Am I the only one that carries push daggers for up close defense?

Mr. Nameless · 11-27-2009, 06:54 PM

Well I have a set of two thats sheath goes on you belt sideways. So far they have been very useful to me in many situations. Mainly on the feild, but I still carry them everywhere.

I would but the laws here are abit strange when it comes to knives and the mood of the cops.

Ursus · 11-28-2009, 06:55 AM

I would carry one, if I could find it here

It appears that you might be! Here in Texas we are limited to 5 1/2" on the blade. I have other knives that I use for hunting sometimes that have longer blades, but my Gerber Big Rock with a 5" blade is what I usually carry. It is only a secondary back up to the .45 on my hip. If I die in a fight they won't put on my tumbstone, "He brought a knife to a gunfight".

I have a Cold Steel Voyager folder I like for close carry. I think Cold Steel still makes a push dagger or two, I know they used to.
Push daggers are particularly good for those not specifically trained for knife fighting. Just punch away like you would in a fistfight. Martial arts training (including, especially perhaps, boxing) magnifies the result.
I've had pretty intensive training and practice for knife combat, and I'd still like one. Just haven't had the cash in hand and the knife available at the same time.

Here you go Max, take a look at this one.

Nameless, that's exactly what I was thinking of. They also made a larger one, with a 3 finger grip, knife came out between index and second finger.
I see "cheapies" all the time, but the thing about push daggers that worries me most is the extreme narrowing of the metal between blade and grip, and I'm not risking my life on a pot-metal Pakistan knockoff. I'll stick with Cold Steel or better whenever I can.

A more economical compromise can be a Benchmade.

I don't like push knives very much because they have no real utility function. Any good folder can do what a push dagger does, is as concealable, but actually has functionalism.

Strange you would ask. This one arrived in the mail this morning, I ordered it Friday arrived following Monday. Exemplerary service from bladeplay.com.
Twenty dollars delivered. Made in China. Looks like full 3/16" steel with micarta handle panels. Perfect grinds. I wanted something to carry in the truck and this looks ideal for that. They have knives of any price you want to pay, but I think this is a bargain.

Big ugly · 12-28-2009, 04:11 PM

I guess you aint the only one. I like custom knives and I like Gil Hibben designs. I purchased this on a while back

Ursus - A Salvadoreno friend of mine has sent me three knives in the last four or five years. Two of them he says are examples of what the "working man" carries there. The brand on both is IMACABA/TIBURON. He says they are made in El Salvador. Both stainless. One is a 10" blade and the other an 8" blade. Both look like they're made for heavy work. Wonder why they don't have push daggers there?

I never had much use for a push dagger, but I do like the picture of big ugly's knife.

Like this? Not pretty, just efficient.

USMCSpeedy · 01-16-2010, 05:25 PM

I always carry a blade of some sort. Here in MN its a multi purpose tool.

Enido DeLeon makes a beautiful push dagger. Can sometimes be found on ebay or sites like redriverknives.com.
