Cold Steel plastic less-than-lethal weapons pretty much rule. Covered here is the Koga SD1 and Shark Pen. Then give impact options for self-defense that won’t kill the guy if used correctly. Much information abounds about their training and use. These plastic strike and submission tools are tough and cost effective (see links below). While we are at it let’s look at Cold Steel FGX nylon knives and Delta Dart as well. Don’t kid yourself, these plastic blades, though light, could be deadly. Favorite versions for me are the Tanto and amazing, still, Taipan dagger. They serve in the Nutnfancy household and have for years. Other versions shown. Be careful where you take these; in secured areas you will be considered in possession of a weapon. Neverlheless, in many high moisture or weight critical applications they are cost effective ass kickers.

[@ChewbacaTW]

If security asks you about it. Just tell them it's a butt plug.

[@nosherz]

+Sam Harsha I don't think they'll buy that if you have the fgx taipan

[@DickTickles]

+nosherz Maybe not for the Taipan, but in San Fransicko they'd believe you if it was one of Cold Steel Indian War Clubs

[@Player_Review]

That would be great, to watch two warriors square off against one another with only plastic sharpies.

[@alvinjones6856]

+Jeremy Madsen until they pooked each others eyes out...then it would be gross....

[@sae1095hc]

Cold Steel "threw in" a free Delta Dart, w/sheath, when I bought some close-out items from their catalog. It lives in the left sleeve of my fav knock-around jacket.

[@hubolds1946]

Not sure why but my wife keeps a Koga under her pillow and one in her travel bag...

[@cameronnorton5898]

It's cause the one that's attached to you ain't good enough for her anymore.

[@darangemaster1]

several years ago while working investigations i would routinely carry a 16" ASP baton. i found myself backstage at a concert attached to the entertainment working a security detail. some jerks pushed there way backstage and were asked to leave and refused. we were in the process of escorting them out of the back of the venue and when we hit the crowd that was forming near that exit one of the jerks decides to grow a set and want to fight. he pushes my partner. i hit him with a closed mode ice pick strike about 4" over his left nipple and dropped him like a sack of potatoes. he cried like a little girl and oh we violated his civil rights and he got arrested to top off his night.

[@reptilianresearchredux5887]

+darangemaster1 Were they large men?

[@tacticalveterinarian]

I keep a large rawhide bone for my dog in my car for the same reason. Ever had to KO someone in self defense with a dog bone? It's quite rewarding actually.

[@TheCharleseye]

For all of the huge, smoked beef bones I've bought for my Mastiff... I never once thought about their use as a club. I think maybe I'll pick one up for myself the next time I get one for him. Good looking out.

[@andrewjames5671]

+Charles Eye the smell alone is worth it, I find myself wanting to go at the ones I buy for my dog but realise I have a freezer full of actual meat :)

[@TheCharleseye]

+Andrew James I was actually thinking that I'll probably end up keeping jerky in the truck again if I'm having to smell smoked beef constantly.

[@fjidsewff]

I can think of another double ended thing I wouldn't want to be beaten with.... though it would probably be more embarrassing than anything.

[@robertn4840]

wow dude, pretty hard to make me actually laugh when reading yt comments but you did it here nice job.

[@robertn4840]

+agp1209 'Darth Maul style' is killing me lol. That image in my head is so funny.

[@HptfwO]

Another great Video Nutn! I also love having These OPTIONS available. Yes a Knife is great but especially the baton is that much more practical as a self defence tool. And for the kubaton types when you know how to handle a great Thing and so unconspicious. Thanks man!

[@phobiarg]

There's an even cheaper option that is a mixture of a shiv a blunt strike tool and is far more inconspicuous... a friggan screw driver for $3...

[@-tr0n]

+phobiarg psh. my screw drivers cost like $40 each.

[@JayMillz]

I appreciate the stoic outlook this channel has. It comes from very realistic place, making note of the evil in the world and the prevalence of it as well as the will to do good. It gives light to the need to be prepared and to think of these things BEFORE it possibly happens... these are the reasons I love this channel.

[@MrAndrewmcgibbon]

the Koga looks like a Kegel exercise device

[@MrDubblejinx]

i like how informative the content on this channel can be. Good Job

[@rampant-tm5ry]

"I need to work on my bow staff skills" -Napolean Dynamite............-thx nutn

[@bobbyb608]

For me, it's always been head butt (or elbow from hell), kick away and draw weapon. I don't like being in arms reach of someone especially when I can't see their hands. I'm not going to go toe to toe armed with a metal sharpie against a stranger.

