For those who might be interested the designers name is Michael Janich. Watch some of those interviews if you want to hear an expert in self-defense, especially with bladed weapons.
I'm no expert but I have been attacked with a knife multiple times, not including many other situations, I do agree people should watch videos longer than a 60 second short if they are interested
Yo jarred. Just wanted to say that I've been watching you since you only had a few hundred subs.. congrats on what you've done with your channel and the growth it's seen. You're one of the actual knife reviewers who seem like a genuine good dude! Keep it up man!
Man! I've been buying folders like a madman, I usually have two knives that I am paying for over "afterpay" AT ALL TIMES. I've been very interested in the yojumbo for about a year now. But for some reason I never pull the trigger. Honestly I think this short video just might be the final motivator to actually buy it, and not something else... I'm gonna get the murdered out version though ..
@@NeevesKnives cool, I'll. Check it out. What sites are you able to link, and get kickback's from? I'm almost always a DLT trading kinda guy. But I'll check yours out. Way to Hussle man 😉
Ok, as long as you can put your thumb on the spine of the blade and the tang is what it should be. You have a self defense knife. This video only explains a personal preference. Drop point, tanto, or standard. The point of the thumb is only for accuracy. It allows you to use the entirety of the blade. I personally use a Cold steel Spartan knife. It is great for creating a deeper cut after contact, and it has a very nice tab that catches the pocket as you pull it out of your pocket to open the knife. Makes it one motion vs this knife that takes two motions to open.
I carry the Ronin 2 (in an Armatus sheath) the fixed blade version of this… If you’re gonna carry a purpose designed defensive knife, might as well cut out the unfolding step no? It’s a frickin laser beam, absolutely the sharpest knife I’ve ever handled - it’s kinda freaky sharp. It seems big for edc, but it’s got a slim profile and with a good sheath it’s very carryable.
I have the fixed blade version of this, the Ronin. It will cut you if you look at it wrong. I’ve found the smallerYojimbo II to be big enough for just about any task, including self-defense.
I've been thinking about getting the Yojumbo for a while, I might have to pull the trigger soon I just don't want S30V, it's a great steel but I have a ton of S30V in my collection and I like trying different steels
It's a wonderful knife. And it would certainly perform in a survival or self-defense scenario but that design is not optimized for self-defense Warncliff blades are specifically designed for utilitarian use
I would disagree on survival, a survival imo needs something with a more durable tip, this is great for certain applications on human self defense, maybe not the best for all around self defense
Gday Cobber this one aint for me mate but I do like the sound it makes when it locks up. All the best from Western Australia peace and love one and ALL!!!!!!
Damn it Jared. Now I don't just have an interest in it....I'm going to look into it more. 🤣 I'm blaming you if I get one....and a stovepipe....and any other spyderco. Lol!!!
This is one of my favorite knives...dont care for the ronin fixed blade version which I own as well. The handle and the blade are thinner than the folder version..doesnt make for good handling..janich needs to change that design to make the scales and or the blade thicker..
Interesting, as I was just wondering if a thin or thick handle would be better for a secure grip (specially if you are going to be using it for self-defense) and also whether a thick/wide bladed wharnie (yojimbo/yojumbo) would be "better" than a slim bladed wharnie (folders like Hadros and fixed blades like the Sea Snake that Jared mentioned above).
@@ghostwalkerairsofttech1947 Yes, smart observation. What do you think about blade width? Janich made the Yojimbo/Yojumbo with a wide blade (I'm guessing for a valid self-defense reason), but the Canis, another cool self-defense folder, is not as wide, and some wharnie folders (most I would say) are less wide than the Yojumbo/Yojimbo. One might think a thinner (less wide) blade would penetrate easier, but a wide blade also must have its advantages (though I can't think of them at the moment)?
@@gaberoo9099 wide blade...bigger wound channel...less prone to tip breakage knife on bone..I teach with these knives (trainers obviously) when coupled with Philino arts it becomes evident the advantage of the wider wharncliff. Dont get me wrong I also train and teach with kakushi (less overt weapons) ..but these are some of my favorite knives..
The bench made hidden Canyon Hunter/Hidden Canyon Hunter family The bark River featherweight in elmax steel. The bark river Fox river EXT 1 The bark river featherweight you’re gonna have to wait for them to make a batch but it is my first choice. Also if you’re low budget think about disposable hunting knives that have replaceable blades.
@@NeevesKnives it's your channel. Living things, I imagine, would turn away lots of people. Cardboard is better than live animals. If I were advertising a knife, I might try rope or tires from a junkyard to prove its worth. A serrated butter knife can cut cardboard. This is not a knock on you, just an observation from a knife lover.
I haven't found a knife that beats the price and performance of my tanto SOG. Spiderco is definitely higher quality. But my SOG holds its edge well and has some pretty good features. However I absolutely hate the stupid seat belt cutter on it.
