As anyone reads this let me say that I write this with no emotion....I have been presented with many points of views. Some I have learned from and most I have been able to clarify to with my explanation of why I create something or develop product and the use of it. Thank you for the opportunity. Lets begin.

You make very good points and you and I can create a debate that could last for days, weeks (smiling) on and on....
"Gimmicky"....everything out there that attracts attention is because of a "gimmick", something that is different and make one think and go WOW I LIKE THAT.
Confrontations are always important to be avoided....but, the use of any tool (ANY TOOL) must be followed with proper training and practice. That being said, in a true fight one looks for any advantage to win. So if you have a knife or a gun and I have a stick I may be able to win, depending of the opportunity given. Even if we are going at 100mph. We have to take into consideration that hormones, neurotransmitters, body conditioning, geographical situations, etc....will take priority over that moment. The question is in the training.

All I am offering is another option to what one can carry to protect themselves. If a folder is going to be used (because of the immediate situation) and I am using SNAG then all I want is to get your attention quickly and deliver some chaos...allowing me to escape or move up to the next level of TOOL power.

If the only opportunity I have is to use my SNAG as a blunt impact tool, then so be it. It's not about common sense, it is about the choice you have at that moment....then open an opportunity to move up to the next level of power.
If you have not had the chance please to my website to see other products that may better help. If a folder feels weak in a comfrontation then perhaps a fix blade or a Controller.

Thank you and please do not take this as a confrontation....text never delivers emotions and can somtimes cause a mis-understanding. I can always be reached via phone.

Even if intended just for control I still don't think it's a good idea and see it as gimmicky. Trying to control someone in a dynamic confrontation with the back part of the blade could put a ton of pressure on the lock, the very best liner-locks can take about 130lbs. of pressure on the back of the tip. It's not like a robotic slow motion demo. Trying to find ways to use a knife as a kubotan type of device for pressure points, trapping, blunt strikes, etc. just don't really make much sense in general. Are you going to use it as a pain compliance tool on an unarmed guy starting trouble? If they are armed with a weapon are you going to attempt trap and pass moves in real life or do the smart thing and go for disarm immediately and finish right away?

If you have enough training to actually use a device to do pain compliance control, trapping, locking, etc. with adrenaline pumping and situation moving 100mph, you don't need the device to begin with. If you use this on an unarmed guy and he lands rough and gets a nice cut, bystanders saw you take a knife out your pocket...

The first word that came to mind when I saw the price was "hilarious", but I agree completely.

Hi Dorito Monk

please take no offense and text do not convey emotions. I am happy that people are buying my knives and that I have the opportunity to explain and teach the use of my SNAG.

Thank you for your coment...positive or negative it's all good.

Like I responded to Tostig.....I have a unique tool.
Wether the price is funny or not it really does not matter. What matters is if the tools I make will fit your needs.

Again....I do not take offense. In general people will like it or not. My vision is to make tools/knives and have fun creating them.
 
I respect that bud and I am hearing what you are saying....let me say I take back the gimmicky and apologize for that because it is rude, replace it with "I have my doubts about the design and using a blade for control/compliance"

I did watch 4 or 5 of your videos on YouTube last night while trying to get one of my kids to go to sleep. I genuinely like your personality as a trainer and don't doubt you as a person at all - just voicing opinions on the design itself based on my own background and experiences. I would definitely like to see how the folder will hold if a big guy is trying to create distance right as the user is creating an anchor with the tip...would even volunteer as long as you are using one of the Controller/rounded blades :D
 
Thank you for posting that....

This happens when a company decides to not follow the rules and then one has to get nasty. It's a shame.
What you see on that site are MY knives that been rejected do to BREAKING of the opening lever upon contact to the stopping pin.....liner lock breaking ALL THIS BECAUSE OF POOR HEAT TREATMENT.
RING....is not solid piece of steel but, an aluminum insert which pops out.

The company sold this to a chinese individual and he is sellling the amount that he has left. They were $69 now $29

They should have at least erased my name.

They have been contacted and I am in the process of publically displaying their name so that knife makers will not use them.

Thank you for bringing that up. Any questions you can call me.

Becareful of buying that "similarly" looking knife.....that might be my REJECT due to poor quality and poor skill at following my instructions on production.

CALI brought that up and that is the sight that has my rejected knives.

Thank you for your comment.

EDIT: I would not purchase the knife based on that high of a price and similarly found knives for significantly cheaper however this is just my opinion

Awesome and roger that.....

where do you live? I am in Florida. I will be out of country teaching Dec. 1-13
I take you up on the offer.

As for the comments and your experiences and knowledge, I completely understand. I am NO expert or a MASTER, I am just a guy with a tool and some experience. Most of the times what I show fits the need, sometimes I get bounced around to prove my point. At the end it all hurts...SMILING.

Also, lets take into account that if I have more then one tool on me....SNAG/ASP/GUN/RIFLE/PEN/CREDIT CARD I will use whatever I can to create space and either run or finish the job. RUNNING is my preference always.

Thank you again for this opportunity

to be honest I thought it was one of the few original designs from the chinese companies as its ... well ... incredibly funky as functional as it may be. my apologies and thank you for the clarification.
 
These have a place on my mantlepiece........


right next to my "Chronicles of Riddick" collection.
 
I am in Canton, OH the past few months...finally moved back to the area I grew up after all the Marine Corps stuff and staying around in San Diego for an extra 6 years.

If I had the cash and time I'd definitely show up at a show or seminar.

I definitely know the hurt, my whole life in the Martial Arts world if I wasn't senior I was always the test dummy :) Best way to soak up the information other people are trying to share and communicate.

Excellent...it's a deal.

you can shot me an email any time and the first chance I get to go west I will let you know ASAP so we can get together.

There are some knife shows and the Shot Show coming up in Vegas. Keep in touch and I really apreciate the opportunity of our communication.

The question is ....how did your buddy feel after the SNAG was applied on him....the SNAG Controller was used for safety purposes :)

Well you actually used it on me also, although it wasn't filmed. It was more just for my fiancee's enjoyment.

I can tell you that it hurt, as a pain compliance tool it CAN work. Whether using it in a real situation is feasible or not, I cannot comment. It was fun though. :)
 
Ahhhh...I have a slight recollection.

I believe your fiancee was taking pictures and she was suggesting to give you more PAIN...smiling.

Thank you for letting me apply some techniques on you.

As for working on a true situation....I can tell you only this, if one has not prepared for that "an encounter" then you can only rely on what you make up at that moment or simply run. I believe in the preparing as much as possible part and having a tool at your disposal (whatever the tool may be).

Then you have to consider the following:

1. where you are (geographical location...good area bad area, open space, limited movement space, etc.)
2. awareness
3. emotional state when you know an event will happen
4. emotional control
5. setting up for control
6. what can you use for advantage (it is all about advantage)
7. voice commands
8. can you run like hell? option

there is more, much more but, then it becomes a lesson and you are going to fall asleep on me (smiling)

On a finishing note.....any tool out there for self protection may or may not work. It is just a matter of preference.

Thank you for stopping by my booth and for the comments.

Yes, I guess it does. When the majority of the members know the rules regarding spam and advertising without a membership and then encourage it it's time to lock it down.
