[@22fps]

I really appreciate that you provide honest reviews and that you are free to express your opinion

[@Karatemart]

Thank you so much! I try to be as fair as possible with the weapon reviews. I hope you have an excellent week!

[@flashforce699]

I have been looking at that trench knife for a while now , and you showing how solid it is really helped my brothers birthday is coming up on the 29th , so the choice just got narrower .

[@Karatemart]

That’s awesome, Troy! It’s very nice of you to buy something for your brother. I hope you are having an awesome week, my friend!

[@ObservantPiratePlus]

The Black Ops Trench Knife looks like something a space pirate would carry. 👨‍🚀🏴‍☠

[@Karatemart]

Heck yeah! It totally does!

[@SesDestu]

Tough choice this time the Gladius dagger was sweet but I went with the trench knife this time 😮

[@Karatemart]

Excellent choice, my friend! Both are awesome weapons!

[@DeezyP]

I hate that I haven't been able to catch a premier in a while. But I'm definitely enjoying the "trench" theme blades here lately!

[@Karatemart]

Thank you, my friend! I really appreciate all your support! It means a lot to me!

[@9daywonda]

I am still at the library as far as carbon fibre is concerned, I really liked the shape of the gladius dagger. The trench knife wasn't too shabby either. I'm going for the gladius knife as my fav. this week take care guyz.

[@Karatemart]

Excellent choice, my friend! I was really impressed by how easy it was to throw. Have an awesome week!

[@VTPSTTU]

Thanks to everyone for Weapons Wednesday. I really appreciate that you showed the Dark Gladius Dagger as a throwing knife as well. I think seeing that other use is neat.

[@Karatemart]

I couldn’t believe how easy it was to throw too!

[@steventhorson4487]

Absolutely ❤️ 💯!!

[@Karatemart]

Thanks so much, Steven! I really appreciate it!

[@kennethjoseph9309]

I live that last weapon. I think that'll be your go to weapon Kyle. It has everything you need and its comfortable.😊

[@Karatemart]

It’s such a comfortable knife, Kenneth! It was crazy how comfortable it was even hitting the wing chun dummy! I hope you are having an awesome week, my friend!

[@Pbadome1]

Nice, when I see 19 minutes at the bottom, I sit back and enjoy. I haven't commented in a few weeks, so first off, I love how you insert people during your presentation, it works really well. And Amanda, well she's a doll, although she hasn't handed you a stun gun in a while. You're a star Kyle, you make these videos so positive, you're realistic and honest about weapons that you won't sell, and all in all, I totally enjoy my Wednesdays. As for laws in my State, I give up, I'm in NY, they have a law for tying your shoes correctly, so I just do what's best for me. I'm going to the community tab, and most obviously, the trench knife is a clear winner. Probably going to buy two, in case of the looming apocalypse I can hold one in forward and one in reverse grip. Finally, when you've chopped the Wing Chun dummy down to three feet, put it on Ebay, I'll buy it!

[@Karatemart]

Thanks so much, Phil! I really appreciate all your kindness and support! You really have a kind heart, my friend! Thanks for being so cool!

[@TheKentuckyPatriot]

Great stuff brother!

[@Karatemart]

Thanks man! I haven’t seen you in a little while. I hope life is treating you well, my friend!

@@Karatemart I should have commented more to encourage you and let you know how much I enjoy your channel. We have been so blessed. My kids just finished up basketball so now my girl went right into volleyball season and my boy straight into soccer. Work, church, school, and sports is about all we get done lol. I appreciate your skill and awesome family friendly channel. God bless you and yours 🙂

[@SesDestu]

That Gladius nice looks like a good throwing sword 👌

[@Karatemart]

It was actually really easy to throw!

[@tonywalkingstick8883]

Last week that jungle combat dagger looks very close to a kunai dagger and adding some cordage or paracord helps create it into another weapon that Kung-fu Warriors and Shaolin Monks used making it have extended reach. These types of weapons used darts and blades like the dagger. My choice today would be that trench knife. Also it looks to be the best one you've shared and tested for us so far.

