Due to my countries legislation i cant legally own neither a push dagger nor the KABAR tdi (authorities consider it a push dagger as it mimics its function). I mostly carry short bladed knifes with a ring at the grips end. To ensure concealment and quick acces i tuck it through my belt and belt loop grip down at an diagonal angle right besides the belt buckle (same as with a clinch pick). The sheaths are secured either through friction with rubberbands around them or by hooking them on the top edge of the belt with a hook at the end of the sheath. In my opinion your carrying method for the socp is impractical. Youll most likely use it when somebody grapples you which will make it hard to access something which is basically under your armpit ..especially when youre lying on your back.
Thank you for your input and great insight into your situation. I understand what you mean about my SOCP use. To clarify, the SOCP is almost exclusively a secondary knife, because, and I failed to mention this, I use the clinch pick on my belt even when I have a plate carrier on. The SOCP is would be a used on a case-by-case basis (if someone grabs the rifle or other tools and I need to create more space quickly, etc.), The clinch pick is my go to for a grappling situation. But at the end of the day it’s all about showing different options and strategies. I really appreciate your comment and thoughtful critique.
Have you looked at the CRKT SDN? It can be held with the rounded end of the handle tucked into the palm, thus 'functioning' as a push dagger... but it doesn't 'look' like one.
@@yishnir I’ve just checked it. Looks like a mostly edc knife to me. The grip retention must be great. However I don’t believe that you can use it properly as a push dagger. The blade is too long and the grip area would be to small to provide enough stability. In fact the designers of the push dagger in the video above deviated from the classic push dagger design exactly to tackle such issues.
@r.h5550 Thanks for taking the time to look. I mentioned it because I didn't understand how it could be a push dagger when I first saw it. There's a video by the designer demonstrating the less-intuitive grip, and perhaps a couple other videos that don't have many views, which show it. Anyway, I don't have one yet, but it's on my 'eventually' list... and I'm not suggesting it replaces the larger push daggers, I just haven't seen anything else with quite the same design concept.
Would you recommend the SOCP dagger or the clinch pick for EDC carry? I almost always wear a belt on me, expect for certain cases. The SOCP sounds great for when I’m not wearing a belt, but I feel like it would just poke me in my gut when I’m sitting down. Let me know your thoughts and advice. Thanks!
I find myself using the Clinch Pick for EDC much more than any other knife. The concealability and blade deployment of the Clinch Pick make it for a superior EDC blade, in my opinion. The one thing that the SOCP has over the Clinch Pick, is the capability to deploy the blade with either hand. Due to the Clinch Pick’s design, it favors one hand over the other, although you could technically deploy it with either hand, it just won’t have the same orientation. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
It sounds like you are going to be carrying belt was quite a bit. I'd recommend looking at the Omni sheath that shivworks sells. It can be set up with a DCC clip and attached directly to your waistline
using or carrying? if your using---then you need to move or get a new line of work.... i been carrying TDI now since introduced and taken classes at TDI ---i 2nd the armatus sheaths tried SOCP and run on my rig when hold as dont take up real estate and can retain while shooting tried the Push offside but went back to carrying two TDIs trained with southnarc but never been fan of Clinchpick or the like
Thankfully, I’ve never had to use any of these knives on a person, so my experience is limited to just carrying. I think it’s important to find a tool that you’re comfortable with and gain proficiency with it, as you have. I know someone who carries 2 TDIs as well, one on each side for the respective hand.

@@LegacyInsights51 Thank you! Just ordered my clinch pick last night!
@@brogolli that’s awesome! Let me know how it works out for you.

Thank you for reviewing all these knives. Better than porn
Happy to help. And thanks for watching!