[@cowsofsuffolk2297]

Thanks for producing such a diverse channel. You keep bringing great options to the table. Thanks.

[@mattmulhisen3599]

Nutnfancy great vid! It's about time. I've always loved the Delta Dart and it's great to see all of the other options...

[@xeildranor2829]

The pocket shark seems kind of pointless. A normal marker would be just as good.

[@nutnfancy]

+xeil dranor Except a normal marker much, MUCH better at marking. The pocket shark has a tiny little nib of a tip and fairly weak ink delivery , but at least the TSA will think it's a dildo if they find it in a bag! Let's see sharpies do THAT! -TD

[@mwhich50]

+xeil dranor The shark is super thick (wall) and much, much stronger than a sharpie. $5-$7 is pretty cheap. The marker does not work that great.

[@thephranc]

+nutnfancy King Size and Magnum Sharpies can double as a dildo.

[@bradtheboss4416]

I agree, why not get a knife. Of course with the marker, you could mark the guy up pretty bad.

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

+xeil dranor You can also huff the marker.

[@thelevenbrech]

Hey nutn, thanks for all the detailed vids and hard work. I'm a knife knut and really only check your channel for KRV's, please keep them coming when you get the time.

[@rayamat01]

this video probably put me on some sort of list

[@AZNwannabe06]

You should be ashamed if you weren't already lol.

[@rayamat01]

+AZNwannabe06 haha

[@farmerboy916]

Love a lot of it; was completely unaware of cold steel's plastic knives that are actually useable, but would really love to see a knife/ weapon design made especially for the plastic. Wish I could have a baton here in Cali, and I'm unsure of the status with the other weapons. I'll have to look into it, nice little vid.

[@PowerMadHeadBanger]

Very nice job nutnfancy at showing some of the Cold Steel Nightshade Series weapons! The Delta Dart is by far my preferred. And notice you weighted the Delta Dart with the steel ring otherwise if you would take it off, it would be ridiculously lightweight. You may be the first one on KZbin to show the Delta Dart sheath on camera because I looked up and couldn't find before. It's like you said, they are lightweight, affordable, completely rust resistant.

[@th3pankake]

You read my mind for the topic of the vid! I've been looking into some defense options for traveling abroad, and some of these impact weapons or plastic darts (ow!) look like good options

[@northolmsted4045]

Also, just to add to the conversation, a 6D incandescent Maglite is quite effective as a club and is completely legal to carry everywhere. I carry one almost all the time strapped to the side of my backpack in a holster. When I flew from Columbia, SC to Micronesia via Chicago and Tokyo I was never questioned about it once. You can also add a side handle and a glass breaking carbide tip to make it a multi-purpose tonfa. I haven't tried flying with those parts attached, though.

[@danofiremano]

The blunt trauma stuff has been on my radar for a while now and I'm going to start training with a martial arts master soon who deals with lethal and non lethal tools, so these will be great EDC pieces! Thanks.

[@jasonbarrameda9818]

you a big fan of the millwall brick?

[@ddaverr]

Do more WROL or SHTF videos.

[@Mysticfox-wk2be]

+Dave R meh. I like the videos on currently useful topics.

[@hurt1704]

I agree. I love wrol and shtf videos!

[@tawlguy123]

Great video! Another pou that I will consider one of those knives is for a weapon while trail running! I don't exactly want to bring a pistol on a 10 mile run but a plastic knife that is only a few ounces now that's more like it! Love the channel nutn keep up the good work!

[@Paden0418]

Thanks for finally making this nut'n my house is filled with cold steel plastic weapons.

[@Master-AGN]

FGX blades with edges sandpapered back a little make awesome training blades. Highly recommended to buy FGX version (with the steel version) and get that muscle memory to reflex action.

[@HnRe42]

pretty dang interesting...hadn't ever heard of these offerings.

[@TripleSuccotash1]

I am a grown-ass man... and I literally giggled at 5:19

[@pinkiewerewolf]

I've been looking at the CRKT James Williams designed Tactical Pen, its calling to me lately. Looking forward to the updated Taipan dagger video.

[@andrewl9203]

I've always been a firm believer in the kubaton. Had to use mine once when i was on vacation in the city, and it probably saved me from a severe beating if not a worse fate.

