Thank you for working in real world situations and showing points like this. I highly respect you because of videos like this. Please keep up the great work for those of us that live in worlds of violence.
I was ready to provide rebuttal based on the video title, but once I watched the video, I completely agree with your assessment. It's a terrible idea to try to deploy during mid-fight on the simple fact that you would have to change your grip and loosen your hold on your blade to do so. Still though, I also agree that both the both the wave and the bramp are good ideas when deploying from the pocket.
Whoa buddy, the internet hates common sense and accuracy! 👏👏 My Talon II is just quick deploy from pocket.. (faster than stiletto), and with 5.11 pants (reinforced pocket really “grabs” hook well) it’s better than most for having a folding knife for primary… but yes, even after 8yrs with mine, I’d say 70-80% accurate draw… and hope WHEN I NEED IT.. I get that 70-80% to happen…
What’s a good way though is the reverse grip with the ring hole. Using that as a striker creates a bridging moment or even a flashy spin and then after the deployment. I agree for forward grip it’s not the best.
Former criminal and CO - Short blade & fixed are what did the DPS in my experience - Retention rings are decent, but I prefer retention hooks. Like on the MDV Plus One knife. I modified my Canku C1134 to have more of a hook than a ring. Increased my draw speed significantly by not having to "finger the hole" first. The C1134 weighs 43-46 grams... That's all you need. Folding knives, waves and hooks and all this fancy ish under stress? Nah, I'm good. K.I.S.S.
I don’t see why the wave feature would be on anything other than a karambit. With the ring, at least have a better chance of not losing the blade as you deploy. Good points though.
I always find folding pocket knives kinda funny in a self defense situation. Just get a non-folding knife if you want something that's quick to deploy.
My favorite part is watching trained fighters see a sparring opponent opposite of them and reflexively open their hands to get ready to parry a punch or something... and drop their knives. It happens all the time unless you've been drilling with a knife. Now add that stress of trying to deploy off a persons clothing... that ish is falling right on the ground and you'll be standing there with a dumb look on your face.
With how knife laws vary by country, state / province, and local areas it can be tricky to pick a knife. For me, I go with folding knives such SOG Aegis but that may not be legal for you. I would love "auto knives" but for most locations it's restricted or prohibited. I got one in my area because it's less restricted but if a vast portion of your country makes it illegal, is it worth it? I'm sorry you Canadians don't have the freedoms we do in the United States, then again some of our states are resembling parts of your country...
A kydex sheathed fixed blade on 12inches of Para cord is the fastest deployment,period full.stop. I will meet you any place any time anytime and demonstrate with rubber training blades how quickly all of your vital areas become liquid versus style. I mean you no disrespect, however this is not as deadly as our art.
You are thinking way too deep into this, which is fine as you are creating content after all. Chances of anyone having to defend themselves with a pocket knife are so minimal - it almost doesn’t matter, as long as one is comfortable and familiar with their blade. In the distant times, when pocket knives were actually used for self defense - those knives were not tactical at all: 2 hand opening, weak locks or none at all. Worked fine for centuries though.

Use fixed blade knife!
I'm guessing that would be a great way to cut your fingers off mid-fight, though.
I mean you’re not wrong
Like always 💪 great video 🙏 blessings thanks for all that you do.
Eye opening advice for a real and potentially dangerous situation. Thank you 🙏🏼
Excellent point my brother!
Thank you for taking the time to point his out.

I like your honesty

i've been i using emerson for long without a budge
Try holding the karambit properly. It makes more sense when you do so.

I solve this problem by carrying a fixed blade knife.
I carry a otf but I know there are problems with that under stress
Practice must be done to address said issues.
3:08 thank you Kuya

I totally agree.
Just here for the gratuitous draws o’er and o’er again. Love it. Your knives hate you
Sounds good in a Wick movie but in real life, I would pass on that
I gotta get some more ink

Remember it’s one persons opinion folks. Don’t judge the world by your own shitty standards. What works for some may not work for others.

Why is the video quality so bad and all of your most recent posts?

If I didn't think deeply, I wouldn't have heard from you...
