Carrying Knives | Overview, Tips, & Techniques

In this video, I give a review on four knives I find myself using most often.
I cover concealed carry, overt carry, and plate carrier mounted options as a space-creating tool that complements the use of firearms in threat-engaging scenarios.

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.