[@Karatemart]

Awesome, Tony! That trench knife is an excellent choice! I hope you are having a great week, my friend!

[@tonywalkingstick8883]

So far, so good.

[@Shadowman9348]

I'm literally stuck between the trench knife & karambit - it's a really tough choice!

[@Karatemart]

Both are excellent choices! I hope you are having an awesome week, my friend!

Thank you so much, Dana!

[@DShiflet01]

The trench knife seems like the best straight up option...though if I were wanting to be stealthy the gladius dagger(isn't that basically a pugio?) seems like it would be easier to conceal and would be more stealthy.

[@Karatemart]

I completely agree!

[@MrDDiRusso]

The GLADIUS DAGGER is actually closer in shape to the Roman PUGIO DAGGER.

I'd probably go with the Trench Knife or Dark Gladius Dagger. If I had to choose among those.

[@Karatemart]

Those are both excellent choices, Steve! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!

[@wolverine5300]

Awesome show once again Kyle, I agree with you on that hand forged short sword. I look forward to each wednesday. Do you have an actual physcial store where someone can buy stuff and look around? Tell Amanda hi and glad she is a part of the videos.

[@Karatemart]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Unfortunately, we only have an e-commerce headquarters without a physical retail store. Have an awesome week, my friend!

[@anthonyhazard6037]

I’d go with the trench knife, also may I ask what you think of shields?

[@Karatemart]

Excellent choice, Anthony! Shields are awesome in the right hands. Thanks so much for watching!

[@pyrosmoak53]

Another great W.W as always Kyle and Amanda 👍👍. That trench knife seems like an absolute beast and great apocalypse weapon that I'd love to carry into battle. The Gladius dagger would've been a close 2nd if it had a leather sheath. Nylon is fine I'm just not the biggest fan. The knucks are quite awesome as well and very discreet which I like. The karambit was Kool but something about the tracker stylized blade irritates me lol and the "bottle opener" notch needs to go bye bye lol. I love the honesty when reviewing the hand forged sword and I agree 💯 that you shouldn't sell it, Kool idea but poorly executed imo.

[@Karatemart]

Awesome! Thank you so much, my friend! I really appreciate all your support! It means a lot!

[@eniolima2179]

GREAT vídeo kyle! The karambit is awesome!

[@Karatemart]

Thank you so much, Enio!

[@TheGreatest1974]

The 2nd way you used the knuckles is the correct way to use them. With the edge just in front of the second knuckle. Great items. 👍 god bless America! 🇺🇸🇬🇧👍

[@Karatemart]

You are correct for most knuckle dusters, Brian. But, there are a lot of knuckle dusters out there that have a slightly more rounded, thick and oval shaped palm grip (similar to a trench knife) that are meant to be used in a punching fashion, so it’s always a good idea to test them out lightly in both ways before going hard with them. Have an awesome week, my friend!

[@TheGreatest1974]

@@Karatemart you are correct! Cheers Kyle!👍

[@danam.scruggs1712]

I loved the very last one. What a cool knife!

[@Karatemart]

Thanks Dana! Yeah, I love the shape of the blade on that knife!

[@stevo4535]

Nice tips on knives! 9mm actually protects myself but blades are good for things too!

[@Karatemart]

Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!

[@Tito_Viera]

Mr. Woody Dummie deserves a medal!! Hey in my experience the best knuckle dusters are the ones whit a "egg" shaped finger's holes, with the bottom of the "eggs" oriented to the palm. Just like the original guard of the first pattern trench US knife from WWI.

[@Karatemart]

That was said perfectly, Tito. Those are my favorite as well. Thanks so much for watching!

