This. As long as people understand a boot knife isn't the immediate go-to it's perfectly viable. Just carry on the inside of your non-dominant side. I.e. right handed carries inside of left leg.

I served as an Air Force paramedic, Independent Duty Medical Technician (IDMT), for 23 years and carried a Camillus titanium all black with a 3 1/2 inch blade in my right boot just posterior to the lateral malleolus (right ankle protrusion). It was part of a two knife set and both were skeletonized. The smaller knife 1.5" blade was secured in the left boot just under the boot laces easily accessed just by lifting a strand of the lace. It was something I learned from my dad who fought in the Pacific under General MacArthur while assigned to an outfit on the island of Luzon. Carrying hidden knives saved a lot of GI lives. I do mostly overland camping nowadays and wear Merrell hiking shoes like the Moabs. I still use the small blade and hide it under the laces but under a "Dirty Girl" gaiter as well; to access it I unhook the front of the gaiter and with my index finger I can pull the knife out. Just in case you're not familiar with Dirty Girl gaiters they were invented by female backpackers for the purpose of keeping debris and insects such as ticks from entering your shoes as you hike. Mine are made of a camouflage cloth but they are available in different colors and patterns.

I've tried so many carry options, including scout carry. For a long time now I've switched to a pocket sheath in my back pocket. Once you get use to it, it's just like a wallet. Also cross draw i find really comfortable... ⚔🤙

In terms of self defense, sometimes a boot knife/ankle holster is less for immediate defense and more for having a slightly hidden knife/gun that someone could miss in your pocket or belt or pocket rather easily. Edit: also, Lugermonger carried the benchmade fact in his boot and that is one of the ones on my list to try, but folders were not referenced at all!?! I understand that generally boot knives are fixed blade knives with a very specific purpose but I carried a leek in my caterpillar work boots for a while and loved it and I think that folders could be an option too, give it a bit of thought.

Overseas in Iraq I carried the benchmade push dagger everyday as a boot knife. Could deploy it super fast.

Love the video. But to throw my two cents in on "carrying anything in your boot for self defense is impractical", I have to refer to Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch. He makes some fantastic points about ankle guns, and I think it applies to knives. Chances are, if you end up in a true physical fight, you will most likely, at some point end up on the ground. Especially if you're physically impaired or elderly. Having an ankle gun or a boot knife gives you access to a weapon more easily if your on the ground, trying to end a physical altercation and preserve your life. Its also much easier to access when sitting, especially if there's a seat belt or something of the sorts in the way of your belt or pockets.

Love blade hq but hearing Ya’ll say the boot knife is impractical, especially in le/military situations, let alone civilian self defense is a huge RED FLAG. I’m 8 years le and every fight I’ve had, sadly a lot, have all wound up on the ground to some extent. If your on your back, and the bad guy is in your guard or has you mounted and your “ohh shit moment” is full swing and you can’t get to your gun or other tools on your belt, you can usually spider a foot up to your hand and grab your boot knife. It’s a great tool to have and is often over looked. You Should always have some sort of force multiplier top, mid, and lower portion of your body in case you are pinned or unable to access the others.

A buddy of mine started making railroad spike knives in his free time, and one year for Christmas I got one as a gift. Well with a bit of time and effort I made a leather sheath for it and it goes everywhere with me. You’re absolutely right, it’s an under appreciated way of carrying an extra blade but it sure is cool knowing you have a hunk of steel with you if ever you should need it

I rarely carry a boot knife, but my favorite was the old Kershaw 4351 Military. Made in Germany, drop-forged 1.4116 steel, micarta handle and a leather sheath. I do have to say the retention strap being leather has loosened up over the (many) years, but it still does the job.

When it comes to concealment, retention is everything. I had a friend rip his Carhartt belt off in the middle of getting jumped. Under duress you just want to be able to yank that blade out. Pushing and pulling falls under covert op situation.

I've carried a Schrade that's a smaller version of that smith and wesson in my Carolina logger boots for years. They're great and cheap. I wear it at the 5 o clock position on the inside of my left boot.

One of your best vids, and a great topic! I carried a boot knife every day on patrol with my local Sheriff's Dept. It was a last ditch defensive weapon, and also worked great for tagging deer ears. I had to dig it out to refresh my memory of what it was. It is a 5" double-sided saber ground blade with some type of a coarse coated steel handle. The only markings are on one side of the ricasso and it says Taylor Cutlery Taiwan.

I was the PoPo for 25 years and I always carried a boot knife. I even started a trend by carrying a folder in my Motor Boots. ( knee high motorcycle boots) Loved this video...

I recently picked up the TOPS Bootlegger and it's superb. It's a bit large to clip into a boot unless you're running full-height cowboy boots, but you can also use an elastic or velcro strap around the calf. Either way, it's a stellar blade.

Boots all the time. Hikers daily, Cowboy for dress. My old combat boots for hard work when I could still do that. (Medical issues + cane= don't move the heavy stuff.) Back as a teen I carried a Mora as a boot knife in my high top sneakers. Crew socks folded over the top of the plastic and ran my shoelace around to hold the sheath in place. Seems like that was forever ago, but it hasn't been a full 3 decades. In the service I carried various boot knives with the CS Culloden (about a 5" blade) and Gerber Guardian as faves. (Carried Gerber handle down on outside of boot. Easier to get to.) Now will occasionally run a push dagger in my hiking boots, but it is rare. Enjoying you videos from Deep in the heart of Texas.

