a Manasherov Toro in the back pocket on the left for extreme circumstances only. Yet another folder, a Specwog Alfa Warrior in my waist bag as a rescue knife (it's too tight to use its improvised Emerson Wave feature for SD)
Can't fault you for having multiple options
Thank you, great video
Thank you for the awesome vid, Brother! Yes, for me being a man of small/short stature, I have to play around the many options that is optimal concealment for me, along with right type of clothing to not print. However, i do find a the cross draw (as you shown) as effective for me since it allows for ambi-deployment. Another one is the pocket carry just like you have it. Again, thank you! SFMF!!!
SFMF!!
I’m the same crossdraw is where it’s at for me.
Great advice, Tim! 🗡️🔥👍
Thank you Dave
Nice. Thanks for sharing👍
thats the way Im doing it.
Best knives I ever got. Love it.
Thank you sir
This is a great video-got to get more TKell knives!
Thank you Bother! I know a guy that has a few he’d be willing to part with
I just found your channel and became an instant subscriber.
I used to carry a double edged SOG Pentagon, then 2 years ago I had a stroke and am in a wheelchair most of the time. Let me tell you from experience, a double edge is a damn good way to cut yourself! (Done it a few times.) Flippers and OTF's take too long to deploy in a self defense scenario. I'm now in the process of trying to find __that perfect single edge_ to serve as a backup to the revolver I carry (remember, stroke. The left hand is useless. It's difficult to operate a slide one handed), so I've amassed quite a collection. I most definitely *_DO NOT_* recommend carrying your gun or knife in your EDC bag if you are in a wheelchair;
*1)* *_You are in a wheelchair_* The critters will see you as an easy target. You don't want to be digging in a bag for your weapon.
*2)* If said critter gets your bag, you are now defenseless.
I say this from experience. I've had to use a knife twice to get a critter off me since the stroke. The surprise and shock on their face was priceless. Weak side cross draw if you are in a wheelchair is definitely the way to go.
Thank you very much for the sub and thank you for the information. Very valuable experience that you bring to the table.
You rock brother thanks for this new sub🙏🏻🥷🏻
Thank you Brother!
I carry most of my edc fixed blades horizontally at 1 o'clock in Bradford sheaths, including the Bradford 3 & 3.5. My Creely Mako (green) and Jason Knight Jurassic Bird & Trout (purple) also fit great in these sheaths. My Pro-Tech Les George SBR fixed blade (orange) fits ok in that Bradford sheath, too.
I prefer horizontal carry because vertical carry sticks me in the side, especially when sitting, and is fully exposed.
Good video. Thanks for the information.
Thank you and you're welcome
excellent tips
Thanks I know where I wanted to carry my fixed blade but I didn't know what it was called. Just purchased a couple clips.
Nice knives man. Great designs
Thank you Sir
Good info, thank-you
Glad it was helpful!
Lanyard under the shirt is secure and allows for the superior forward-draw with either hand. A dagger with a 5 inch blade is perfect in this cary position.
Very informative!!!!
Thank you!
Excellent video. Subscribed!!!
Thank you Sir
GREAT VIDEO.
Thank you very much.
Thanks
All good info , I never thougt about suspenders un the T shirt , I may have to try this
Great Video
Thank you
I do leather working too so actually put button snaps on my belt and crkt minimalist sheath and it’s where a belt buckle would normally be. It’s not noticeable wearing a t shirt and can be drawn with either hand. Not a fan of crkt but it’s the sleekest option I could come up with. If you had a similar product with better steel I’d get it. The knife design and finger shape sold me on it. Carried it there for years as a trucker.
Quality snaps are pretty good. Bandolier studs can also be good, and quieter, fasteners. I like the one on my tanker holster.
Just found your channel. Excellent tutorial! Subbed
Thank you 🙏
Loving these videos my friend!
Agree 👍
Thank you Brother
Weakside crossdraw all day! Good video brother👍🏽
Same here brother. Thank you 👊🇺🇸
Interesting… I subscribed when I saw the globe & anchor on the wall. Simper Fi Marine!
Thank you. Semper Fidelis Brother
I always carry a fixed blade horizontal cross draw. That way I can get it with either hand. Great video!
I second that carry style. Thank you
Very informative, thank you. Looking to add fixed blade to my EDC. Perry suspenders and belt support my EDC 😊
Thank you sir.
