In most states, felons get their right to own a gun back after 7 to 10 years, so definitely check out your local state laws. You may be surprised.

Excellent point about not only training, but training under stressful conditions. Adrenaline dumps cause a myriad of physiological responses, one of the most challenging being that fine motor skills are greatly diminished. So something as simple as deployment becomes extremely difficult, especially if you've never trained for it. Good stuff as always, Jared.

Riding motorcycles can help with handling adrenaline and situational awareness I haven't watched the end, but it's hard enough to introduce stress while shooting, without 100/hrs simunition classes you mostly rely on time, forcing split second decisions (have a beep or color separate for good and bad guy) It helps to have a friend yell "your dead" and fire shots during your training. Idk how you would introduce adrenaline in knife training. Also seems like if you know how to handle yourself in a fight, and have a tiny bit of critical thinking and a bit of practice stabbing and slicing..... your going to be fine. Not many "knife warriors" running around out there.

New to this channel, but very familiar with carrying a small knife for self-defense. Craig Douglas of Shivworks & his principles for grappling/knife use is outstanding, & something I recommend every good guy/gal that carries a firearm should embrace.

Same here Jared I'm also a former felon. Some of us just make bad decisions in or younger years. I caught my felony when I was 20 years old. I'm 43 years old now and haven't been in trouble since. It does suck not being able to have or carry a firearm for self defense but I've found a good small fixed blade will work wonders in a tight situation. As for home defense ive got a hunting big bore air rifle. I went on a moose hunt several years ago and took a 1200lbs bull in eastern Alaska. After I got home and had children I wanted to have something in the house to at least protect my family. So I bought a second air rifle and had it modded by a professional so that it's shorter and compact. It's a air force texan 50 cal in semi automatic. For an air rifle to hit as hard as a 44mag at 10 feet is something else. Just wanted to maybe put that out there for the people in the community who need another option. As far as I know all 50 states class air rifles as non firearms.

I want to be a politician and hopefully I can propose a law that allows felons to carry a firearm in certain circumstances. Because why should anyone be less secure in their freedom?

Very cool video thanks.good job Jerad.

Good video. I totally agree about adrenaline stress training to help with dealing with all the mental physical stuff that happens. I also grew up in a tough area (Texas/Mexico border area). I'm an old retired guy who isn't the young Marine he once was. I train with weapons daily and have been blessed to have some good martial arts training (Kenpo/Escrima/Kuntao-Silat). The Emerson Wave feature is nice. I'm a big fan of Kershaw-Emerson knives because of the Wave feature and lower cost than an Emerson. I also agree that a smaller, well made fixed blade knife that is easy to conceal and deploy and that you're willing to do daily training with is a good tool to have. Keep up the good work. I just subscribed and look forward to more of your videos...:)

I have the same setup on my Matriarch 2. I also carry a Spyderco Police model and a leather folding coin purse that will fracture a collarbone or a jaw if necessary. A proper mindset goes a long way.

My issue with liner lock knives is the process to close them REQUIRES you to put a nice soft, fleshy, bleedy thumb IN THE PATH OF A MOVING BLADE!!! Think there's some OSHA regulations against similar actions in the workplace. Keeps me from buying what look to be nice, even fun knives, but I see liner lock and NOPE.

Crossbar lock style knives can be deployed fast with practice by deploying with the lock itself. I've tried button lock autos but you have to make sure to hit that button right Wich isn't as easy in a panic situation as on thinks. Thanks for the other suggestions keep making good content.

Dude i like this video you really show how to demonstrate the techniques and understand that combat knives NEED GOOD HOLSTERS with perferablly a clip that allows the most comfortable, preferential and most effective positioning or ability to position the blade.

Craig Douglas also designed the Spyderco p'kal. It's got a trainer also. It's basically a folding Disciple, with a wave opener

Hello Jared Thank you for the video and no nonsense talk about protection. Society does need men and a toughness should never be comprised. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, Sir . Good info , well done .

I’m a new gun owner and am now looking into an edc/defense blade option. Totally agree that a blade can be the better tool in some defensive situations. Also, I fully intend to abide by the gun laws making a blade the only/best defensive option in some settings.

Keep video like this one coming💪

I love knives, cheap to expensive. My Dad bought my first, a 1 and a quarter, double blade pen knife, I still have it. He told me back in the 1950's, "...all men should carry one and if used properly, more damage can be inflicted (slashing) from a 1" blade than a 5 or 6" blade because of concealability." Most of my ancestry evolved around the Italian and my Uncle's knowledge of use for protection stayed with me. As a fisherman, I carry no less than three knives and a U.S. Navy long blade machete. For EDC, a 2" lockblade and a Philipeian karambit. I've had my share or skirmishes. I forgot to mention: Training is the key to success. No matter what you carry.18:39

It takes about two hundred deployments before you begin to achieve muscle memory. I always do some practice runs before I leave the house. Just make sure I'm fully familiarized with my weapon. Bottom line training makes you faster. And the fastest man to the party wins every time.

