Self Defense or EDC? | Spyderco Yojimbo 2

[@taz4635]

This a beautiful knife. Idk why people don’t like this design

[@arthursoto4285]

It’s grown on me

[@wahwah3064]

What's the music in background?

[@unknownunknown3025]

I love my Para 3 but have been looking at the yojimbo for about a year now. Just ordered one this week. Pretty excited to finally get one.

[@kaiseda100]

cause its ugly

[@HappyMealDeal]

It is a damn good knife and have been carrying it for the last 10 years… Great blade & good for all around use…

[@davidkay1386]

For me, this is the year of Spyderco. There are so many coming out this year that I love.

[@Grant_Gold]

Finally, a dedicated video on the Yojimbo

[@Knight_of_the_Old_Code]

I've had my Yojimbo 2 for several years. Love the fact the Wharncliffe blade can be a utilitarian blade but a nasty self-defense blade also...especially from a legal standpoint.

[@TheGunDude]

One of my favorite knives of all time. I love the blade design

[@RetiredTop43]

Spyderco makes great knives. I have several. Great craftsmanship.

[@ironrangerw6r1]

It's awesome how most start with the Tenacious then they get hooked definitely getting bitten by the bug

[@Chagsis]

Arggg, everything in life lately has been reminding me of my stolen Yo2 :(. The knife that ended my knife habit...it was the answer.

[@powerplay4real174]

That's a monster box cutter and a martial beast. The Yojimbo 2

[@OnlyGamingClips]

I just got one for my bday and it's now my fav Spyderco. I always carry a full size knife and a small knife, so I either carry my Spydie CruCarta PM2 with my Chaves TAK, or I carry my Yojimbo 2 and a MKM Voxnaes in M390

[@Cristopher1976]

I hate that colonel blades went out of business. The clinch pick is another solid choice as well. Good stuff brotha

[@RV-tm1zr]

Just got mine today. And I love it 👌🏽

[@shiftpinoy]

You are the reason why I got this knife a while back!! So in love with this knife.

[@sethrad8626]

I started with a Spyderco Shaman. Was a bit small for my hand. Eventually switched to a Yojumbo, the larger version of the Yojimbo2. It’s the only knife a carry for CCW. I train with a Yojimbo2 trainer. Also important, and you didn’t discuss is the shape and purpose of the heel of the handle. It makes for a heck of a mean hammerfist!

[@TheJourneyYoutube]

This one's been on my wishlist for a while now... May have just tipped the scales.

[@MrLamont1975]

I have been carrying this blade for EDC going on 2 years now. It is a great blade. The blade designer Michael Janich is a great knife trainer. Watching his training videos is how I learned about this knife. Anyone into knifes and plan on using a knife for a self defense option, check out Michael Janich. He is the real deal.

[@TruckinDipper]

Love the yojimbo 2 one of my grail knives that I want to acquire one day

[@felurianmasters4369]

Useful video, good presentation, proper edits for entertainment. Thanks

[@The408Represent]

Yojimbo or 用心棒 is an old Japanese term meaning a bodyguard. So the name really fits the style.

[@farm7379]

funny that yojimbo 2 is being made in golden factory

[@granthoward3296]

Been seeing this knife since the beginning, glad to see it's own dedicated video.

[@yankeesaugust]

Bought one last week after having it on my amazon wishlist for a long time. Wish I had purchased it sooner because it’s awesome

[@colliningalls3558]

Makes me miss my yojimbo. Such a cool knife, crazy ergos

[@TeamDeafmatch]

I’ve got the black edition today !

[@LimeTimeHD]

Dude thank you, you just put this knife on my radar and its not $300. Looks awesome I'd actually pick this up as im in the market for a new edc blade.

[@The4cp]

I really wish wise men would make a ring for this like they did for the PM2 Delica and Endura. This is the perfect knife for it and a wave feature.

[@jakejohnston3004]

The4cp Check out 5x5 Combat Solutions, they make a wave attachment for the Yojimbo 2 that looks great.

[@ShoeMonsterEDC]

Nice! Definitely a self defense knife. Thanks for the video!

[@cjknorr1344]

have carried this bad boy all day everyday for almost a year now. Awesome stuff as always Talon!

[@loriss3993]

cj knorr the straight edge isn’t a problem to cut vegetable or eat with this knife ?

[@maradona8623]

I don’t know why but I always come to your videos . I don’t know if it’s your camera or video quality or both lol. Your pics make every knife I’m interested in look 🎉amazing . Great job , you keep my wallet empty, I buy a lot of the stuff you review.

[@user-nd1ku3qi7e]

If you like the colonel knife, the closest model from Spyderco would be the introvert. It’s also discontinued but still available from blades Canada. Cheers

[@jimmcole2613]

First of all, I not only do I love this channel. I love the life style. I have gotten a ton of information ; and avoided a lot of mistakes things too you. Subscribed for good . Yojimmbo || is cool; but if possible, can you find out when the paramilitary || talon blade is coming out. Any help you give is appreciated Talon! JIMM

[@robertfranks9098]

Love my Yojimbo! Keep the vids coming loving it!