Awesome 😊
I do not carry a blade for self defence but being out camping I think the knife desturbs me the least "crossdraw weak side" 👍
Scout carry is the way I feel more secure if your in a tussle, it could be easier to get to your back waist line than the front. And yes only fixed blades, pref full tang! Great video!! What type of iwb gun holster is that?
I carry weak side tip down at about 9:00. It draws into a reverse grip or if need be I can cross draw with my dominant hand.
Stopped carrying cross draw in my belt due to the print. Now I carry all my fixes on a paranoid shoulder harness under my left armpit.
That’s interesting. I might have to try that.
Excellent tips and demonstration. California sucks for concealing.
Thank you Sir. I hear that all the time about carrying in CA
Really like your topic got a knife for Christmas carry everyday owb plain view no body says anything. Went to a mall in a city never thought anything about it. I got escorted out wasn't even allowed to conceal it on my pocket after they knew it was there.
Man that is insane. Things are crazy these days
Striker is most attractive.
This video should be titled FAAFO. Great training vid.
🙏
I’m a skinny dude so concealing is hard. I’ve found that strong side, ring down is a great method for me. If belt buckle is 12:00, I put it right in front or behind the 9:00 belt loop owb. Draws into reverse (ice pick) grip, is super accessible and nobody that doesn’t know what it is, knows what it is. If I can get my finger to the ring it’s mine.
Ooorah! Good training. This video is outstanding.
🫡👍
Very well done Vid. Good and practical advice. I've been doing it for years. However I center my knife 🔪 making it closer to my strong hand, a little farther away from my weak hand. Either way I'm going to puncture major arteries and/or organs. Folders are for opening boxes 😮. Last resort at best.
I couldn’t agree more!
Hi bro. Pl tell me which knife you are displaying in your shorts vid titled "Top 3 options for carrying fixed blade". It has a thumb hole. Pl share knife model. Regards.
I carry a small fixed kbar last ditch knife necklace style literally for what it’s intended for-last ditch. Meaning I’m on my back (or some other undesirable position) and can’t get to anything else. Another occasion I might do so is if I’m jogging outside. I agree it’s not a good way to go.
Guys miss out on being able to use a bra to conceal carry. I am thin, so I can not carry stuff on my waist like some men can. I carry a 13" (7.5" blade) Cold Steel San Mai Tanto II under my right armpit using a paracord cross shoulder harness with the blade pointed up and back. This style allows me to turn my left shoulder forward to conceal my right hand reaching up under my shirt and drop and draw the blade from a Kydex pancake holster with the blade facing the outside of my forearm and completely concealed until I expose my forearm which reveals the blade side to the attacker already in a defensive position and with NO TELEGRAPHING that I have a weapon in that hand. I can then draw my firearm with my weak hand (you may want to do it opposite, weak hand knife, strong hand gun). I guess if you have Dunlops, waist carry is better. For skinny chick like me it will always be stealthy, fast, and sassy. I've always got the drop on the guy who has to draw. 😁
You are something. I recommend some foil fencing training for you as well. And a handy pepper spray for PC. Live long and prosper!
@@peterbogart4531 Oh, foil. Oh, no, honey, I'm to old to do the footwork anymore. I'm a stand your ground girl. It's eyes, ears and throat for me anymore.
@@peterbogart4531me either even with a really small one
Skinny chick with a 8inch blade under her armpit and a firearm on her waist, sounds american
I keep a machete strapped between my shoulders, a cold steel recon tanto strapped to my left calf,3 pocket knives and a hatchet on my right hip along with two boot knives with a shotgun across my shoulder and a colt 45 on my other hip. I think I got all bases covered🤣🫨🤣😎
What was the name of blade in pocket carry right side w ulticlip??
My favorite way to carry a small fixed blade is vertical on my suspenders. I don't know anyone else that does it, but I find it is the best of both worlds. I can get it easily, and its nearly invisible to others. I mount it just above the adjustment clip, which makes it stay put very well. I also don't know a lot of people in their thirties like myself that wear suspenders at all, but I like them sooo much more than a belt. maybe they will have a comeback someday.
I wear the suspenders that hook over your belt everyday. I keep my belt looser so it doesn't take cinching it down to keep all the heavy stuff I carry up. I don't strap my blade to them though, might have to try that.
I am 25. Carpenter and welder. I used to wear suspenders. I prefer them over a belt. But once I started to conceal carry, i had to go back to a belt, to give some rigidity to my waist line.
You should try those Dickies suspenders that slide over your belt. They're pretty special. Let's you wear your belt but keeps your pants around your waist.
