I was kinda in a knife fight , bout 20 years ago . on a job site an illegal alien working for a different crew pulled a fixed blade on me and acted like he intended to use it . I hit him with a 4 foot metal level about 8 or 10 times , that I was using when he walked up talking shit . I guess really I wasn't in a knife fight ....you know what they say , don't bring a knife to a level fight ! also I busted that dude up pretty bad , but he was at work the next day and never looked crossways at me after. I did have to buy a new level....

yup

[@TheNuttyKnifeGuy]

I prefer at least a bit of a guard on my personal protection knives: not as a blade catcher, but to keep my hand from sliding up the blade in case I thrust at something soft and squishy and hit something hard like bone. The Ground Combat Knife has a deep enough child to sort of act as a guard.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

I'm with you. There needs to be some kind of choil or finger well. At most a small guard on the bottom

[@toothless-tiger]

There's a reason why your channel is one of my favorite knife channels even though I hardly ever comment, and this video is the truth and nothing but the truth.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Thanks bro

[@Ve-suvius]

Well spoken. Also agreed in the end. "Be kind to eachother". Many escalations just don't need to happen. People should control their ego, like they would control their dog starting to act aggressively to people passing by(which a good human would do anyway). But if there's no way out, really no other option, yes , then it's justified. But de-escalation would be best. Like telling a joke to that person. And then he's like, "what"? Don't know. Just came up in my mind 🤷‍♂😇.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

exactly

[@rogerwilliams2629]

The guard is to keep you from sliding upand cutting your hand when you hit bone, which you almost always will without a guard. They collect blood at stabbings because the attacker cuts themselves so much. Man, I love knives and have studied how to use them a long time, and I dread like hell ever using one on a person...they are so ...efficient. You are so right...it ain't the movies . But I wear my Bowie and my Izula neck knife just in case. Giid to see you D, saving for a DBad Musso!!

Lengths don't matter if the blades are close to the same size.

[@toddcarr.]

Best advice I've heard about knives in general, edges are for cutting the point is for killing, it's something that was instilled in me at a very early age. I have zero knife fighting training and have never had to use one in self defense thank God, but if it ever does happen and my life is on the line it's one thing I'll try to remember. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable.

[@clffreak]

When in a knife fight, you want to follow these rules : 1) stab rather than slice 2) mobility and balance are key so DO NOT kick in a knife fight, doing so is a high risk/low reward thing 3) if your knife/reach is longer, you may try slicing their front hand/wrist/forearm 4) do not get into knife fights :)

[@DonnieBAllDay]

kicking is very important. I kicked a guys wrist knocking a collapsible baton out of his hand when I was a bouncer. Then I tossed him around

[@zeemzero2880]

Do not forget spitting, especially in the eyes - always catches people off guard. Also too isn't there an old military style where you put your arm in front of you to guard your vitals and sacrifice your forearm while keeping the knife moving underneath said arm so your opponent cant "track" your knife?

Steak knife, bread knife whatever you do not want to get cut. It does suck. Bad guys are predators and they go for the young, the old, the disabled and the like. The more risk you appear to present the less likely you will get attacked. Knives are biomechanical cutting tools to me as a self defense tool.. Reality is both people will be cut. Clay Allison was in a famous knife fight with a knife fighter. His opponent died and Clay was stuck and had a severe thigh cut. Clay when the guy refused to fight him with a pistol let the guy pick the weapon. Ballsy of old Clay but not real smart. Also, ironic the knife fighter lost to the gun fighter....in a knife fight.

[@FireStar-gz2ry]

The reason like combat knives or fighting knives used to be really big, was because it was at one time or so necessary. it's the thing that's left over from the Middle ages, when people kill each other with swords and clubs and things like that. so it makes sense that you don't need guards on your knives, and the knives would be much smaller than it was back then. If anything, and don't have anything really important to protect, just run away as fast as you can. It's not usually worth getting stabbed over

Anyways getting stabbed SUCKS!! 👊🏼

Yep most knife instances I've been in & know of . It's been the good old sneak attack, or the aggressor was brandishing & or threatening with the knife. I've had a bizarre encounter at my front door a 4am while warming up my car & a large stranger just appeared in my doorway ( startled me ) and said ya gotta be careful of strangers & I startled him with my neck knife lol. He then slowly pulled a paring knife & said this is what he carries for protection. FUCKING bizarre encounter & we had a chat about knifes & I said I gota go to work . & that was that.

[@natekmbowie]

What? Real life isn't like the movies? My world has been shattered. Was curious though about knife throwing though. In my non expert opinion, if one tried to defend themself with a knife against someone with a gun, I'd personally think trying to close the distance or get on the other side of some sort of a choke point would be way better than trying to throw a knife. Or were you assuming that both those options weren't there when you mentioned it? Then again, the chance I could disable an attacker by throwing a knife is probably zero, so maybe that's just me looking at it from my lack of skills. Just curious to hear your thoughts.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Closing the distance sounds good but when you approach somebody who is scared they are going to react. If you are more than 3' away closing the distance distance is nowhere near as fast as pulling a trigger