[@philrizzuti5790]

Love my Yojimbo... wish I carried it more but, it takes up a lot of room in the pocket. As far as performance, it’s hard to beat the piercing and slicing capabilities. This things straight CUTS!

[@tonyhoodlass1846]

Just got my Yojimbo 2 with satin blade, really pleased with it

[@LifeSafeTraining]

Thanks for the shout out brother. Be safe

[@Tiger24kicks]

Recently I have away my collection to a friend who lost all his knives in a fire. Today I picked up a Spyderco tenacious this will be my 2nd knife then the Para Military 2.

[@igorg.8624]

Do you like Yojimbo 2 better than Para Military 2?

[@williamtawiah908]

Even with all the bad shit crazy things that are going on these videos I’ll give me a large sense of comfort thanks brother 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟🏾

[@jonguitarman2003]

Great video man! I’m surprised you don’t have the all black Yojimbo 2 they came out with recently.

[@clydemoreno7330]

Probably my favorite knife ever.

[@ryonwright7181]

Love the channel T. Keep up the great work 👌

[@TalonSei]

Thank you Ryon 👍🏻

[@jeremysego752]

You knife guys and gals that are on the fence about buying a Yojimbo I highly recommend the knife junkies podcast he interviews Micheal Janich and he talks about making this knife.Its incredible I think I would rather get shot than go up against a yojimbo

[@owenk.4071]

I need an all black one. Thanks for the review!

[@tonyhoodlass1846]

Great review from someone who knows martial arts thanks talon sei

[@alejandromaldonado3262]

Just picked one up and i love it, i got the all black version though.

[@HonoluluTita]

I carry a Colonel fixed blade knife. I’m an elderly lady with little knife training.

[@Smallbore2wheels]

Those spydeco knives are so bad ass. Also 🏴‍☠️ 🤙🏼

[@thomastammaro693]

Geeze.. Great video , and great knife. I grabbed a CB nco and trainer a ways back. Intuitive, fast ,and effective. Solid instructional videos too. Good luck. I don't think you can find them.

[@krugmonster47]

Im definitely going to get this love spyderco i have the Spyderco Endura 4 for my edc great review

[@jakehansen3418]

The provoke is awrsome I wish it wasn't so expensive though. And as far as a hawk bill only being for self defence i thought that too but they're amayzing for cutting box's or anything that isn't super deep the blade eats whateveer the tip brings to the belly with ease.

[@raidwolf4088]

The spiritual successor to the Blackhawk Be Wharned (also designed by Janich).

[@dolf3288]

I have one and I really like it however after edc ing the para I wish the yojimbo had a larger hole like the para as I have big fingers. Otherwise beautiful knife

[@Agent-vj3ns]

Have you tried the fixed blade version by Spyderco? I just got one. The Ronin 2

[@massimobargagna5641]

Love that vojimbo 1st Spyderco in my collection blade hq has a black out version if you like it try the Robbin fix blade version

[@Dragon-yw4xw]

Basically for self defense, I would choose cold steel knives, especially those with 5 inch or longer blade. Small blade is only good for edc and open packages.

[@Dragon-yw4xw]

B4 freedomfighter it’s called user experience alright.

[@brisonpalmer6730]

Love the Yojimbo

[@bibigreen6533]

I'd get the Canis before the Yojimbo. But they're probably equally effective. I do like my EDC to be alright at food prep though, which is the reason I haven't bought it.

[@tonyhoodlass1846]

It's a great knife were the handle can be used as a kuboton, I've just sent for a black one, not expensive for a Colorado knife

[@erikramaekers63]

You don't need a big knife for self defense.The most important thing is knowing where to cut.

[@davidlocke1668]

Have both

[@tylerk158]

I love my yo 2 I carry it ALOT but it still doesn’t replace my para 3 😉

[@zchburke]

It's my EDC for sure!

[@Jaysedc]

I'm thinking very serious about getting a DLC yojimbo

[@ironrangerw6r1]

I've had a yojimbo from a while now and they would be great for both. The wharncleiff blade design is excellent useful

[@brettmillard1338]

I don't know why, but the Yojimbo 2 is my favorite blade to carry. I have the Blade HQ sprint run with the black coated M4 blade and natural G-10 scales......unfortunately I snapped the tip off on a soft piece of F!@#$%^ plastic of all things.

[@ArkansasPublicHunts]

So glad to still see ads on your videos. Lets hope it stays that way.

[@tenzin044]

Nice review and nice knife. Just I'm afraid he could open in my pocket and when I slide my hand to take him...What do you think? Greetings, Tom.

[@zerofivetwelve]

I really want this color combination but sadly not available in my local store. So sad. They only have 20cv black and tan which i dont like.