@@TkellKnives Yup been using those for a decade or so. Under my untucked shirt. love them!
You will want to avoid having your suspenders grabbed, of course.
Great video and very informative. Thank you! What carry style would you recommend for someone who wears denims and tucked in buttondown shirts for daily wear? Currently I carry Spyderco folders but I would prefer to carry a fixed blade instead.
I like the combatant with a DCC 5.1 HLRu.
I like to dress clean and trim, dress causal trousers with a tucked in shirt. Unless it is blistering hot I wear a light sport coat or a light waist coat (vest) which covers the handles protruding from various "inside my trousers, clipped to my belt" positions.
If I have to go in somewhere that I might remove my jacket, everything I carry quickly unclips and hides in the jacket pockets. If it is too hot for a jacket then it is a couple of smaller knives in the larger, loose pockets of the dress pants. Denims are usually too tight a fit for concealing anything. Maybe ditch the denims and upgrade to business casual. Boot carry is an option to ...
Your a smart crazy mofo i like that this guy knows what he’s talking about.
What’s your take on Emerson opening folders? I’m using a cz pt-10s and a Spyderco matriarch 2. I should probably get a fixed blade.
Folders have a place for general task and some companies make some good blades. Myself and many other people choose to carry a blade for more than general task...like defense. For a defensive application deployment time is slower on a folder, they mount in your pocket which limits accessibility to only the side your carrying it on, if the folder doesn't lock up all the way in the heat of the moment the consequences to your fingers can be devastating. Many a person has lost fingers due to a lock failing. Folders are typically horribly balanced.
A fixed blade has less failure points, can be accessed both strong and weak handed, is better balanced (mine are at least) and generally are more robust for heavy duty task like prying.
This might be a dumb question but where can I find the other style clips for the sheaths?
We haven’t added the new style clips to the website yet, but if you want the IWB vertical, add the multi clip to the cart and put it in the notes . Thank you
Can use a ulticlip for horizontal carry or is it only for vertical carry
London fellas really gonna like this one
There was a practical reason for suspenders.
In the video I watched with the knife mounted long ways with your belt, you called it vertical. I want to make sure so I can order a knife from you.
I misspoke. Vertical is up and down, horizontal is “long ways” depending on the blade it will come horizontal unless it’s a larger blade like the Mercenary, Sapper, or Bushman which come vertical.
Thank you for clearing this up.@@TkellKnives
I learned this from Kyle Defoor, no weakness only strength! Other strong hand or support side, don’t condition yourself to think weak!
Great advice!
@@TkellKnives definitely wasn’t trying to be a know it all douche as I didn’t come with it, I learned it from Kyle and just wanted to share . I appreciate your response and your video, I’m definitely going to check out some of your knives.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Stay frosty,
Rick
I didn't take it that way at all.
@@TkellKnives oh good, I know the internet is full of know it alls and I didn’t want to come off that way! Again thanks for the instruction and your kindness.
Rick
Defoor knows his craft for sure. You're right, the interwebs makes everyone an expert on everything. And there's no room for discussion or discourse anymore. I for one don't mind differing pints of view. Thank you for watching
That's why I carry both fixed and folding, fixed attached to my back belt loop and my folder in my right "pocket watch" pocket (as they call it, which is the small pocket at the top of your other pocket)
Fixed for self defense and folding for other task
That’s very common. I still carry the piranha which is my small pocket sized fixed blade.
@Tkell Knives my folder is a kershaw volt ss, and then my fixed blade is a cheap one from Walmart just because I haven't found one I like the feel of in my budget
My blades are known for grip comfort, balance, and ccw carry.
@@TkellKnives yeah I've seen a lot of good reviews, would get one of yours but there just over my budget
Very insightful video. I got to get one of these, but what knife do you recommend for weak side cross draw?
I personally go between the Raider and the Striker. The Nightstalker is my best seller. The ring helps with fast deployment and retention.
What knife and holster is the one hooked under the belt?
what a beautiful gut
Thank you! It sure is easier to stare at man bodies without getting caught on RUclips. Glad I could help
I have always used paracord tied off to the belt and then. tied to the sheath. It's a short piece of rope. to where I can tuck the blade in my waistband. Don't have to worry about it dropping. And then when I deploy the blade, I just have to. grab the knife and pull. it. I just have to grab the handle of the blade and deploy the rope will hold the sheath back. Just a simple setup I use for pretty much. any situation. on any fixed blade with a sheath.
