I have the USCCA Kershaw. They’re offering a different model

I couldn’t carry that, the clip is too low and the top of the knife will protrude from my pocket and catch on my seatbelt all the time!
That’s why I like my smith and Wesson folder.

My Issue is the width of the clip on my other Kershaw (a gift).
I’m going back to the old reliable USCCA knife which is almost snag-free.

Side by side with the familiar USCCA Kershaw, I finally figured out why I have issues with the HK Böker knife—it’s not lefty friendly.

Mine is a Kershaw Select Fire. Four bits and a driver to tackle smaller tasks as they appear such as tightening holster screws before they disappear, reversible pocket clip, thumb stud open and a little bit of ruler markings on the driver. This replaced my Benchmade Mini Osbourne and Gerber Suspension NXT from being both on my person and was actually gifted to me upon telling a stranger I was on the lookout for a combo of bit driver and knife to increase the room for pocket access. I was also asked by several people why I had so many knives in my pockets.

Just recognize that if there’s a knife involved that your priority instantly changes from “control his hips and shoulders” to “the hand with the knife is life and death important.”

In a lot of martial arts systems I see a lot of slicing and dicing and complicated movement patterns, but in real life I see brutal, straightforward poking like a sewing machine. That could change if ever I saw a highly trained knife nerd in a knife fight for sure.

I wanted to practice some knife drills so I ordered training knives. I didn’t expect them to be these sizes ( next to my EDC, USCCA Kershaw)

So that flaccid little blade is what California and the UK call a knife….
Next is a KBAR, US military issued combat knife.
the large one is a standard Wild West Bowie knife.
How far we’ve fallen

At some point it does become cumbersome, the Bowie is about that point.
Beyond that it starts to fall into short sword range which then becomes its own form of combat separate from knife fighting.
I like my little smith and Wesson folder, good for utility and edc, maybe not the best fighting knife, but it will work in a pinch!
