For y’all straight ppl, you don’t gotta worry. A large majority of women (non-trans) can get off without penetration if you use just rub their clot the right way. It’s a little bean like thing near the side toward their belly. And also, around 5 inches is where it’s typically starting to be big enough to be uncomfortable from well a size too big to fit kinda like trying to use a shoe size too small. Since the tightness of a woman’s stuff doesn’t change, the only way to truly get use to it is to get used to the pain or simply like it.

My opinion, a true "fighting knife" must be double edged. In a combat situation, slashing effectively is a critical tactic, not having to reverse your edge in order to cut or slash is a big advantage over single edge. You slash your way into stabbing your opponent. TOPs makes quality double edge fighters.

Long enough to go from front or back piercing several organs and the aorta and vena cava. Excellent slashing and chopping with adequate weight. It will take an arm off. And do camp chores making feather sticks, chopping branches, batoning to split firewood, and cutting meat for cooking. Also have a double edged boot and belt knife from Slysteel. The grip panels can be removed for a thinner, skeletal design and carry in a boot. Very sharp mainly for stabbing. Just a nasty last ditch stabber to puncture the assailant.

I say that 11 dollar knife is the best, because after you use your knife It's probably best to disassociate yourself with your knife. It's easy to part with an 11 dollar knife. Someone is more likely to hold onto a knife that's in the 150 dollar range. One of the best strategies with a knife is to make your opponent think you wont fight or you're not a threat and then draw them in close. If a knife is your weapon then you need to study human anatomy. Bones offer a lot of resistance to knife attack. everything you want to know about knife combat has been studied and perfected hundreds of years ago. There's nothing new. study and practice the old techniques and you won't go wrong. Don't get into the mindset you need a big knife to be effective. The grave yards are full of people killed with a 2 inch bade or less. A box cutter only has about 1/2 inch blade exposed and can rip you to pieces.The blade you dont see is the one that kills you. You're not going to be jumping around with knife like a pair of homo's in west side story. Real life is different. Once someone sees their clothes soaked with blood, even if the wounds aren't fatal they will probably go into shock. Once someone goes into shock, they are on their way to hell. The fight is over.

9 inches to the stomach, just below the zyphiod process= instantaneous loss of consciousness. & about 3" till death. (If I remember correctly, it's been along time since I looked at the old Timetable of Death) but the reason so much penetration depth is needed there is because you are passing through the stomach and stabbing into the 3 arteries that branch off kinda in a cluster from the abdominal aorta.

I don't know much about knife fighting. But for years I was not a fan of tanto knives. I thought they looked too ninja mall-ish! I collected a lot of outdoor knives, mostly Coldsteel due to great quality, toughness, great designs, and price. I have a few fallknivens and BRKs but CSteels are my favorite. About 4 years ago I purchased a Recon Tanto SK5 because my SRKs were in my safe a thousand miles away because I had just moved. I wanted something a little different than the SRK and wanted something cheap because I was doing a e months trip camping, fishing, and hiking from Florida to Maine. Well, the Recon is a better outdoors knife than the SRK! Being a little longer it swings more efficiently, ir is a better batoning knife, with the full squared spine it is a much better tool for scraping fatwood or cedar bark for a tinder bundle! This is a wonderful knife for chopping (side limbs of a branch for a walking stick or similar uses), it is great for preparing dry center wood for fire starting, and great for trailblazing clearing a path. The Recon easy to sharpen and maintain. I now also have the VG10 version and wish they still made the 3V.

Sure, but if the other guy has a knife longer then yours... I have been collecting knives since the mid 80's, and a retired Marine taught me some tricks of the trade. So I prefer a "Fighting" knife to have at least a 7.5 inch blade. I recently purchased the Cold Steel Espada XL with G10 scales. It has a 7.5 inch blade, and its a folder with the Cold Steel Triad lock, and it does fit in my pocket. My absolute favorite "Fighting" knife is my Cold Steel 1917 Frontier Bowie. It has a 12 inch blade and a great guard. It is heavy, but that means it hits harder. All I have to do is guide it to where I want it to land. I also have a Military Khukuri with a 10 inch blade, and it was made for combat. No guard but it has shock and awe power. I had a person pull a knife on me once. But I had a 6 foot long hiking staff and I beat the snots out of him. Its all about Reach.

If it's a fighting knife, it's a killing knife and chances are you use it once and it likely becomes evidence so may as well get a well built cheap steel fixed blade. Not hard to build a single piece of steel with a kraton over mold. You don't want to spend money because you may want to get rid of it. As long as it can get sharp you don't need good steel because it doesn't require edge holding. Hell, get a machete. They have proven themselves in many theatre's overseas as a weapon, cheap sharp and can lop off limbs. The extra length it a bonus although it's mostly limited to slashing attacks. For a self defense knife, not a fighting knife, get something you will actually carry because almost no one is going to carry a 6"fixed blade. The Kabar? Got one and damn that's a mean looking blade. Some psycho used one to kill 4 college kids in 10 minutes. So, yeah, it works.