[@brianlash154]

I believe wharncliffe shape blades are much more able to make deeper cuts as you're able to push down harder than with other shapes

[@vladimirkovacevic1656]

I know it's meant to be lite but i would love to have steel liners

[@misterbaker9728]

The yojimbo was my first over 100$. I love the wharnie. I have a wharnie Hinderer halftrack. And Emerson Seax!!! Check it out it’s one of my favorite. You would love it like me

[@videocreations27]

love my Yojimbo

[@ClevelandTabla]

I have other compression locks, but this one is pinching me every time I open it. Am I doing something wrong?

[@Sheepleton]

They're known for pinching unfortunately.

[@daveplatt3934]

Ya might want to look around for a Kershaw Needs Work, it's a very similar knife except it's an assisted flipper. I don't think the blade steel holds it's edge quite as well but it feels great to hold and deploys like a beast.

[@seandwyer4061]

THUMB MEAT is now the name of my polka band. Thanks my friend.

[@ethanshaw5063]

Bhq bumped up the price 10% a few months ago. same goes for some popular benchmades and other spydercos

[@MoosesGearGooReview]

really cool knife. I love the look and profile of this knife. I haven't handled this knife yet in person, but I wonder if it is too wide for a convenient EDC blade. I would think it takes up a lot of space in the pocket? What do you think about how much space it takes up in pocket? thanks man

[@TalonSei]

It definitely takes or more than most because of the shape but it’s not enough that I haven’t carried the knife because of it.

[@MoosesGearGooReview]

I'm not really into tactical selfdefence blades so much, and I prefer a slimmer profile edc. Right now my main edc is the mini Bugout. I would love to know what are some options for slim EDC selfdefence blades? Something within and 1 ½ inches of width.

[@Mridgwell]

Hey Talon really enjoying the knife videos . Ever look into Lynch clips ?

[@TalonSei]

I have one on my para 3. He makes cool stuff

[@Mridgwell]

Yes he does his customer service is excellent as well

[@philclodfelter5994]

If you don’t have the Spyderco Canis you need to add it to the collection

[@courtneyschilling3919]

keep up the good work. I love the yojimb-2. can you redo para-3.

[@elusivellama]

Nice blade, but I still love my Paramilitary 2 (same spec as yours, aka. standard polished S30V with G10).

[@nermanerr]

I need a Yojimbo in my life.

[@maradona8623]

Me too , I’m ordering now!! Badass blade

[@BBartelotti]

Spyderco Canis should be your next Spidy!

[@unimatrix82]

Bro if you like the Yojimbo wait a few more months the 4 inch Yojumbo will be out ! I already pre-ordered mine.

[@jackeddemon]

I have the CF yojombo version. It’s been my edc ever since it came out. Amazing knife. Deep carry clip is my only mod

[@melvinphinisee9406]

Thankyou! Love my Yo2. I wish Spyderco would give it the FRN “lightweight” treatment. With slightly thinner blade stock. #yoslimbo They have kept the Yo2 around for a reason, they might as well give us some variations

[@gchan8855]

The Yojimbo!

[@king_blades]

Can you do a video on the benchmade 87 balisong

[@codyflood6995]

I second this.

[@tomasandel3795]

how to sharp this knife not to round the tip?

[@sublyme2157]

If I had to carry a blade for self defense, it would be a sword. But as an EDC, this may fit the bill :)

[@leonb.9855]

This knife looks so weird that it looks kind of beautiful😂😂😂

[@wahwah3064]

What's the music in background?

[@mattarchey4436]

Why did you put quotation gestures while you said “expensive”? For all of us who actually work for a living, $170 for a pm2 is expensive

[@igorg.8624]

Would you recommend the Yojimbo 2 over the CRKT Provoke for self defense carry?

[@mikethorne2835]

Check out Scott Babb Libre knife fighting

[@johndiaz466]

Dude. When closing the blade with the compression lock does any part of the blade touch or hit your pointer finger

[@ericthorpe5670]

Yeah, if you're closing it improperly.

[@bwxbwx6453]

There is actually no way you can carry this knife legally in the UK if the police look into it and see it's a self defence knife shame too

[@TiberiousGib]

"push your thumb meat" :) Great video brother!

[@bladeandcloak666]

He said this as I read your comment lol

[@cjohns92]

I posted my after the first one and they were the same

[@CarlosCruz-cu1km]

Love this knife, and has replaced my samurai sword, and actually have visited earth.

[@jakehansen3418]

Also why do knife people like g10 so much? Never had a g 10 handle not smooth out after a few months of edc micarta is super nice though.

[@videotubenova]

yojimbo 2 or ronin 2 ?

[@amekrowland9852]

Yojimbo or Manix 2 ?

[@brianlash154]

Tip strength ? It's a bit iffy looking to me

[@garrettkittel304]

knives aren't for prying; I have used this blade daily for years as utility. the only way the tip is iffy is improper use of this style knife.