[@Jasonz1919]

this was a good vid for us up hear in Canada good job

[@Gendo3s2k]

nutnfancy: EU version

[@xhale4148]

i bought the fury and received it yesterday and mounted it on my babies stroller for my wife... she loves it and you dont know its there and very accessible ! also bought the fgx tanto blade for a back up truck weapon.....thanks for the review

[@moparhemi1777]

hey nutn, will you do a krv of the cold steel broken skull? i'm pretty excited for this folder and from the specifications i would call it a homerun for a defensive/large utility knife if the traction plan was really really great. greetings from germany by the way: thank you for all the awesome blade reviews and the honesty... wasn't been able yet to find something informative that works better for me

[@utilitariansharp8597]

Great vid, especially for this day and age.

[@GunsNHarleys]

Great video, very good options and all are very affordable

[@theleoj91]

that intro though, good video mate

[@ilikewasabe]

hope they would make self defense thunderbeads.. so the attacker would be so grossed out that he/she would not attack you..

[@thurstonhowell9782]

Any chance of an update on the tactically squared away video?

[@markmasonsusee5283]

non lethal is always important. found a piece of steel hex bar at the foundry where I work. I cut it, ground it, heat treated it and slightly pointed the ends. its heavy though. I think I'll get a Shark or Koga. your videos on hand to hand tools and weapons are my favorite.

[@GunOwnerDan]

The Cold Steel plastic tanto is so sharp my uncle accidentally cut his hand with it.

[@yandriarce2439]

Whoa! Under 13 minutes

[@atxgeckos2430]

Nice weapons!

[@TaN00Ki]

Pro: loved it. Con: too short video on the matter. Part II someday? :P

[@AluminumStud]

I have a Surefire flashlight and it's air safe if you know what I mean. The aluminum body is definitely a viable impact device. It's not ideal, but for now they are ok for secure (and confined) areas and better than nothing. They also make a great flashlight too!

[@robertdole5391]

Could we get an old school Nutnfancy cardboard and heavy bag test with these plastic knives?

[@Nakanokalronin]

I have the Cold Steel Tanto. I bought it after watching the video "Cold Steel Nightshade Series" here on KZbin. At the end of the video they literally hammer it through a thick wood board and it doesn't break or deform.

[@scottsantanni7646]

the vid was nice and a good special video but I'm not the person who would worry about this but I like watching you make a vid on it GREAT VIDEO

[@NaihanchinKempo]

the "Delta Dart" is the Non custom ver of the Pat Crawford Devil Dart that is made of 440C very good throwing Knife

[@Revans_Apprentic_66]

Just got a MCUSTA KATANA SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IT!! Thanks nutnfancy

[@ShinobiHOG]

I recently started carrying around a "tactical pen". It's cool because it actually works as a pen too. Carrying around less than lethal options has the added benefit if you are forced to put a bad guy down because you can justify to the DA that you'd rather use less than lethal but you had no choice. Just some advice.....

[@timlipinski2571]

+Shinobi HOG I have the Maxpedition tactical pen that uses the Fisher Space Pen Refill. The pen can be used to break the side window of a car or buss to evade the zombies. Use the Tactical Pen on the corner of the side window, the weakest point of the window and also NOT for use on the windshield. The pen is mightier than the sword. tjl

[@ocoutdoors2355]

Does the Kogu have a vibration function?

[@shanewilliams5232]

Tanya Tucker nice song drop. I'd like that dart idea for an inconspicuous keychain

[@jacobmayle2478]

if it comes to someone attacking me i dont care if they die

[@spyhunter6411]

it's so cheap it's almost free. I actually got a shark for free in a joke contest haha

[@reptilianresearchredux5887]

The plastic tai pan may be, the dart you're pushing it, the table leg and the pen you're gonna get hurt.

[@thallium200]

Weight IS important in an impact weapon but opposite being lightweight. F = M x A

[@flcon16]

I didn't ever see a possibility where I'd ever need to use a bladed weapon for self defense. Last year while biking, I was chased for nearly two blocks by a loose dog who nearly knocked me over twice. After that, I picked up a delta dart and zip-tied the sheath to the frame of my bike next to my frame pump. I hope I never need to use it, but in two very close instances I saw the very real possibility of getting knocked to the ground and attacked by a creature with a mouth full of sharp teeth and nothing to defend myself with.