I appreciate that you mentioned the felon thing because i am also a felon and i love firearms but cant "legally" carry. I appreciate your honesty on this subject.

If you live in a country (Prison) like Australia where it's illegal to sneeze let alone carry a blade, an alternative is....and yes it's not ideal, is a tyre repair spike found in regular tyre repair kits that use bacon strips. They are basically a prison shiv with a handle and I carry one in the centre consoles of both my cars. Haven't worked out a way to practically carry it on my person yet but I'm sure a ghetto sheath could be made.

Great video man ! Knife is a tool ive always carried . And ive always carried aun flashlight and first aiid supplies like turnaicut. And two knives are better than one . EDC for me .

regarding the firearm vs. knife argument... maybe read into libre fighting. it kinda supplements shivworks stuff, is pretty interesting overall, and makes a few arguments why knives are interesting. for example knives and knifelike objects (pointed, edged) are more readily available, even in so called weaponless zones. think a pen or pencil or some scissors.

+1 for the double edged clinch pick 2. I wanted something ambidextrous for when I'm driving. Once you had someone lean in your drivers window and start swinging you start thinking about an easy access defense. That guy from Shivworks knows his stuff.

awesome content man. Also I want ot point what you said about fire amrs, I have nothing agianst it, acutely I would love to have one, but in NY and CT which is the states I have lived in it is very hard to get a carry gun lincense, especially in NY, I see what you are saing and I do agree that a knife and training yourself it will bring a lot to the table, to be safe and help other in case of need.

Nice selection of knives in your content presentation

You only get what you settle for, stay strong

Bastinelli scalpel. Yep, it's more or less a shank but...absolutly crazy(!!) sharp from the box. Cares super deep, there's only the small black ring sticking out so it's stealth to carry. Small thin blade but it will cut to the bone. The finger ring isn't that thick so I wouldn't use it for punching but it's great for quick deployment and retention.

The original TDK by Kabar is a must have self defense knife. Anyone can learn to use it very effectively. It's a great G.T.F.O.M. tool

There’s a time and a place for everything. OC is another big one people don’t think about or skip over. Guns are the best option in those situations where they would be the best. But it’s obvious if you don’t have a smooth brain that you can’t always resort to that. Also like you said there’s a lot of people that have had there rights taken away from past mistakes. Me personally I would do everything I could do to look into getting them expunged. But even if you can’t. There are ways of legally owning black powder guns for at least home defense. Granted not the best but still it’s better than a bat in your house. Over all i agree with your list and explanation. And honestly if you can afford it Shiv Works is one of the best out there.

You should check out some of the knives designed by Bram Frank, they'd be right up yoir alley for a self defense knife. The puzzle lock is excellent, as is the ability to use it as an impact tool or a knife.

Can’t fault you for taking the plunge into this not so nice side of the knife world. The best advice is definitely practice, practice, practice and practice some more on your technique. With luck it will only ever be a form of keeping yourself fit! With luck you’ll never ever need to put a blade into another person after all a firearm is no where near as mentally taxing as you feeling that blade going into another person it’s way more likely to impact on your own mind than just pulling a trigger! Much love to everyone and I hope you never have to do the ultimate sacrifice but you should always be prepared for the worst. Especially in the way our world is turning🫡 much love J&K stay safe and healthy both 🫵🏻😘👍🏼

Push daggers certainly seem badass but they can turn in your hand. Grip a push dagger, wrap the blade, and twist it with your other hand. The shaft is likely to slide sideways between your fingers. I'm not suggesting a bad guy is going to grab the blade, but the forces encountered in combat can have the same effect. And a kerambit ring can turn sideways force into a finger breaker. Try the same thing with a straight knife held in either forward or reverse grip with your thumb wrapped fully around the handle, and it's not going anywhere.

Amazing video

Good video here in CA it is almost impossible to get a concealed carry license

Good advice, you rock

11:32 I do, with a Fällkniven CC4! If I have used a knife, I will probably touch it up at the end of the day, or when I have a minute of peace. Just out of habit, lol. Ima sucker for honing and none-compound stropping!

I used to work around police in the drunk tank a few of them said knives scared them worse because a determined attack could cut through kevilar and in under 2 seconds could go from standing 8 to 10 feet apart to the knife stabbing into you. Guns are mighty, there's no denying that, however many encounters happen at intimate distance where it simply takes longer to pull and point than an attacker grabbing and slashing.