I carry one on both my angles on my back one on each side of my hip a pack of throwing knifes on my forearm and my belt .
THX FAMILY U HELPED ME DEVELOP MY INNER SELF. 1LUV
You are very welcome.
What knife did you use as the picture for the thumbnail of this video? Looks kind of like the Raider but different handle texture and shorter blade
It is a Raider with smooth micarta. I don’t offer the smooth anymore. It was rarely ordered and keeping it on hand didn’t make much sense.
Great video
But how about a video showcasing concealment options for larger EDC knives- 8 to 12 inch blades.
I personally wouldn't classify 8-12 inch blades as EDC so I cant recommend any ways to carry concealed.
@@TkellKnives that’s the point I am trying to make- if you COULD carry a “large” blade, you would! Whether that means concealed or not, a “ large “ knife would then be considered EDC. I personally live in “remote” Alaska. But believe me, even here we have tree huggers and anti gunners. So I keep my 9 1/2” Bowie concealed. With a big knife, no need for three knives and a prybar! I have used my Bowie to hammer nails , pry open doors, even carved out a door to facilitate a code lockable door handle. And I still pull it out to cut my steak at the local events. I love the looks I get! The men I sit with love it, but it also gives reason for the tree huggers to hate, unfortunately. Those that scream tolerance have none.
Nice knives! What kind of pistol are you carrying?
Sig Sauer p365x
What kind of suspenders are you wearing?
I had to wear suspenders to support my duty rig back in my police days. I could use suspenders for my edc set up to help manage belt sag from my sidearm. Any recommendations?
Disregard, i see from a comment perry suspenders.
Possibly wear shoulder holsters with belt straps?
I'd like the idea of cross draw however I cannot carry a fixed blade on my belt line without its standing out like a sore thumb I have tried many different styles and types they all stick out too far I don't have any belt overhang to hide it lol
Some of the IWB clips might work for you. I do have thousands of skinny customers that have been able to wear my blades CCW
What was that in the left pocket?
Awesome video! You got a new sub!
I would like to see how to conceal a fixed blade while always in training jacket and sweatpants. I train a lot that's why I always use that instead of jeans. If you don't do a video on that maybe you can answer me directly
Thank you brother. I have a clip by DCC, the monoblock. that really holds very tight to fabric. You could horizontal carry with that clip on sweatpants.

Works even better when you’ve got a tactical beer belly to hide it under !

I really appreciate the video. Just to clarify, because I didn't pick it up out of the video (im a bit slow haha) would you recommend carrying a knife in the same area you keep your firearm? I've carry AIWB for my handgun, and ive always IMAGINED i would carry a knife sidways on my belt on my left appendix area. However, its highly unlikely that you'll have both the knife and gun out at the same time, so would AIWB also be best for knife carry in this situation? Like you said, muscle memory is key.
I carry both a firearm and a fixed blade. Typically the blade is crossdraw appendix. Firearm is IWB 3 o’clock. I just can’t get down with AIWB pistol carry. There are lots of guys that carry appendix crossdraw and AIWB strong side pistol.
@@TkellKnives Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback. I was checking out the website and hopefully I can snag a "Nighthawk" sometime soon! Do you have any suggestions for a better style to use for EDC?
That’s a very popular blade. You would be happy with it. If you don’t like the ring blades. The combatant or Raider are great for edc also.
@@TkellKnives I appreciate the feedback. I'll take another look at the other two you suggested and see which I prefer.
Please explain the concept of being vertical or horizontal?
Vertical and horizontal aren’t concepts, they are directions of orientation. I’m not sure what the question is.
Would this setup (The horizontal) work on a Motorcycle/Bicycle?
I have lost pocket knives and I don't want a vertical holster when I ride my bicycle.
It most definitely would. I have a lot of customers that wear them scout carry (horizontal on your back) when riding.
I see you are wearing Perry Suspenders that hook onto your belt. Best item to help us carry whatever we carry without our pants falling down.
I love them. I still need a belt to hold my gear but the gear is heavy. I despise cinching a belt down so tight that my lower half goes numb, enter the perry suspenders. A true lifesaver
I just stumbled across your channel. Great video.
I've now come full circle regarding folders. Can you build tactically accessible sheaths and clips for Tops ,and Ka Bar TDI (for edc carry) wearing sweat pants? If so I'm in!
Thank you for watching, glad you found me! I only have time these days to make sheaths for my blades. The Steve Tarani TCQ blades have my concealment designed sheath and are built for appendix carry CQB deployment.