What are your thoughts on utility knives for self defense? Lets assume like most people you don't want a body on your conscience, even of its self defense. Would using a utility knife as a slashing weapon be better because it can cause psychologically scary wounds and a lot of capillary blood, but likely won't kill an attacker. Also a stab wound, while potentially lethal may not seem to bad initially and may not stop an attacker. Im no expert, and hope I never have to use a weapon in a fight. Just curious.
This knife has been put through some self defense gauntlets and it’s known to have a fragile tip (prone to snapping). Cheaper Walmart knives have surpassed it. Personally I think this knife is overhyped. Plenty of better folding self defense knives. Props to you for being one of the knife guys successfully making reels. Keep it up!
If you’ve ever cut or slashed with one you know how devastating they are. I have them in S30V and 20CV and they penetrate and cut like crazy. There’s no Walmart or gas station knife that’s going to match it. If you hit a bone and break the tip, just regrind it. I can’t think of a better self-defense blade.
Every spyderco I have has a broken tip accept my dragonfly great for slicing that's it plus they take up to much pocket space, so I'll stick with benchmade
No Self defense comes in many different forms, and are not always human or even living, while a dagger might be good at stabing it's not great at other things, also the knife you carry should be good at a lot of things especially since the 99% of use won't be self defense it will be day to day tasks, so it's good to have a blade that very versatile, spear points are great, but daggers are not, and they usually have crap geometry also most places don't allow double edge carry, if that's a consideration
Love that Janich design. Jerad, do you have any "budget Janich" alternative you can recommend? Eventually want to get the Yojumbo (or Yojimbo), but for now will settle for a budget alternative.
Personally id be a little overly cautious to use a folder for self defense over a fixed blade, but shiiiddd use what you got. Either way really dope knife.
If you want a knife for self defense only I’d advise getting a static blade with actual handle guards and most importantly a blood groove. You are definitely not gonna be ready to use the strength necessary to pull this knife out of a persons body.
@@atriiio4244 "Real" may be a bit of a strech yes, since a normal knife would do the job as well, and what I'm about to say could be more like It's a cruel serial murderer weapon than a self defense knife but whatever: It's shape is pinacular, and ends in a sharp end, that makes the job of stabbing someone extremely easy, and since it's sharp all around and it's wider to the base, the wound would be a lot more fatal, it's designed to be like that, and the sharp end makes cutting with it deadly too, maybe more than stabbing in itself, it will take a little more, but 1 cut can make you bleed to death if it slashes you in the right place (arms and legs specially), what i'm saying is, a single slash to the right artery can kill you if you don't recieve treatment, a single one, it's kind of fucking terrifying. Also sorry if my english is bad, you know, not my first language and blah blah blah. And that's it, maybe a more correct title would be "A real murder weapon" if you really intend to attack someone with that.
@@JIZQU Fair point. But how often will we likely be fending off armed attackers with a 4- 4½ inch knife? In that context, does the extra ⅛ of an inch truly make that much of a difference? I'm not convinced it does. Not trying to start a pissing match here..
@@bennettaukerman6802 lol so you think an 1/8 of an inch more is needlessly oversized? and yes a bigger knife is better i would rather have a large blade over a benchmade bugout for self defense . Yojumbo is not a small knife i get it but its not made for the guy cutting up the amazon boxes once a week . its always been labled a self defense knife I can also carry it very easily for the everyday task if i wanted . my yojimbo I feel is a tad small and that is utlity knife for my hands size
What's kinda funny about self defense knives is they're always trying to reinvent the wheel. Damn near any knife will do the trick. But if you look at when blades were the main defense like the ranaisance most people carried daggers. Reason being the thrust is the fight ender. So any blade that thrusts well is what you want for defense.
But a dagger is a horrible choice for edc, people like having a functional tool that is also good at defense, also self defense is not only human related but anything that could possibly be a threat to your life or someone elses.
I hate those pressure lock knives cause what happens when it closes on your fingers while trying to use it ? A true blade (combat knife) or ka bar is always more efficient
Not suited for self defense in my opinion, here’s a couple thing that would make a knife better suited for combat/self defense 1. BUY CHEAP shouldn’t be much more than 60$ this knife will probably be damaged with use, you might even have to give it to law enforcement or lose it during fight. Choose something you could easily buy again without selling your sister for. It will also be mentally easier to fight without thinking about damaging it. 2. Buy quality Cheap doesn’t necessarily means bad quality you can find some decent stuff out here for not that much, best is to go see yourself, quality is pretty easily spotted if you know your stuff. If you don’t have a physical access to the knife, check some reviews. 3. Specifications The blade should be between 7 to 10 inches, double edged and with a nice sharp point, a molded cylindric handle is also a good feature. KEEP YOUR KNIFE SHARPENED
