Edwood7,
Sir, if you do not mind answering ?
For a weapon concealed what do you think of the short Sayoc with spike versus the Stealth ?
Do you think a spike is a good idea on the stealth ?
On all the Winklers do you see a big advantage in the spike for anti personal work, particularly against heavy clothes and soft armor?
I am undecided between the Winkler short spike Sayoc and the Stealth.
I posted this story some time ago, it’s a clear example of why I like the front spike on the sayok.
I think a spike Stealth would give extra bite in a close place over the regular stealth, but, I may be missing something.
I would like to see a pic of the Stealth side by side with the Sayoc short spike.
Thank You,
Court
I have use my knife in defensive situation before. But recently I used my tomahawk in a life and death situation during a raid on a safe house in the southern part of the country. We were tipped off about suspicions activities going on in a large house in a upper class neighborhood, the report said that several men whit military uniforms and riffles were going in and out of the house during the night.
We set up near the house and got the go ahead to enter the house after we got some much needed back up by the Mexican military, once inside most of the almost 11 armed narcos gave themselves up whit out a struggle. We went ahead and cleared the entire house, when we heard one of our guys screaming over the radio for back up. One of the bad guys was hiding in one of the balconies and tried to wrestle the shotgun away from my team mate.
When I arrived to help out, I realized that my friend was struggling to pull out his hand gun from his leg holster, and I pull out my tomahawk and hit the bad guy in the shoulder (he was wearing body armor) the spike on my hawk went right trough the Kevlar and cut his shoulder badly, he immediately stopped fighting and had to be sent to the hospital for stitches. I would have shot him but felt that I might have hit my friend in the struggle. The bastard will live. My friend was alright, but a bit shaken from the whole ordeal. Turns out his leg holster was new and he hadn’t gotten used to it yet. Almost cost him his life. I took these pictures of the vest the idiot was wearing whit my cell phone.
P.S. I was aiming for his head.
