The Eafengrow EF152// Practical Application & Self Defense

[@roadking681]

That is exactly my kind of knife! Well there goes my pocketbook again, because I'm going to have to have that one.

[@treadway.]

I was just looking at this on Amazon yesterday. It's in my list

[@fgallogallo7]

I carried the TDI knife for years. I called it my get off me knife I guess piercing and slashing whatever I had to do to stop one from getting my firearm another great review.

[@shaynehawkins713]

I used too do a lot of knife sparring. Of coarse I like the reverse grip. It's more close quarters combat compared too point forward.

[@Aichmomania]

That sure resembles a Compliance Edge DCK-R ⚔️

[@jujubeans2002]

I ordered it and waited 2 months for it on amazon its my only ring knife. in the middle about the ring .... but easy to find the ring and draw in a hurry . good video on tactics .

[@mortykatz8818]

The blade looks good. I do my best to avoid these situations- it looks like it will do the job

[@KVUSA77]

I figured slashing/slicing attacks would be focused on extremities like forearms and quadriceps - potentially keeping better standoff distance and ability to egress. Thrusting/piercing would be more effective during an aggressive offensive attack or rolling around grappling defensively.

Your martial arts background is very apparent when I listen to you lol smile smiley face

With a serrated blade you can cut 3 times deeper with or without clothes- lynn Thompson Voyager vaquero serrated xl edc.

Thanks for the video. I'm not a ring fan. I'm paranoid about having a finger caught in a ring. I also think that putting a finger through a ring is a fine muscle motion that I'm not going to do well in a self-defense situation. Otherwise, that's a nice-looking knife. The blade is long enough to go through thicker clothing in a winter situation. I understand your point about how slicing just isn't as practical when the attacker is wearing thick clothes. Of all the knives you've shown, the one that I've come closest to getting is the Kabar TDI, but I can see where that one would be at a disadvantage for winter use against attackers wearing thick clothes. What is the point of the sawback or whatever those notches on the back of the blade are? They seem too deep for regular jimping. I would worry that they might catch on something as I was trying to pull a knife from my attacker's body after a stab. One advantage to using the technique that you advocate is that pulling the blade back while the sharp edge leads will prevent those notches from catching on anything. This knife looks nice, but I can't really see myself getting one.

Wish they would make a non ring version, looks like a temu dck knife from compliance edge

[@michaelwaldeck7081]

I have this knife and even though it is set up for tactical it can be used for slicing tasks. I have a hulticlip on it to ride in the pocket and the ring is helpful to draw it from the pocket. I find the ring comfortable enough in the grip and it does give you added options, although I noticed that you didn’t use it in any of your grips. Is there a tactical reason not to use a grip with a finger in the ring? I find the steel to be a mediocre performer heading towards poor. The Flissa D2 out performs it on cutting retention tests and I was hoping for more from Eafengrow. What is really compelling about this knife though is the price for the value and I think it is hard to beat. Your review was more about how to use a knife rather than what the knife was like.

[@JCOwens-zq6fd]

Its a good cut & thrust knife imo but your right the thrust would be more effective with that particular blade & I do hate those rings. Though I must I only really like the ice pick grip once things go to grappling. Otherwise I prefer the range of a saber or handshake grip. Also makes it easier to snipe at the opponents wrist which in my experience can help keep one from having to "end" the aggressor. (I did get nicked a couple times b4 hand but the cut to the wrist made him drop it)

[@AdamAnderson-y2q]

Im not sure we can carry anything legally in uk

[@URBANGALLERY.PHOTOGRAPHY]

This one is also really good for scraping Parmesan Cheese onto Caesar Salad.

[@adquinta]

Yes, and for cutting paper!

[@longrider42]

I do not like piercing attacks, you have to get to close. So for me, it is a slashing attack. Soon as your enemy starts to bleed. He may back off. If you slash a major artery, that's game over. The other problem with a piercing attack, is your knife might get stuck.

[@411Outdoors]

A favor both method depending on the situation. Slashing is definitely a timer game. They won’t be able to go, but so far once something major has been cut.

[@longrider42]

@@411Outdoors Plus, my favorite Self Defense knife, is the Rajah 2 XL, since it has a six inch blade, and fits in the pocket. I could stab with it. But its a hack and slash knife. If I pulled it, in self defense, its possible the other guy might think twice.

[@longrider42]

@ Plus, I already have the EF 125, it is a legitimately good knife, and would also work in the Ice pick grip.

[@TimDavis-wc7rc]

What are your thoughts on an 8 inch ice pick.

[@411Outdoors]

I really like ice pics and I’m drawn to them and I guess the reason why I don’t carry them is because they only really have one purpose. I always like the ability to cut as well. If I needed to carry something non-metallic I would carry the cold steel delta dart.

[@TimDavis-wc7rc]

@411Outdoors i have two of them already. I carry one on me most of the time. Thanks for the advice.

[@54WMD]

@@411Outdoors you share information I've never really thought about. I'm curious why the ring on the end's purpose? Seems kinda awkward.

[@brockshen]

Not a fan of the reverse grip, but that looks like a devastating technique. For multiple attackers you wanna get your stuff back fast. Nice knife.

[@EdBeaudry]

Interesting knife. I agree with you the ring doesn't work the best. I think to be able to easily quickly shift a knife to my other hand is important. I don't see this knife as easily conducent for that. Right handed street thugs are at a disadvantage facing a left handed knife fighter, thugs typically not trained how to counter the offhand. If you're State stops,you to a 4" inch poker, for a knife, so be it.

[@paulstoyek381]

Good ol' Rory..Your showing your age dude. 😆😆

[@411Outdoors]

I read it late haha

That's a nasty looking toy. Puts me in mind of a TKell. Oh, "toy" as in, "fun thing to play with",
