Yes, that is great you do it. You might not like my blade because it was made in Pakistan. However, if you've made one or some other Old West style knives, let me know, I'd love to see some pics!
@@ArizonaGhostriders I don’t do any old west type stuff, my style is more modern although I love the knives and guns of that era! I’ll try and send you some pics but not sure how that’s done
As ALWAYS among the amazing video clips, pics, audio snippets, demos... This channel provides constant entertainment, and shares info and knowledge, with us. Also, kudos to your informative brother and sister-in-law, Santee. FANtastic👏🤠👏
A big howdy to your brother and his wife and please tell them thank you I really enjoyed them in your video. And to the camera operator thanks for your part in making some of the best videos on u tube and glad to see you getting more involved and having fun. And as always Santee , great video , thank you so much for the fun, and informative videos. I always look forward to seeing them, thanks .
Being a long time martial arts guy, I loved seeing your brother and his wife in action. Now, an idea to look into. How about fisticuffs in the Old West? There was a scene cut from Tombstone where Wyatt Earp trounced one of the Cowboys. Kurt Russel wanted to film it in Hollywood style whereas the original director wanted to shoot it period correct for the time.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I would also very much enjoy pugilism in the old west. I don't know how accurate it was but I enjoyed the inclusion of the pugilist character in young guns.
Another fine & informative video, Santee! Thanks for bringing up Calico Days, pard! Hadn’t thought about that funderful event, in years, as I used to volunteer/help out with in the shootouts, with our mutual pard Dave Rodgers, back in the late’90’s!
Another great video Santee, on a favorite knife style! It was awesome to see the wives making an appearance in this one too! Mrs. Santee's "pew pew" always makes me chuckle!
I just want to say how much I love your channel and look forward to it every Saturday morning. It's obvious how much work you put into these professional presentations and I love them all. Keep up the great work!
Awesome episode. Learned something new as always. Your brother is a bald bearded version of you with the same great sense of humor. He is a very funny and edgy guy. 😊 Like your red and black vest.
Another great video as always Santee ., it was definitely cool seeing your brother and his wife doing the demonstrations . You good folks at Arizona Ghost Riders never fail to enlighten , entertain and make me laugh . Ya'll keep up the great work and stay safe . 👍👍👍👍👍🤠
That "choke you for real" might be a gag, but having experienced a good rear naked; lights really do start to go out fast with that one and its rarely portrayed that way, so kudos to you
When I briefly did armed security, I kept the schrade Push dagger behind my magazine pouch for use in my off hand in weapon retention. Great system, love that knife.
Ouch and mayhem you all did it again fun and well done!! That AGR logo watching over your brother nice touch ... My bet is his wife is a capable adversary as well.. Good Show!!
You know, I never knew they had these during the wild Wild West! Hahahaha! I always learn something fun from your videos Santee! Happy Labor Day Weekend my friend! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wonderful video! Love how he basically said "umm only ya'll call him Santee". Like " My baby brother and his dorky buddies making up names for themselves...shaking my head. And they think he's cool!" 😆 Well yes, yes we do! Lol. I really enjoyed seeing all of the family! Thanks!
Cool topic for a video Santee, or whatever those other folks call you! I have a modern push dagger somewhere! I visited the Cowtown museum a few years ago, cool place.
I've always been more of a stiletto/shiv kind of guy, but there's no denying that push daggers have a long and colorful history. Fairly effective too, probably the easiest blades to use if someone is already familiar with how to punch properly. I've known some old-school lawmen to carry one behind their badge or a mag pouch to give them something discrete they can get into action in a hurry if someone tries to grab their gun.
GREAT VIDEO SIR,AS A KID IN THE LATE 50S. I SAW THESE DAGGERS IN SOUVENIR SHOPS IN THE FRENCH QUARTERS DOWN HERE WHEN WE CAME TO TOWN TO SHOP ON CANAL STREET. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE
Steve has the perfect facial hair for this channel, he fits right in as the brother back east that went in a different line of work great job Steve, you are a treasure to fighting
Man, a push dagger is a nasty weapon. It's so intuitive and fast to use. Basically requires zero training and does significant damage in all the same places you would normally punch.
