      Scowler he specifically mentioned it in regard to jungle survival. As far as fighting goes, some would agree and some wouldn’t. It provides for extra bite in a pull cut if one is cutting rope or maybe in skinning an animal though.

    The shape of that blade, although it's a little smaller, it resembles my Benchmade Delta Raider.
    It doesn't have a head adjusting pommel, it comes with a nice chunky all over kraton handle. The serious recurve on the Raider, means that the cutting edge is so much longer. It's a great and highly effective design feature.

    You don't win wars with knives. They are, in modern combat, a means of last resort. That said, this elite professional is teaching you how to survive when your other weapons fail or are lost. You also don't need to reload a knife and it kills silently. You always want to have a way to cut something, a way to start fire, and a firearm with you at all times. A knife is an invaluable tool.

Now with all that being said he still could have been a special forces operator, but if he was then he's DEFINITELY making it out to be more than he ACTUALLY HAS DONE.

      No their reasoning for a $350 blade sheath combination makes sense. He's done collaborations with Spartan Blades before and released a blade designed as more of a concealed carry blade that came in kydex. But for the purposes and experience he's had in the military it makes sense considering where they are being used why they would go with just a nylon at first.

      Jacob Summer He never said the kydex wouldn't hold up but the fact remains that it will be affected by temperature and moisture whereas nylon won't. Also in tactical situations where you need to be as quiet as possible kydex would prove too loud.
      In regard to saying it's as good as an axe. Yea I agree that's going too far. I think he was just trying to point out though that the design of the blade was to allow for light chopping which would mimic a small hatchet.

    What a useless bunch of knives for 99% of the world but I'm glad to know that in my next vacation to the jungle that they made a knife I can count on

    Why does he say _arigato_ when he is clearly not Japanese? Is he trying to stick with the Ronin theme? I'm confused.

    Yeah, that’s one way to over sell a knife so hard I don’t want to buy it. And if you’ve got a pistol on your hip... why the hell are you engaging in a knife fight
