Alright, i'm fucking tired of seeing this same kind of post in the favorite knife thread, where the person says there favorite knife, and how they can get it out faster and stab the other person. Unless your standing right next to them, like within 3 feet, the other person would have plenty of time to pull out their own knife. The fact is, you can disarm the other person with your bare hands. Real knife fighting has tactics and footing. Fantasy knife fighting is pull out your knife and stab. below is a list of things to never do in a serious knife fight.

1. Never fucking stab. the other person can disarm you, or if you do kill stab them, they can still fight back and you'll be without a knife. It is instead better to cut and slash, making small or large cuts using wrist movements.

2. Never reach out your arm that does not have the knife when you begin. This is just asking for the other person to attack it.

3. don't block edge on edge, for christ's sake, you'll screw up the blade's sharpness.

4. do not try and grab the other persons wrist to block them. They will still be able to cut your hand while you hold theirs.

5. Whenever possible, wrap your arm in between joints to block their attack.



The best knife fighters in the world are filipino's, look up their tactics on google. Please add to this thread if you have comments/corrections

im pretty sure when we are all talking about pulling out our knife faster we are talking about being pointblank range, thats when the need for it would be the greatest. The odds of needing it is when some one is right up in your face not 10 feet away.

But at point blank range the other person would do better to use their fists while you reached into your pocket. Unless of course it was a sheath knife you carried on your hip, in which case the other person would be retarded to try and start a fight. But if they did start a fight while you were wearing a sheath knife then they probably also have a knife.

Sorry for making this so drawn out people.

1. i doubt a knife with a blood groove will get stuck in the body once you stick your enemy. Second i prefer to stab because it is far more lethal than a slash, i use slashes to set up for a stab.

2. it is common sense no problems here unless you parry the blow you can grab the wrist and slash the triceps.

3. i dissagree block with whatever part of the knife you can the knife is expendable your life is not and i can pick up another ka-bar for cheap.

you're all fucking idiots

thats kinda harsh... im not sure how i classify as an idiot when im trying to talk sense into these kids

not you i meant the rest of them.....

this is just an extremely retarded thread, all these bad ass "knife fighters"...

let them have there fun. there pretty much playing pretend. haha that viva kid says he prefers... when have you ever actualy had to do any of that? and you do it so often you have a preferance???

what it comes down to is it doesnt matter what stance your in or what way you hold it, a knife is fucking deadly. And while your worring about your foot work im going to be unloading

Yes im playing pretend, but im using refrences from living sources such as my pops a Lurp from Nam and My uncle a Vietnam era Marine.... of course they dont know jack shit right? But yes i have never done any of this you are correct i can not lie but when i ship out next March i bet i will have some close encounters.

Yes a knife is a great advantage in a H2H situation but training is always good because muscle memory is helpful do you beg to differ? a knife is tad more dangerous in the hands of some one with a couple of hours of knife work than some new jack who picks up a butterfly knife.

So im now an idiot because your too ignorant to accept anything that might prove you wrong. Both the filipino and spetsnaz armed forces abide by most of these guidelines. From a miltiary standpoint, if you do get in a knife fight it will most likely be with someone also trained to use a blade, and would most likely slash instead of stabbing. Thank you viva for going to serve your country.

Crazyassmetalhead, Your not a "badass" knife fighter either, and probably have less experience with a knife than the average 4 year old. You have no place to try and flame others on their thread.