One thing that was not said, is that with a push dagger in your hand, you can still grab your opponent while the knife is in your hand. The blade doesn't have to be very long to be effective. Every major artery except one can be reached with 3inches of steel.
Great Episode Compa!!! After watching this You convinced me to buy the Cold Steel FGX Push Dagger, the Polymer made one, as a backup in places where metals are noticeable and forbidden but you need to be able for defend yourself.
It is important to note when it comes to push dagger type tangs are it is easy for your fingers to slip off and cut your self if you strike something hard like rib cage when it comes to defensive knife scenarios you want to try to target the soft parts of the body like neck midsection eyes throat that sort of stuff try to stay away from hard boney parts
Honored to kick off an Arizona Ghostriders video! Thanks. I think these were the switchblade of the Wild West… the more nefarious stabbing implement of the day, carried as a dedicated weapon unlike its competitors which were part tool, part fighting implement. Didn’t know about your brother! Would love to talk shop with him some day. Also… less range but almost impossible to be disarmed with one once it’s firmly gripped.
Just checked the link for the one you have Santee, it’s beautiful but shipping is way more than what the blade is to get it shipped to the U.K. it’s a shame as I’m sure there are a lot of westerners who would love these over here. Very interesting information by you and your brother. Thanks for the video 😊
Too cute. I loved the family involvement Santee. Great information for us historians always looking for more info on different subjects than the norm. We can always count on you to keep our Saturday's fun, entertaining AND educational. Nope, no plays on words this time. ....fun, entertaining, educational....and not pushy. Sorry, no stab intended.
Another excellent and funny video Santee!! Not sure how useful sticking a small sharp object into the side of your pants your brother did, if he was walking around or about to sit down but if was sure very interesting video!!!
Awesome. I've been singing the praises of the push dagger worn on the side opposite the of handgun for a few years now. I'm too old to learn how to "knife fight". The push dagger lets me fight with the same techniques I've already trained... just stabbier.
In Germany this daggers are illegal since 2008, and as you can think, knife crime has not stopped. Importing hundredthousands of men from aggressive cultures into Germany caused a very high number of knifecrime in last years, compared to 20/30 years ago, but politicians in my country are blind to reality, but liking ideology.
@@dvinedavis2008 : Germanys culture is violent. So , compare the number of wars, fought by HRE as a whole ( Reichsexekution) , the number of wars of German Federation ( Bundesexekution) to the number of wars, fought by France, England and USA. There are rather few decalations of war by HRE or German Federation. Most of wars had been inside of HRE (up to about 1520 also Northern Italy was part of HRE). In case of Thirty Years War it started as an innergerman civil war, but then many foreign powers intervented on protestantic side ( France and Sweden with troops, England and Netherands with money ) to weaken Empire and Emperor. In fact, due to be divided into over 300 states, both Emperor and Empire had been weak since end of 13th century. This Thirty Years War was basicly over arround 1630s, but due to Intervention of foreign powers it lasted up to 1648, and the great death started with this, a third of my nation died! After Thirty years war, Germany, especially the regions where the war happened, had become poor, many settlements of my homeregion, had been uninhabitated ( for example Häringen settlement was uninhabitated until second quarter of 18th century). And in this situation french ,sunking' Louis XIV attacked and robbed Alsace away from Germany , and during his, in Germany called Robbery Wars' his troops burnt and robbed dozens of towns and villages especially in Palatinate and along the Rhine, but in 1683 also my village between Stuttgart and Ulm was plundered by french troops. This, and the suffering caused by napoleonic wars, caused a hate in Germany against France. Nobody speaks of french ( and swedish) crimes of war, but when in 1870/71 after half a thousand years the french had to fight a fair fight ( one united France against one united Germany, with no third power /Sweden, Ottoman Empire/ falling into the back of Germany), then we germans are called bad people.. And in 19th century in all european countries Natonalism, Chauvinism and Militarism ( even in Sweden and Switzerland, neutral countries with militia armies, the armies had very much influence) grew to a before unseen level, a bit later Kolonialism reached also the new nations Germany and Italy. Now, tell me why English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Portugiese colonialism is good, but