Kevin S Gallagher replied to wesley mathew ratliff's discussion 'value fighting knives'

Here are two folders I would stake my life on in regards to everyday self-defense. The top is a Bram Frank design called the LLC, which is one of the best tools for defensive use as it, can be used as an impact or edge style. Many knifes…

Kevin S Gallagher commented on Bram Frank's group 'Bram Franks Knives'

Bram's knife designs are not simply innovating but just may be the best tool for the average person to have for self-defense, an excellent compliance tool for law enforcement.

Halicon replied to Kevin S Gallagher's discussion 'Tactical open or closed' in the group Tactical Collectors Club

Good point, I'm not a fan of taking on an already deployed opponent with nothing but your "pommel". If you had enough time to bring it out you should instinctively already have deployed it and the "pommel" will work just as…

Halicon, yes it has a very nice grip indeed. In regards to showing a bit in the pocket, not a problem here in Oregon where a large percentage of the population carry folders.

Hog, I have no particular use for this folder, I was looking at another one and noticed this one and the wallet opened :-)

Nice pincher type grip. Not something I would choose to walk with however as I see the config for carrying it will have it showing a bit in the pocket, plus that people in this country this flippers are automatic homing missiles that find your liver…

Last night our training group attended a dinner for a group of roughly 500 people with interest in self-defense. Our group along with other groups had a table to explain what we offer. I had several interesting knifes out on the table which drew considerable attention. At one point one of the attendees ask for a demo of a tool/knife called the Gunting, he said "show me" what this tool can do.