[@ARF.Racing]

+Dan Hauswald Pick up the bike put it between you and said animal and feed the animal the chains rings to the face until it retreats or dies which ever happens first.

[@IDWIE]

FYI, if you bring a knife to a fight, no matter what end of it you use, it will likely be viewed as a deadly weapon/deadly force. It's a pretty low threshold to get charged with felony assault if you use/ possess any weapon, IMO. I'm a LEO. Thanks for everything you all do to keep us all safe!!

[@yqwgjsg]

What will you be charged with if you are attacked and murdered and you don't have a weapon to defend yourself?

[@mach179]

Cold Steel FGX Cat Tanto Grivory with Kraton Grip. I bought one for the shower. Excellent idea.

[@mcdonkeylips]

Good for sneaking passed them metal detectors

[@fredherring4403]

Was that the CS Taipan in 3v?! Please do the review sir, Mr. Nutn, sir!

[@madtownangler]

I have the plastic tanto. thought I got a real cheap blade until after I ordered it and THEN read the description. darn alcohol.

[@theQillerify]

can you do a review on the benchmade hk axis? i've been hearing really good thing about the knife.

[@BwanaSuttree]

You're a a big kid, in a good way.

[@jonwebsterabbott]

"Stop the Evil Without killing the people" Love it

[@HeWhoSlayethCain]

I have an oak single knuckle I carry occasionally, made it myself, it can hit very hard.

[@christophermetz1550]

Cool products. Learn Kali and become exceptional with all of them. Especially the baton (easily the most effective and versatile weapon on the table for controlling distance and inflicting pain). Remmy Jr. (for those in the modern arnise know lol) once told me that the best concealable weapon on the planet is a sharpie because it can go into any building and on any plane, you just have to be good with your puña.

[@MetaZoo22]

What would the odds be of two people fighting each other with pocket sharks? 0. Because as soon as they realize they both just so happen to have pocket sharks they will laugh about it and go out for beers.

[@sulivanmagnum]

Nutn, you might consider getting the missus a Cold Steel Honey Comb, a polymer dagger hidden in a hair comb!

[@zarAK471]

I don't know if they have improved them or not, but I broke 2 aluminum asps just training beating on tires or sand bags. Asp took care of me on both counts, they replaced the first one and when I broke the second one I requested a steel version and it has been fine since

[@PoundItNailIt]

If it comes down to big brotha limiting things, I'll just sling my hammer; gotta love being a carpenter!

[@nutnfancy]

+John Chinn Yikes man....That's some brutal, Oldboy stuff right there! Doodle

[@PoundItNailIt]

+nutnfancy Just sayin, if all these inanimate objects are considered tools... If a police officer were to pull me over and ask me if I had any weapons in my vehicle, I've honestly considered saying, "Well, I've got a utility knife, an awl, a hammer, a crowbar a Sawzall" (and that just begins to describe things that could be used as a weapon!) But that does not include the firearms that I also carry in my vehicle and on my person. Hands, feet, even the vehicle I operate all have potential; but what's the intent? I have NO intent on harming anyone, but please don't f'k with me or mine 'cause l got tools to give me a chance of survival against those that wish to dispense evil. Thanks for reaching out Doodle, love what you and your dad offer the world; it has helped develop my mindset, gear & training over the years! Proud to be a member of the Project, and second kinda cool to have a response from a well respected KZbin celebrity!

[@dalecarpenter8828]

+John Chinn I keep tell people that threading someone with your car is assault with a deadly weapon but they don't get it.

[@glockster68]

+John Chinn yep a roofing hammer can do nasty stuff...all that impact is a small round circle.....play wackamole on the side of the head near the temple...yikes.

[@PoundItNailIt]

True dat. And how about a sheetrocker's hammer with that nasty little ax end? Viking anyone!?

[@buck19x87]

Got my TNP gear in yesterday! Thanks a bunch for making the coolest patches out there!

[@bryanmarks9237]

Do you have that TMP patch on your site for sale I ordered some other ones but I didn't see it? Thanks man

[@timlipinski2571]

+bryan marks Check out the links... that is where I ordered my Owl Patch ! ! ! (No relation to the Owl Resterant in New Mexico-one is at the exit for the Trinity Site) tjl

[@danzigrulze5211]

Was wondering if you would do a KRV of the new Broken Skull folder from Cold Steel... I haven't gotten rid of it from my pocket since I got my hands on one.