german colonialism is bad? Also tell me if stealing the red indians their land, overwhelming hawaiian monarchy by US settlers is OK? When wwl started, the USA declared them neutral, a lie. They supported England, and they said : Armed german merchant ships are warships, but allied armed merchantships are no warships are no warships, they need this as defence against U - Boote. In wwl german troops did crimes in Belgium, true, but belgish non uniformed fighters also did crimes. Same thing in wwll. It is true that german army ( Wehrmacht), armed NS organisations like SS or Gestapo did crimes for ideological reasons , i an atheist, don' t like crimes done for political or religuous extremism reason, so i am sad about the things happened ,in german name'. But: : I also don' t like lies for reason of ,political correctness'. In case of this mostly muslim asylum seekers i am rather angry. The fact, thst i have to pay lazybones with my tax money is one thing. But Germany is my homeland, i, a german citizen, have to respect the laws of my country. I expecct, that also foreigners respect the laws of my country. But: In my country i have never heared, that german men raped muslim women, but especially since 2015, when Mrs. Merkel let hundredthousands of uncontrlled muslim men into my country, many girls and women had been raped by this muslim invaders, and some women, i am Brittas boyfriend, told me , how angry they are about behaviour of muslim men . In my hometown this asylum seekers caused a violent revolt in public swimming pool ( Freibad) and some women said the police, their ten/ eleven years old daughters had been tuoched by this muslim asylum seekers. In case of sexual crimes this muslim men are overrepresented, and also in case of knife crime. But politicans, and mostly left wing newspaper and TV journalists try to cover this.
Same here in France mate, same thing for firearms laws, the number of firearm crimes has not decreased here because criminals do not follow the law, only citizens suffer these laws without being able to do anything while they follow the laws
Nice of you to include family in this one. Especially when he's qualified to teach about a certain subject. Great video today. Be safe out there, and take it easy man. 😎
I love push daggers for some of the reasons that he gave. While they are illegal in many cities, they are also a great choice for someone driving through a city. One can hold a push dagger between the fingers and still grip a steering wheel. One needs to be careful with where the hand goes, but one can drive a car and have the knife ready to deploy. If a thug were to break a window and reach into the car, the driver could just make a fist and stab or slash the approaching hand.
This kind of dagger is my favorite type of defensive edged weapon. They can be very concealable, fast to deploy, easy to use, difficult to defend against(all knives are but this one just a bit more so in my opinion). Shame on the politicians who have passed bills to prohibit these in so many places. I would take mine everywhere if I could.
I've literally owned every push-knife on your brother's table at one point in time. Handy little things. One particular company makes the best modern-day examples. No worries, Santee. Won't give them free advertising on your channel. Will say though, if your Glock has run dry and you're forced to use it as a club, yeah; situation: Seriously Folked Up.
Great video guys, loved you including your brother. I always heard of them referred as a kid as a "palm knife?" But I think it's an under appreciated weapon, well done
I was expecting at some point to see the Ed Bailey “were not friends anymore” clip from Tombstone. Isn’t that what Holiday uses in that scene? That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the thumbnail of the video. Interestingly, a lot of people employ the point of their carkeys in much the same way when expecting unexpected trouble these days if walking somewhere dangerous and don’t have a gun. Another great video.
I originally had my car keys in the first takes of the video…a key fob is an excellent field expedient. It won’t last too long before breaking, I imagine, but it would work in a pinch.
Wow! Now that was a sharp episode and really on point too! And may there be plenty of pew pews on your trails for you and Mrs Santee. BTW what was in the jug, looks interesting?
Love the vid, I'm a knife guy myself, love all the different versions that are out there..my first knife was a small Swiss Army one for the Cub Scouts..my mother got me my first big one..and fittingly enough, if anyone has read any of my comments about my mom on the various videos of this channel, it was a Bowie knife. I still have the thing but it's not exactly the best since it WAS a rather cheap one but it still holds a special place in my heart cause it was my first big knife and it was a gift from my mom. Also you think we could get a vid on what kids did for fun out in the old west when they had free time from doing chores and the like?
