4 reasons to carry a fix blade featuring the Montana Knife Company, Speedgoat. This fixie is extremely lightweight at just 1.7 ounces. It has a versatile trailing point for use in the field and comes with an attractive para cord wrapped handle. After skeletonizing the tang (steel part of the handle) to shed some weight, MKC wrapped it in 550 paracord to minimize load. The Speedgoat’s blade is also ultra-thin, measuring just 0.095” thick at the spine. It’s also 100% made in the USA and designed by a Master Bladesmith, Josh Smith.

Just use a flamethrower and napalm, you can substitute the napalm with a gasoline-diesel-polystyrene mix. So if you carry a pack of polystyrene, you can refuel at any gas station and use the air hose to repressurize either your napalm cylinder or your compressed air cylinder depending on how elaborate your flamethrower is. A dedicated air tank is heavier to carry but will last longer than if the fuel tank was pressurized. Or you could customize it and use a battery powered fuel pump with just a fuel cylinder of a gasoline and diesel mix. It wont cover the target with a thick sticky fire liquid, but the diesel will still make it flow like a fire stream from the gun. Just gasoline alone will only make a fire flame and not produce a consistent stream.

People, mainly ladies, please be careful with carrying a knife for “self defense”. You can carry one for all the other purposes she mentioned. I can almost guarantee that if you were to stab or slash your (unarmed)attacker you won’t immediately stop the threat. Now you are just standing a foot away from a pissed off bleeding attacker and now may overpower you, take your knife from you and use it on you. Carry either pepper spray or a firearm. 🤷

That's all great and well, and in a perfect world that makes perfect sense. Given the world is far from perfect, the fight just may come from out of nowhere, and when it does, you may not have any choice but to stand your ground and fight. Sure, why make yourself a target by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unfortunately, it seems all bets are off anymore, and anyone is a target of opportunity as punks and thugs have become so brazenly empowered.

Not stay in the pocket and pull out your own little poker and begin a little tit-for-tat and see who leaks out first. This fantasy self-defense stuff is dangerously bad advice. You are not Col.

Best self defense technique - pay attention to what is happening around you & know when to "cross the street." You will never lose a fight that doesn't occur. However, if it is a life or death situation (the only justifiable reason to engage in a fight) it is best to have a heavy caliber gun.

It's also important when using a blade for self defense two things. Any blade without a full or at least partial tang can sometimes snap. And a folding blade may fold in on you under pressure. You will not like this but your opponents will. Pocket knives were designed for utility and not combat. And no matter how good any knife may be, they should be used for their designed purposes if you expect consistent positive results. No one digs a ditch with a spoon unless there isn't a shovel handy nearby. Keep it up ❤ Cheers

Yeah I'm going to absolutely call bullshit on anyone's ability to reliably and consistently throw a folding knife as they're deploying it. You either have no clue how to throw knives properly or are locked squarely in the Dunning Kruger effect.

@DavidSinanan Ай бұрын

@@TheSolongsidekick bro, I never said I could do it every time! Hence trick shot. I said 'I can'. Not reliably and consistently. It's a very difficult throw. I have been throwing no flip for over 20 years though. I can reliably and consistently plant a knife on 2 inch targets at 5 feet with good penetration. I 'can' throw with rotation, but not effectively, just for fun. For the throw with deployment from closed I use a crkt m16-z with a thumb stud. And I'm throwing into cardboard. And it takes multiple tries, every time. I'm familiar with the Dunning-Kruger effect and that's not the case in this situation. I'd never consider it anything other than a trick shot with no other practical value except that it's f**king cool when you plant it!

@TheSolongsidekick Ай бұрын

@@DavidSinanan okay I'll apologize for my tone, but I don't understand or why you do it if - unless I misunderstanding - it's kind of a roll of the dice if it's going to work is it something you show off in public? I'd be too nervous about messing it up and then mess it up every time. Are you pulling from your belt and basically underhand/sidearming it? I assume you're using a knife with a thumb stud or a spine flipper? I can see how if you're opening it from the spine with your pointer fingerb you could use that to stabilize a quick throw, but with a thumb stud that would just throw a bunch of force into it along a new plane. Also, are you carrying it in your pocket?

@schmalzilla1985 8 ай бұрын

Yes and no. A firearm yes, there is more of a learning curve when it comes to aiming and firing, but the main thing is the willingness to use it to harm another individual. The stopping power at a distance you can maintain from your opponent is the most beneficial thing about them. Reach is King for any confrontation with a weapon. A knife by comparison doesn't require that much training, stab, stab, stab, slash, slash, slash. Mostly it's the willingness to actually harm another individual. Contrary to popular "self-defense specialists", it's vastly easier to out run and scream for help against someone with a knife, than to get within reach, and try to take it. That goes for you using a knife as well, you're opponent is at a huge disadvantage just because you have a knife and they don't.

It's more than that. You can have a crap fixed blade. It's about design and quality of purification of that metal. Then was it also crafted in a way that fatigue or flaws didn't take place to shorten the life of the knife. I have folding knives I've had for several years and they're still in great shape. They still work as if they are brand new. I also don't cheap out when purchasing blades. I do my research to make sure I'm not purchasing a low quality knife, fixed or otherwise.