[@toddsafi5052]

I voted for the carbon fiber knuckles. After a few minutes work with sandpaper, they will interact with the hand much better. Like always, I'd stick with the two finger version and have it placed around the pointing and middle finger. That's the hammer head of a classic boxer's fist.

[@Karatemart]

Nice, Todd! Excellent choice, my friend and I like your idea of customizing them with sandpaper!

[@shawnclifford362]

Good morning Kyle and Amanda. Short sword was a disappointment. I don't usually like karambits, but I liked the tracker karambit. Gladius dagger is nice. Trench knife was wicked. But I think I choose the karambit. Nice throw by the way. Always a pleasure. Cheers ☘️

[@Karatemart]

Thanks Shawn! That’s an excellent choice, my friend! It’s always a pleasure hearing from you, my brother! Have an awesome week!

[@alanjoslin5612]

Black Ops Trench Knife I vote for that. Gladius Dagger I got one but bigger and its nice! Hey Kyle, are you family of Adam West? [POW]

[@Karatemart]

Lol…one would think I was family of Adam West!😂. I hope you are having an awesome week, Alan!

[@VTPSTTU]

The Hand Forged Short Sword had real potential. The manufacturer seemed to have a pretty good idea for a sword and do a pretty good job building the sword. The maker has skill that I can only envy. The grips seem to have become an afterthought into which he/she/they put zero effort. Adding a worthwhile hand guard and then finishing the bend of the knuckle guard would have been difficult, but doing so would have improved this sword. Injection molded grips could be made to be a one-piece grip system around the handle, but I realize that injection molding isn't available for everyone. A two-piece grip system held together with epoxy and pins would probably be robust enough. If the grips were made of a nice pakkawood, they might look nice. Those improvements alone might have made this sword good enough to sell. I tend to prefer forward-curving blades to backward-curving blades, but a more gracefully-executed backward curve would help this sword. I know that hand-forging a curve must be difficult, but I think this sword would look better if the curve were further forward on the blade and continued all the way to the tip. On this blade, the curve appears to be half to two-thirds of the way down the blade with a straight portion running the last ten or twenty percent to the tip. If I understand the theory of backward-curving blades, the value of the curve is to have the blade hitting the opponent at only one spot because the curvature of the blade draws the blade away from the opponent except at that point of contact. The result is that all of the force is concentrated at one point and gives maximum depth of slice. If putting that curvature at the end of the blade is too difficult, a straight blade would be a better choice. In some ways, a straight blade might look better with this hand-forged look anyway. A straight blade would give this short sword a little more length for no more use of steel. A forward-curving blade would need to have a deeper belly in order to produce that heavy chopping power that we associate with kukris or falcatas. Maybe that look wouldn't work. If the maker decided to add a hand guard, a perpendicular "nail" for thumb protection like we see on some of the German messers would look cool as well. I could see where turning this whole thing into an "apocalyptic messer" might work very well. I'm guessing that this sword was supposed to sell in the thirty or forty dollar range as it is. By the time someone made all of these changes, the sword would probably need to sell in the hundred to one-hundred-fifty dollar range or higher. Making and fitting a hand guard would add quite a bit of labor, particularly a fancier hand guard with a thumb protector. Reworking the tang to accept good grip panels would add a little bit of cost. Making and fitting the grips would add quite a bit of cost. Even so, that short sword with a straight blade or just a slight backwards curve at the end would look better and should be much, much more functional.

[@Karatemart]

I completely agree! I love the way your mind works!

[@greenevegiebeast]

I agree on the hand forged sword. It needs work. Stupid question. Isn't one of the benefits of the knuckle duster is added weight to a punch. Much like holding a roll of quarters when you punch. Added mass!

[@justachievements1974]

When it comes to knuckle dusters it adds Mass to your punch, but also the impact of being hit by whatever is coming off the knuckle dusters like spikes or anything else!

[@toddsafi5052]

True, yes. Many people appreciate the first load aspect. Some people though, like them light, because it doesn't alter the speed and timing of their strikes.
