Colonel Blades - The Best Fighting Knife for EDC | Episode #40

[@4EverHome]

I ordered two knifes through Bravo Company and received them this morning. They seem very solid and it is exactly what I have been looking for but never knew it existed. I will order more as gifts for my friends. Thanks

I had no problem getting mine. Great price and fast shipping. The include the trainer and a tac pen with refill ink.

[@Ostrich101R]

Amazing design for punching & puncturing, very strategic. Extremely tactical, great for military combat use. Would be hard argument defending the use of this knife in court, even for self defense. Would have to be a great lawyer. A knife is a tool for cutting & puncturing specifically, and also for self defense, if need be. This knife is especially designed for stabbing. Combat use. Looks like a great self defense knife.

[@CarryTrainer]

The notion of an indefensible tool due to its lethality is a fallacy. A fallacy based on the idea that the victim waa perhaps not in true jeopardy. Any level of deadly force is a last resort to stop violence against an innocent. If that cannot be proved it doesn't matter if a #2 pencil or a samurai sword were the tool.

[@inquisitor4635]

Most normie jurors would now be very confused by your use of such big words and rational coherence. And one speck of a previous criminal mark on your record would surely secure you a place down in the dungeons partying with the sodomites by an liberal judge.

[@BCmachine]

I've got one. Absolutely love it.

[@CarryTrainer]

Hope you used our code!

[@BCmachine]

CarryTrainer got mine off Amazon some time ago for a great deal. The NCO Low Viz is hands down the best defensive knife I’ve ever owned regarding EDC purposes. I wear a suit to work, and can easily conceal the blade without printing.

[@Tuffmutha]

How do i get a code?

[@OvelNick]

OK, never seen this dude before. I agree with all the comments that the knife looks a bit sketchy. Honestly, from his look and the "Bruce Lee had nothing on me, OK?" I thought he was going to start saying he harnesses his chi so perfectly he doesn't even need to leave the house to kill bad dudes.

[@CarryTrainer]

Take a look at who designed it, who uses it and who it was crafted for.

[@rb7994]

This knife is not sketchy at all...once I saw this thing I was sold. I bought it and honestly carry this more than I do any of my guns. It's very natural. It's just an extension of your hand. If you know how to throw a punch then you can use it. There's no fear of dropping it or having it taken away because your hand is wrapped around it. This is the first (and probably only) knive I've ever bought in my life for self defense.

[@franklinmiranda8835]

These guys are hilarious 😂

[@hahahalo777]

So he "designed" a small karambit with a trigger guard?

[@CarryTrainer]

This is nothing like a karambit whatsoever. Take a deeper look

[@javierr.castillo1101]

Poor design. Unpractical

[@antiheroes7972]

A karabit is a slashing blade this is a stabbing weapon (almost a push dagger). Both have draw backs I do like the Karabit like grip tho

[@andysocial3400]

@@antiheroes7972Firstly: In reverse grip you could use this like a karambit style knife. You would know that if you had Karambit training. Secondly: Everyone is entitled to their opinion. This knife is a cool concept but I think it needs some work. Chewing gum while you explain the product is a little ridiculous.

[@redriver6541]

@@javierr.castillo1101 ??? Are you some kinda spec ops dude or do you play a knife fighter on GTA? I guarantee you don't wanna screw with somebody half way athletic packing one of these.

[@The4cp]

It's like a karambit with the ring in the middle. Way easier to use. Brilliant system. I'll definitely check into getting one.

[@CarryTrainer]

A karambit is meant for hooking and slashing. This is intended to strike, although it surely can slash and be used in reverse grip.

[@jdykstra3365]

Awesome video.. very informative

[@xKaidoh]

Hi, I am curious, aside from its larger size, how is this different from the la griffe? In general the usage and design seem to to be similar. The design philosophy also seems to be very similar to the TDI.

[@temporarygentleman4434]

exellent design best ive seen ..

[@Americaacp]

Never been a knife guy but sir you sold me on this, buying it as we speak

[@CarryTrainer]

As a tool for a very bad problem it excels. Do right

[@Cod3Thr33]

I tried to order one of their folders from their website. The website said they were out of stock, but I could sign up to receive notification when they get some back in stock. The notification function didn't work, so I sent them a Facebook message asking them about it. After several days, they finally replied, but they didn't really answer my question. So, I commented on one of their posts, telling them I've been trying to get a straight answer from them for about a week. Instead of reaching out to me with anything that could be construed as customer service, they BLOCKED ME! Are you kidding me?! Now, I've made it my personal hobby to tell everyone I know online, and in person about the AT&T-like customer service I received from Colonel Blades. They WILL answer my question "When will your folders be back in stock?" one way or another.

I'm not trying to be rude, don't take this in a bad way, but does exhaling when punching of stabbing do anything? Or is it just how people fight?

[@jgilljr]

are they stll available?