Oh yeah!!!! They had that Indian dagger in Temple of Doom! At the time I first saw it, I thought it was something they came up with for the movie! These push daggers look like they could have served as inspiration for the modern kitty knuckles, what do you think, Santee? I know one thing, I’m not trying to mess with a 7th degree black belt in ANY martial art. Great video, brother, I enjoyed it!
Looks like a great sense of humor runs in your family. I'm a fan of dirks myself. I have one that is small with a sheath that has a smaller outside spot for a even smaller dirk on it. Very concealable at Rennaisance Faires. Not many Wild West shows around the Tulsa area. Lots of rodeos though. I do like the push knife handle though. Even if your hand got bloody it would still be easier to grasp. I'm pushing it, pushing it real good. :)
Hey, Santee, I mentioned in a video of yours about a hideaway blade of yours, that Dennis Quaid in a western carried a push blade. What if I wanted to look like one of those characters? What store sites sale the Most vintage and historically accurate western clothes on the cheap? I believe you sometimes do the exact thing I would do if I wanted to look like I'm straight out good at looking like someone from the 1800s.
The problem is "on the cheap" and "most historically accurate" don't go together. Wild West Mercantile probably has the best prices, but not all of their stuff is historically accurate. River Junction has accurate but not cheap. Ultimately, I would save some money and invest in whichever place gets you what you want. My blade is inexpensive because it was made in Pakistan. Most American made ones that are period correct are expensive.
Great job and well done. I got a ton of inspiration for the old west inspired analog horror series Mysteriarch Mythos I’m currently writing. Alongside me adding push daggers to my old West analog horror series Mysteriarch Mythos, I’ll be adding pirates to my old west inspired analog horror series as well.
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks. I’ll also be adding cosmic horrors/technological witch like beings to the story as well. There’ll be some archeological dig sites and possessed cursed objects and demonic skulls in my story too.
Very interesting and informative video, I really liked and enjoyed it. I learned a lot about the push dagger in the old west. I’m definitely going to be adding push daggers to my old West inspired analog horror series Mysteriarch Mythos I’m writing.
Ha! That was a great episode. As a knife maker I love learning about this stuff. Thanks to you and your gang for the entertainment this morning ☕️
Yes, that is great you do it. You might not like my blade because it was made in Pakistan. However, if you've made one or some other Old West style knives, let me know, I'd love to see some pics!

@@ArizonaGhostriders I’d be up to seeing that one!
@@hardheadjarhead Brother, I've got a friend/subscriber who has done some studying on it, and we're meeting tomorrow. We'll see what I come up with.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I would also very much enjoy pugilism in the old west. I don't know how accurate it was but I enjoyed the inclusion of the pugilist character in young guns.
@@ArizonaGhostriders did anyone study and use other martial arts besides boxing?
This was fascinating. Spot on that almost everyone used or carry knives and a 10 inch Bowie was not always the best choice.
Thank You!
Another fine & informative video, Santee!

Man, a push dagger is a nasty weapon. It's so intuitive and fast to use. Basically requires zero training and does significant damage in all the same places you would normally punch.
Yessir. Little to know technigque needed.
On the other hand i've seen many fights where someone doesn't land a single punch, it's also intuitive to dodge punches and avoid being hit.
Awesomeness on all the levels! Great to see your brother and his wife too!!

It is true that german army ( Wehrmacht), armed NS organisations like SS or Gestapo did crimes for ideological reasons , i an atheist, don' t like crimes done for political or religuous extremism reason, so i am sad about the things happened ,in german name'. But: : I also don' t like lies for reason of ,political correctness'. In case of this mostly muslim asylum seekers i am rather angry. The fact, thst i have to pay lazybones with my tax money is one thing. But Germany is my homeland, i, a german citizen, have to respect the laws of my country. I expecct, that also foreigners respect the laws of my country. But: In my country i have never heared, that german men raped muslim women, but especially since 2015, when Mrs. Merkel let hundredthousands of uncontrlled muslim men into my country, many girls and women had been raped by this muslim invaders, and some women, i am Brittas boyfriend, told me , how angry they are about behaviour of muslim men . In my hometown this asylum seekers caused a violent revolt in public swimming pool ( Freibad) and some women said the police, their ten/ eleven years old daughters had been tuoched by this muslim asylum seekers. In case of sexual crimes this muslim men are overrepresented, and also in case of knife crime. But politicans, and mostly left wing newspaper and TV journalists try to cover this.
