I wanna say Popeil Pocket Machete! LOL
I adore the Fairbairn-Sykes but they're rather hard to hide...:)
Unless I'm wearing very tall boots, Mr Beltrame must suffice.
[And now I'm humming "Dolly Dagger" in my head...man, I love 'em]
Love your user name, too.
A righteous, Ragnarokin' handle.
That “hook” has a great defensive angle for blocking, curves around a wrist or forearm, catches it so you can thrust it aside, your other arm is chambering to go for the cut. And if you hold it edge up, going for the femoral inside the thigh, the curve puts the business part of the cutting edge right on it like it had eyes. I used to have to draw lots of arterial blood working in the hospital, being real. When you have them in your hands the applications reveal themselves. Not a bloody guy, martial arts applications come to me easily. Practicing a spinning backfist is worthwhile because after a block, coming with the other hand with a spinning backfist with this knife in it, they never see it coming, and all your weight and hip rotation is behind it.

And don’t worry, it’s not that hard, mostly about how you put your feet. When your foot makes that crosstep, aim your butt towards the general area where the enemy stands, and you’re golden.
Sorry for being longwinded, i practice with them and I could be a real missionary recommending these to women especially...and you will appreciate the double snick flipping them open. I practice the quick draw and cut over and over. From touching it in your pocket, pulling it out open the blade only slightly, like a baseball pitch the windup SNICK opens it, then “throw” your cut...just s dogshair over one second from pocket to the guy in front of you turning into a Japanese flag. I pity the fool that goes in the Target ladies room where a “convert” is refreshing herself ;)
I own a original Fairbairn-Sykes it is really a crappy knife.
There are so many better ones now.