[@JamesBurwellActual]

FYI, batons considered "billy clubs" and thus illegal in the PRCA.

[@gary123hey]

any binoculars you might review or recommend?

[@SpydieFan]

Interesting products, Just a heads up to brand new Cold Steel knife, the Broken Skull, 4 inch blade and weighs just 3oz, CTS XHP steel at well under $100

[@bowencreer3922]

Having that in the shower is a fantastic idea. Lol

[@theKAHUNA144]

+Bowen Creer ya what the fuk . I sleep with a gun but showering with a cold steel come on right. but its nutn so, as you were boss.

[@bowencreer3922]

+theKAHUNA144 I wasn't being sarcastic. Lol

[@MEGALODONGERS]

+Bowen Creer Having a Koga in the shower would be an even better idea!

[@theKAHUNA144]

well its your shower you do what you want in there .

[@Perforator2000]

If horror movies have taught us anything, it is that we're most vulnerable in the shower.

[@eldermean2166]

@nutnfancy I for one would like to hear your opinion on the LaVoy Shooting.. I would of thought you would of had a thought on it.. Sorry to bring it up but you seem to have a good voice on things like this.

[@jonr620]

Hey Nutn, are you still carrying the Taser as a less than lethal option? How often would you say?

[@MoreAmerican]

Delta dart is way cheaper on eBay folks

[@Cain0078]

I just lo-o-ove my delta dart (my third so far). Got 3 of them 7 years ago, started training with red sharpies with my brothher... and since they stay in the sheath, and don't get blunt, they're still as sharp as when I got them. Even my woman keeps one in the pocket, says it's a good female -edc for dark nights. Or dark knights?

[@MeowMeowDeathRay]

+Cain0078 But my question is why would u pick it over a knife? Or pepper spray or electric teaser for the lady?

[@andrewjames5671]

+PierreDolphin they are good trainers for the real thing, I'm pretty sure it's what they where originally meant for like the ka bar trainers.

[@MeowMeowDeathRay]

***** Theres only one place i know where i could put it that i would still have it when i lost all my gears...

[@Profit187]

Really like that idea of having one for the shower

[@dildoswaggins4881]

An ill say it again...NutNFancy Killed it!

[@Mysticfox-wk2be]

SELF-DEFENSE GENTLEMAN'S BOTTLE OPENER. I just received one of these in the mail. Hope I never have to try it out, but it seems useful.

[@MeowMeowDeathRay]

+Mysticfox2010 If you hold your key (preferably car key) in your palm with the key blade in between your fingers, itll have the same effect as theses fingers protective punching thingies.

[@Mysticfox-wk2be]

+PierreDolphin thats what i usually do. now i changed it since breaking my car key means paying a buttload of money to get a new one. using a key without the chip causes the car to seize up.

[@cannonball666]

You forgot the black pic comb with a fist on it.

[@caspforge]

I like the darts I think I'll get some of those

[@Hufekf32]

The dart looks scary af

[@duende29]

The hell do you need a plastic knife in your shower for?

[@marksonson260]

In Sweden we can not carry any of these items and of course no firearms or knives. Funny thing is that improvised weapons out of completely legal items may be more lethal than for example a knife. I mean, carry an open lock in one pocket and a chain in the other, when in need just snap the lock on one extreme link of the chain and start smashing.

[@nutnfancy]

These things are cool They're cheap and effective defense tools. Be smart where you carry them though. -nutnfancy

[@homsuplo7757]

so much talk of use of weapons, dildos, even halitosis. wtf ever happened to flying tiger, crouching dragon kung fu? I trap my assailant with flying kicks, lightning flowing robe punches and I spin the enemy into oblivion with my cloth satin shoes spins. all this is done 30 feet in the air, please practice often, grasshopper.

[@dawhitecastle]

Would love to get one of those batons...but they are illegal to carry here in MD

[@heatmojo]

i thought you hit yourself and said ow at the end

[@GhostSpa]

Sadly, carrying most of these are as illegal (some like the expandable baton even more) as carrying a knife here in Spain. Here, we have to carry everyday objects as self-defence weapons, and oh boy if you use more than the required strength to disarm your attacker.

[@majormassenspektrometer]

I also have a pocket shark but it's not made of plastic.