Same here in France mate, same thing for firearms laws, the number of firearm crimes has not decreased here because criminals do not follow the law, only citizens suffer these laws without being able to do anything while they follow the laws
I love push daggers. Anytime you can hold your knife and something else without discomfort is a win.
Right?
I have several modern push daggers and love em. Thank you for sharing this information big thumbs up.
Thanks for watching!
Nice of you to include family in this one. Especially when he's qualified to teach about a certain subject. Great video today.
Be safe out there, and take it easy man. 😎
Thank You!
I love that Scott is demonstrating with his wife
She is a blackbelt too.
I love push daggers for some of the reasons that he gave. While they are illegal in many cities, they are also a great choice for someone driving through a city. One can hold a push dagger between the fingers and still grip a steering wheel. One needs to be careful with where the hand goes, but one can drive a car and have the knife ready to deploy. If a thug were to break a window and reach into the car, the driver could just make a fist and stab or slash the approaching hand.
Nice!
Love it and keep ‘em coming kind sir.
Thanks, will do!
This keeps getting better and better. Thank your brother and his wife for us. I'm still a fan of the pew pew at the end.
Glad to hear it!
This kind of dagger is my favorite type of defensive edged weapon. They can be very concealable, fast to deploy, easy to use, difficult to defend against(all knives are but this one just a bit more so in my opinion). Shame on the politicians who have passed bills to prohibit these in so many places. I would take mine everywhere if I could.
Out West I found that pretty much every state is OK with them.
I have a few Cold Steel push daggers. Great video.
Right on
Good night, Steve. Great video buddy.
HA!! Thank You!
I've literally owned every push-knife on your brother's table at one point in time. Handy little things. One particular company makes the best modern-day examples. No worries, Santee. Won't give them free advertising on your channel. Will say though, if your Glock has run dry and you're forced to use it as a club, yeah; situation: Seriously Folked Up.
At that point you start singing Peyton Parrish’s “Valhalla Calling” and hope to die a heroic death…because you’re done!
I would say. I've heard that from military fellows.
Great video guys, loved you including your brother. I always heard of them referred as a kid as a "palm knife?" But I think it's an under appreciated weapon, well done
Thank You!
I was expecting at some point to see the Ed Bailey “were not friends anymore” clip from Tombstone. Isn’t that what Holiday uses in that scene? That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the thumbnail of the video.
Interestingly, a lot of people employ the point of their carkeys in much the same way when expecting unexpected trouble these days if walking somewhere dangerous and don’t have a gun.
Another great video.
I originally had my car keys in the first takes of the video…a key fob is an excellent field expedient. It won’t last too long before breaking, I imagine, but it would work in a pinch.
He uses a small dagger, but not the "push" variety. That's why I didn't use the clip. Too many people would give me trouble for that.
Thank you Santee for this information 😎
No problem 👍
Loved it! Thanks as always!!!!!
So glad!
Wow! Now that was a sharp episode and really on point too! And may there be plenty of pew pews on your trails for you and Mrs Santee. BTW what was in the jug, looks interesting?
Moonshine (commercial stuff).
Used one of these for years, best knife for beginners in self defense
I'd say!
Love the vid, I'm a knife guy myself, love all the different versions that are out there..my first knife was a small Swiss Army one for the Cub Scouts..my mother got me my first big one..and fittingly enough, if anyone has read any of my comments about my mom on the various videos of this channel, it was a Bowie knife. I still have the thing but it's not exactly the best since it WAS a rather cheap one but it still holds a special place in my heart cause it was my first big knife and it was a gift from my mom. Also you think we could get a vid on what kids did for fun out in the old west when they had free time from doing chores and the like?
