Totally agree, the release button on that Hinderer is a no go for this type of knife. Need to be able to rip and go with either hand in a fight for your life. I'm going to get that Kabar TDI 1482 I think.

The Hinderance was popular for YEARS. VZ even made g10 scales for them and there's still after market sheaths available. Too bad it's been discontinued for 2 years now. I just bought another one on Ebay for $70 a few days ago tho.

The Wharncliffe/Hinderance/2485 was always more popular than the Tanto version (2486) which is still available.. but the Wharncliffe is better.

I was always a big fan in the service I always carried a Karambit on either hip horizontal finger Loop Palmer pointed forward for very fast and efficient deployment and in certain situations it's always nice to have the equivalent of raptor talons

Awesome collection. For the Safekeeper IIs and IIIs sheaths; I installed zip ties through the eyelets and looped it to the edc belt. It's keeps the sheath from coming out with the blade when the push knife is drawn for self-defense

I just purchased that Colonel knife online. Looking forward to checking that out myself. And before I bought that I was considering the TDI. I also like that Tops knife. I think the look of that thing alone would scare anyone running up on you lol
@voidofbeeswax11 ай бұрын
I just thread my belt through the TDI clip instead of trying to use it as a clip. And if you look on the inside of the bottom of the clip there is a small piece that sticks out that catches my belt when I pull up on the knife.

Sweet collection, I live these videos! TOPS makes a lot of cool little self-defense knives, I got my brother the Cockpit Commander and he digs it. I think the divot in the handle is to pinch with your thumb and finger when reorienting the blade.

Why on earth would Tops make the Cockpit Commander sheath like that? Like you said there's almost nothing to grab. Weird.
@hardtrooth1776 Жыл бұрын
My preference in a self defence is the push dagger T design its ambidextrous and a no fail draw Cold steel all the way on that the only con is the belt clip comes off by itself so i remove it and use the holes in sheath to 275 paracod it to the belt properly tying it and add an overhand knot melting the ends together. I dont know if all their sheaths have holes on the sides if not you can get a custom sheath. but this t knife as you call it will do the trick. It is like punching a target and can be angled just right.

Believe I see a Cockpit Commander, awesome Fred Perrin design and knife.... but damn that sheath looks wretched, completely covering the finger hole? Alternative exist where the finger whole is fully exposed... like the spyderco swift, or Fred Perrin's show best design... the La Griffe.

Really appreciate this review of these practical options for self defense. Guns rule of course but any of these would be a good practical choice for most us who are not knife fighters. I am sold on simple grip, good in hand re tension and a punch based fighting style (for the untrained). So for me it is a push knife (prob the CS drop forged dagger style) or a tdi (but which size?)

No, the curve is to be like a handgun for officers to lesson the learning curve. What keeps the knife in your hand is to hold it properly, which is not with your thumb on the top. To disarm a knife you bry off the thumb, you have done half the work for me. you also do not have the thumb up on a knife you are going to thrust with, heep the thumb wrapped around the handle letting the full length of the blade sink into what you are puncturing.