What is the name of the sheath you're using for IWB, strong side, tip down for the Night Stalker?
Same sheath that comes with the blade just using the “IWB only plastic clip” tkellknives.com/products/extra-belt-clips
Does the night stalker blade length measure 3” or less? I live in IL, and I believe they have a 3” limit in the state, 2.5” limit in Chicago.
I believe it’s 3 1/4. I’m working on a shorter blade version. The nightshades would be in that limit. And the Nightguard is 3’
Horizontal forward cross draw. I can get it with either hand.
Whats up buddy .mad love to you and your family.
Thank you brother
So if one has a belly how do you put the knife in appendix carry without your stomach pushing out the handle
If it's along your belt line horizontal it shouldn't be a problem. I happen to have a belly
@@TkellKnives looking at it through my eyes your belly is perfectly flat and ripped remember I’m blind lol thank you so much
What blade is that on your front belt and did it come with that style sheath and clip?
That’s the Striker, yes it does come with that sheath. I’m releasing the the next batch for reservations next week, the last batch of 132 lasted 2 weeks. Tkellknives.com sign up for the newsletter. That’s where I announce the blade drops.
I need a small fixed blade to scout carry on my person. I’m 140 lbs and carry firearm appendix and want a fixed on small of back sideways any recommendations for a smaller knife that you make
If you like ring blades, the nightstalker. The Combatant for non-ring.
Thank you for these excellent lessons! What thoughts do you have on carrying a Fairbairn-Sykes commando knife? Too long to be comfortably concealed? Is it possibly the best possible example of its kind? Thinking of the utility of a blade that is six inches or longer for deep penetration from different angles of thrust. Also, what kind of sword cane to carry for self-defense, and how.
That is a big dagger to try and conceal carry. What’s “best” depends on your training and preferences. I’m not versed in cane or sword use so I can’t really offer any useful information on them.
The two best choices for sword cane are the Cold Steel and the United Cutlery Night Watchman if you want a long blade. Both have 24" narrow backsword spear-point blades with a half-length "false edge" which is sharpenable. The scabbard tubes are both heavy, thick aluminum suitable to be a club in the weak hand for a guard. I chose the Night Watchman because it has a 1065 Carbon steel blade bolted to the handle with four tec head "Chicago screws."
The Cold Steel has a stainless steel blade fastened with two or three split pins.
I prefer carbon steel for anything over 20 inches and carbon steel is more likely to bend and return if you hit something hard in the thrust. The Night Watchman blade is perfectly stiff enough to penetrate anything penetratable.
I think the bolts are stronger and allow easier modification if you want a install a different handle. Plus the Night Watchman was about 20 dollars cheaper.
VERY illegal in most places but a well dressed old man with an elegant black cane will attract no attention except from the predators ... and my goodness, will they be surprised.
The scabbard tubes come long, so if you want to shorten it to use as an actual walking aid, shorten it from the bottom. The top has a machined flange to allow easy return of the blade to the scabbard. The UC version comes with a hard foot not suitable for actual walking use but the hard food is intended as a thrusting point.
Run the hard tip under boiling water to expand it and it will easily come off preventing any scratching from trying to cut it free. Replace it with a one inch drugstore cane tip after shortening and you are ready to go.
Before you cut it to length (I used a hacksaw and a mitre box) be sure to push the foam tip retainer up into the tube so you don't cut it.
Mine is beautiful, elegant cane with a great handle perfectly suitable for a night out dancing. I use a Cold Steel Tactical Axe Head Cane for the rough and tumble of every day use - it is a great club. Plus I carry a pepper spray and two to three knives.
Hope that helps. Cheers!
What knives are those? I love em!
Thank you sir I made them all.
The necklace carry is a Nightshade tkellknives.com/shop-1/ols/products/nightshade
There's a Nightstalker tkellknives.com/shop-1/ols/products/nightstalker-coming-soon
And a Striker tkellknives.com/shop-1/ols/products/striker-coming-soon
@@TkellKnives I don't know how I stumbled across you, but glad I did! I'll prolly have to own a couple very soon. Awesome work man! The low profile Sheath set up for cross draw is awesome, I carry a full size glock 20 appendix and it needs company... lol
Thank you man. Glad you found my blades.
Which is the knife called with the finger ring I believe it was the second knife you showed?
That’s the Nightstalker. Currently sold out but the Nightstalker CG is in stock. tkellknives.com/products/nightstalker-cg