Sure. I did one on toys, btw.
I bet your knife will never run out of bullets.
Oh yeah!!!! They had that Indian dagger in Temple of Doom! At the time I first saw it, I thought it was something they came up with for the movie! These push daggers look like they could have served as inspiration for the modern kitty knuckles, what do you think, Santee? I know one thing, I’m not trying to mess with a 7th degree black belt in ANY martial art. Great video, brother, I enjoyed it!
Aw, thanks, BJ!
@@ArizonaGhostriders You’re welcome!
Looks like a great sense of humor runs in your family. I'm a fan of dirks myself. I have one that is small with a sheath that has a smaller outside spot for a even smaller dirk on it. Very concealable at Rennaisance Faires. Not many Wild West shows around the Tulsa area. Lots of rodeos though. I do like the push knife handle though. Even if your hand got bloody it would still be easier to grasp. I'm pushing it, pushing it real good. :)
LOL!
Good video I like your intro how did you film and do the Title? Your family is funny you brothers wife had me rolling with that choke
You have to have a good sense of humor to be able to take a choke.
Bad da bum…
I can’t see the reply
Thanks so much. I filmed the title at a movie set I've worked at, the rest is After Effects.
Glad to see comedy & Dad jokes run in the family :)
Thank You!
Hey, Santee, I mentioned in a video of yours about a hideaway blade of yours, that Dennis Quaid in a western carried a push blade. What if I wanted to look like one of those characters? What store sites sale the Most vintage and historically accurate western clothes on the cheap? I believe you sometimes do the exact thing I would do if I wanted to look like I'm straight out good at looking like someone from the 1800s.
The problem is "on the cheap" and "most historically accurate" don't go together. Wild West Mercantile probably has the best prices, but not all of their stuff is historically accurate. River Junction has accurate but not cheap. Ultimately, I would save some money and invest in whichever place gets you what you want.
My blade is inexpensive because it was made in Pakistan. Most American made ones that are period correct are expensive.
That mosaic pin at the center of the handle really gives it a little something extra, nice find.
Thanks. It's probably not American made, but it's more historically accurate than modern American ones.
Hey Santee, what about another video with object history: Saps, Slungshots and Blackjacks in West?
I second that!
Robert is game for it, I believe. Crazy knowledgeable that kid.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Yes indeed. Because of all his information I decided to buy my firts flat sap.
I always enjoy your videos this is a good one I have plenty of nice knives. Never thought of carrying a push knife
Thank You!
Great stuff Santee, nice collaboration with the family...... I want one in case I have to go "medieval" on some varmint ! Haha, thanks
You should!
Great job and well done.
I got a ton of inspiration for the old west inspired analog horror series Mysteriarch Mythos I’m currently writing.
Alongside me adding push daggers to my old West analog horror series Mysteriarch Mythos, I’ll be adding pirates to my old west inspired analog horror series as well.
Cool!
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks.
I’ll also be adding cosmic horrors/technological witch like beings to the story as well.
There’ll be some archeological dig sites and possessed cursed objects and demonic skulls in my story too.
Love this video. I carry one, never knew it was a old west thing. Awesome!!
Yay!
I was totally unaware of this weapon until Barnes/Berenger in Platoon thanks.
I forgot it was in there until someone mentioned it to me.
Never heard of these before now. They're like stabby brass knuckles. Learn something new on these videos. Thanks Santee.
Yes!
Good to see you guys
Thank You!
Carried one as a "Get off me knife" for many years in law enforcement
Thanks for your service, Kevin.
I always liked those. Practical, ergonomical and easy to carry. Sadly they're banned over here.
Awww
@@ArizonaGhostriders Some of our laws are plain stupid.
Very interesting and informative video, I really liked and enjoyed it.
I learned a lot about the push dagger in the old west.
I’m definitely going to be adding push daggers to my old West inspired analog horror series Mysteriarch Mythos I’m writing.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks and your welcome 👍🏼🌟😎