I carried a Gerber Dagger boot knife on a pair of zippered jump boots. No problems. Loved it.

My understanding of a boot knife for self defense has always been a backup for if you end up on the ground where it would then become more accessible.

Thank you for doing this first and foremost. I have been thinking of boot knives and stumbled on this video on your site. I appreciate that you carried them and with different styles of boots. The biggest difference for me is you were wearing 6" moc toe. I also wear a moc toe, mine are 8" however which has led to looking to the buck, because of the sheath that you mentioned and also that little SOG. in any case thanks for the honest review and honest answers it helps alot.

@@casecutlerykid2095 The Schrade company that made good knives in the US is COMPLETELY gone. They closed in 2004 and the NAME was bought by a larger company. They didn't buy any of the factories or hire any of the people that actually cared, they only got a brand to stamp onto their knives that they exclusive make in China. Whatever good feelings or nostalgia you have for Schrade (or Old Timer, Imperial, or Uncle Henry) are utterly irrelevant to the current company because everything that made Schrade good died over a decade ago.

When I lived in Texas, I had a Gerber boot knife. Loved that knife.

Could you use the wave to open it

Dude I 150% agree that S&W is BADASS!!

Not sure if you guys at blade HQ know this about the sog Instinct but I started carrying that as a boot knife like 5 years ago. It can be worn as a boot knife but if you get an Allen wrench, there’s a hole in the clip, If loosen the bolt a lil and turn the clip on its side you can then tighten it and the knife can be worn on your belt kinda as a tactical fighting slide out knife. Either on your lower back or your front.

I like my boots and I like my knives but I have never carried a boot knife. I enjoyed hearing about your experience and the variety of knives you reported on. Thank you.

I wear boots every day because my daily driver is a Ninja 1000. After trying a lot that I wore out in a year (the motorcycle gear ones usually have very soft soles and I'm more of an all-day wear person) I found a pair of RedWing Engineer boots 6 years ago; had them re-soled last August. I grew-up in various work boots all summer due to being a dairy farm kid so I was out running diesel tractors to mow or bale hay.

Love the Cold Steel Counter Tac 2. This knife is indestructible and a great value.

Boots everyday. Tactical Work & Cowboy. Carried the Ferber river shorty as a boot knife years ago. Haven’t had a boot knife idea in a long time. If I had to right now pick from my collection I would boot carry my Spyderco Tenacious either I’m the boot or my Bug Bite Ankle holster. That holster is the best ankle option I have ever found for an ankle gun or knife.

i wear boots all the time, at work and at home, summer, fall, winter and spring. Boots rock!

Great video keep up the good work. As a young teenager i also carried a little pocket knife tucked in my boot as a backup and the few people that knew about it thought it was cool. It was a wildlife office knife which the blade was 3 inches, cost 15$ on Amazon and the boots i wore were timberlands. I just thought that if i was ever kidnapped or something especially cause i walked around everywhere as a teen i had a backup knife hidden in my boot to use as in emergency. A few years ago i bought the same Kershaw agent boot knife in this video and i love it. It has a clip on it so i clip it to the side of my boots on the outside it's really comfortable and the boots i wear are CQR boots great brand and indeed boots do be more expensive than a knife.

Nice boots Broke Back, loving the Stars and Stripes!!!

I wear western, work, and motorcycle riding boots. Do have a couple boot knives but always carried a Schrade lock back on my belt. I do have a few neck knives that are also very handy. Boot knife is a Western, dagger with leather sheath and a strong clip. Never carried it much but have had it for around 40 years.

I’d love to have a boots knife!!!! I just need to wear some lace-up boots on the reg lol! My opinion is that boots knives are primarily tactical, anything else can be worn on the hip or pocket. Another great video guys! I just finished binge watching your 1hr 30min live video lol!

The Sog instinct mini is definitely more than a boot knife, comes with the chain for a neck knife and the clip is adjustable for belt and pocket carry. Definitely a sweet little fixed blade to reasonably edc.

First, love you guys. Totally agree that my boots cost way more than any knife I own. I have the CRKT Sting, and it is an odd one I agree. It’s a knife I love to hate. But my wife wants to go to places (dinner, play, live show, and so on) that I deem “really, why HERE”. So I have often used the Sting as a forearm blade under long sleeves due to its awesome rig it comes with. So, not just an ankle and/or “boot” knife.

I’ve got an Applegate-Fairbairn boot knife made by Böker that I’ve been carrying for years. Fits great on my combat boots.

I‘m a fan of the ulti-clip. It probably wouldn’t work on boots with any padding but it could clamp to the redwings and cowboy boots. That sheath would never come lose.

Some teams have boots custom made with boot knives built in (sole etc) There are some that the handle breaks down and protects the blade so you have have something like the schrade needle and have it not overtake your leg. Look for something that has a serrated edge part to it to for utility. Have the sheath added to your boot and look to see what type of boot will hold the knife you are looking at or vise versa.

Love that you tested with cowboy boots. Biggest reason I've been against boy knives is because the one I tried just flops around in a cowboy boot.
