I have to say though, that this statement strikes me as somewhat ignorant. Assuming the “you†is meant generically, and both the attacker and the attackee are of similar skill levels (in reality the attackee probably has greater skill), you are trying to tell me that the person with a smooth solid draw will loose? Are you real sure ‘bout that?If an opponent draws a knife on you and you react as you state you will, you will lose.
I wasn’t speaking of the POP. I am speaking of the need to open a knife super fast as opposed to a practiced (i.e. familiar) solid and smooth draw.Perhaps, but in my experience with the Brownie POP the knife feels like it is much more secure in my hand as it is being opened...when I use my thumb to open the blade I feel an impact to my arm could possibly dislodge the knife, when I POP it open my thumb is securely on the knife, just feels better and more secure. As far as the speed, why not use the fastest method available!
The fast one of course. I think I’ve said two or three times so far, that there is absolutely nothing wrong with fast deployment. I will probably never spend much time focusing on shaving off that last half to full second, as that last bit has greatly diminished marginal returns. I still want somebody to explain to me (or show me an actual scenario) how a person will actually be better served with a 1 second or so faster draw. Lots and lots of emphasis in the knife world is placed on how fast the knife is to open and deploy. I think that emphasis is greatly misplaced, which is why I brought it up.If you had a choice between a practiced super fast solid and smooth draw, and a practiced (slower) solid and smooth draw, which would you prefer?
First I have heard of that, and I am a member of the Spyderco Forum.Spyderco supposedly has tried to make it very very difficult for inertial opening due to the abuses by prosecutors trying to convict on gravity knife charges.
The last straw was a prosecution for a "gravity knife " in NYC against the UK Pen Knife. A non locking slip joint.
That was Mr Glesser's reaction too.What!?
I can't wait for Knife Rights to beat these idiots in their lawsuit against this insanity!!!