[@heithm38]

I have 2 similar knives. I have the K-bar TDI and the MT 667 Mtec neck knife. The Mtec knife is almost the same knife but smaller and with a warinclif point. The buety of this knife is that no-one will take the blade from the holder of this knife. Also good price point. I was looking at another similar blade the CRKT tecpatl. The CRKT knife is closer to a T-push dagger. The CRKT blade is in the same ballpark as this knife. I can see myself buying your in the next 3 months. Thanks. This is like a TDI PLUS knife. I like the TDI but wish it had the front finger hole like the Mtec knife. This bridges both worlds. I always like wearing my Mtec neck knife. It's my favorite neck knife.

[@thetribe2101]

How would you compare it with usual punch dagger?

"Bruce lee had nothin on me." Hopin youre joking

[@willamxavier7305]

What's its advantage over a push dagger?

[@Osprey1994]

I'll stick with a normal pocket knife or one of the micro karambits. Benchmade also has a fixed blade with a similar angle but it's smaller.

[@wrongwayup8217]

I like it because of how intuitive it is from the get go. Not sure I'll get one as I'm not sure how I feel about using a knife for self defense. I like having just two levels of force escalation. Hand to hand and a fire arm. A knife just doesn't send the right messages and I feel you could easily be demonised should you use it regardless self defense.

[@CarryTrainer]

And when that gun goes empty, breaks, is taking away, or is unusable to use, such as innocent people in the line of fire? Then what? Do you ever enter a place that a knife is allowed but a gun is not? Options are life. Demonize away, I'm alive to present my case. The notion of force being demonized is often overused. If one is justified they had better be able to explain it.

[@wrongwayup8217]

CarryTrainer Excellent points. This is why you are the Master and I am the student. Thanks again Mick

[@macolincolncybersec]

What happens when you need to slash. What about when your intent isn't to kill?

[@CarryTrainer]

Your intent should never be to kill. It should be to stop violence against you. Slash? That knife will slash through a steel trash can. I've a video up doing it. FYI. If you pull a blade, a gun, bat, club or fists there had better be some real danger in front of you. We dont deploy an edge weapon to scratch someone.

[@Denman500.]

Awesome system,yes I like this Knife.

[@eddymia139]

Which angle should I sharpen the blade? My knife is dull as hell

[@marklawrence855]

I have a karambit but I think this might be better?

[@CarryTrainer]

Many folks compare this to a karambit at a glance. It's nothing like one. A karambit is a hooked slashing tool. This can slash but its made for simple and effective striking. To be used by the lawful in defense of life

[@inquisitor4635]

A karambit is made for the slash or hook and is really supposed to be double-edge to get maximum effectiveness with the hand-to-hand techniques, but that is illegal to own or use in self-defense. I find a single-edged Karambit to be such a diminishment of its intended purpose in this regard.This knife is more for the thrust and stabbing which to me is what I would rely upon more so in a situation, particularly if someone is wearing multiple layers of clothing in cold weather. Slashing would be more difficult to penetrate on someone with a shirt, overshirt or sweater and a jacket. Karambits traditionally come from areas where it is hot and less clothing worn lends itself for the slash to be more effective. But this also means that I must be able to wield it while wearing gloves in colder climates.

[@MichaelCook1981]

A karambit has a curved blade. The Colonel blade has a curved handle, they look similar at first glance. I personally don't care for the design or to carry it in the appendix carry. I prefer the Fox Karambit 479, I like to carry a knife in my pocket, the blade deploys when you pull it out. Yes karambit is technically a hook or slash tool, but you can also stab with it.

[@drew22318]

[@Konstantinos340]

legit blade. geometry and biomechanics go hand in hand

[@johnmutton799]

The Dudley butchers knife is the same and been around for a very long time. Usedin ww2.

[@CarryTrainer]

The Dudley Fighting knife is a completely different animal A full pistol grip with a complete hand guard and the blade turned flat, 90 degrees. Not something easily concealed at all. Nor remotely like this design. That's why the US patent office issued several patents on it.

[@williamm1582]

Also in PA. How do we get around the intent to inflict bodily injury, lawful purpose carry law?

[@CarryTrainer]

First, I am not providing legal advice. This is my opinion. Period. Do the research yourself. I believe you are referring to the following "It is illegal to own any implement for the infliction of bodily injury, which serves no “common lawful purpose” A small fixed blade is not illegal. The key here is intent. Self defense is lawful. Criminal intent or action is not. Always look at intent and place that into the context of the situation

[@Ksee89]

Take your normal fighting ability and put an exclamation point on the end. Your fighting ability is the statement the knife is the exclamation point!

Later he sad he didn't even realize he had been stabbed at all, until the fight was done and the knife guy was on the ground.

[@mmalave71]

Umm...this functions like a push blade. Not sure I’m seeing the innovation here

[@CarryTrainer]

Many innovations. Geometry, finger ring, blade surface. Sometime little things add up. There is also a big difference in what people think is good based on little to no real training and that which is based on data derived from those in the know.