They promote 1.9" blades for defence...? and the context of their videos suggests they are aimed at novices!?? Some are even claiming to choose blade designs to 'mame', not nutralise. I was told one should never pull a knife to scare people. As the old Knight saying goes, don't pull it if you aren't intening to use it. My choice, if I could only have one for everything..along the lines of defence, strength, even some survival, is the Glock FM78, and believe me my blades have ran into the multiple thousands of dollars. It is a mere 7 ounces. What you get for that is sobering and unprecendented... 6.5" blade that can bend 48 degrees and return dead true, a full handle grip (often overlooked - all good fighting knives have them, a 4.7-5" overall handle); and a knife as strong or stronger than a Fallkniven A1! That is incredible for a military combat knife produced in 1978!!! (but it did have one update: a higher grind, which reduced weightand improved slicing). Money when it comes to knives is NOT all that it seems! Neither is the prestige of the manufacturer. It most oftentimes nothing. Good knives are hard to find. Some say the Glock is too narrow. That wider blades mean quicker nutralisation. If you look to history and even most dedicated fighting knives (e.g. daggers), it is wide enough. Nutnfancy argued one needs a wider blade for slashing and weight. Again the glock is weighty and wide enough - Lyn Thompson proved this. I would also argue, based on historical fact, slashing should not be your focus - this is T.V. drama. After your first few (superficial) slashes adrehanline takes over. You wont notice them - this is not good Reason: tendon damage. At this point it will become up close and personal. Then 2 things will count and little else: penetration and speed. Glock FM78 has this covered more than most. Sure and depending on opponent skill there may be some slashing, but avoid it if you want use of your arms and hands again afterwards. In conclusion the goal is to nutralise, not slash. But the best thing about Glock FM78 is its legal in most countries, and is an excellent, genuine hard use, versatile knife that you will actually carry! And it gives added last resort reassurance in case of close quartre coyote, wolf or bear attacks.

That Cold Steel knife is not a good fighting knife. Your hand might slip forward and over the blade. Unless you like permanently curled fingers.

I agree and at least two other here said same. Although Navy Seals were issue the Cold Steel SK5, which had a similar handle, at the least the bottom guard was generous in length. Personally and for said purposed knife, I would want a double guard.

If you have never had to use a knife in a combat situation you should not be making KZitem videos. Its just that simple. Your $17 dollar knife will fail you when you need it the most. It takes a ton of effort to get a knife blade into a rib cage, then it takes even more to get it back out.

The Tanto, like the Saex/Wharncliffe/etc. and other similar "pointy single edge blades" is like running a California legal AR to skirt around Cali gun laws. As a fighting knife the dagger is superiors and is proven over thousands of years of real combat, from Rome to medieval Europe to America, but it is regulated hard. The Bowie as well which is more or less a short falchion. Of course the 2A Lobby doesn't care about arms beyond range toys for man-children to post on Instagram so it will prob stay that way. But most of the aspects that make a good fighting knife, like a dagger, dirk, or Bowie are illegal. The Tanto is basically a half-dagger with mall cop aesthetics but it doesn't face the same regulations that a bowie or a dagger would face.

There's a lot of confusion as to what is a "combat/fighting knife" vs a "Survival" knife. Just because the knife has a fixed blade doesn't make it a "combat knife" . A fixed short blade knife you can put on your hip. The only "fighting knife" you have there was the Fairborn used by the English and made for killing (not survival...in the woods where you'll need a knife to break down branches or bark to make a fire)... Also many don't understand that a straight blade is for "stabbing". "Slashing" a curved blade. Logical. And not that I've ever been in (or hope to ever) a knife fight...I'd think a "fighting" knife designed for stabbing would be more effective in close quarters battle being that knife fights are not like in the movies where you have 2 guys standing square facing each other starting off 10 feet apart. I"m told that in a real knife attack the attacker (s) would likely have the jump as their goal was to mug or kill the victim. The victim would usually be distracted by everyday life e.g. TXTing. The attack would be on before he or she has time to react. Slashing movements leave you open. If you think about it...

I somewhat agree. Slashing is the last thing you should want to engage in, unless after and if you win, you never want to use your hands or arms again. I think they are talking about a potential face off between two knife opponents, where slashing is likely as the knife is your 'shield' but the goal is to penetrate. Penetration nutralizes. Slashing pisses of and exposes your style, imo. And I agree most fighting knives are dead straight for this reason.
