What's going on guys black Scout survival and today I'm we talking about the clench pick and this is a knife a defensive knife designed by Craig Douglas also known as South narc and the owner of Shiv works and basically he created a you know fighting systems based on extreme close quarters with with firearms you know pistols as well.

As a knives but you know he designed this from his experience on being on the streets and stuff like that and it's a design I really like now what you're going to notice here that's different is that normally own life the cutting blade is on this side the cutting blade is actually on the inside of the clinch pick you have a teardrop handle that.

Gives you a very very positive lockup so the knife nothing will come out your hand because it has such a meaty portion back here so you know you want to be careful you have one of these a lot of people have the tendency to put their thumb on the knife don't do that you're just going to wrap it around in the grip like this right here but most you know.

Most knife fighting is based on you know a lot of Filipino martial arts and you got your one strike you got your one strike you got your two strike you know three four five you know you so none of those would really work except for you know thrusting strikes none of these slashes will work with that because this knife is designed for.

Grappling clinch range I'll demonstrate that in a few minutes but using your back muscles and gross strength to tear and rip at your opponent or salient and it is good the knife very good designed for that he also designed the pike Isle which is a Spyderco folding version with the reverse blade like that so you know the.

Thing about this is just being a small blade like this small fix blade it's quicker to draw you know quicker to draw and get out instead of trying to fumble around most people carry you know some type of folding tactical folder but those two seconds are trying to get this blade out you know your life could be over so you know he designed this to get.

Get out very quickly and start going to work so you know fixed blade is better for that comes with a codex sheath you can it comes with a tech lock - I don't like the tech light I got a sage wood gear to start making these here clinch pick straps and so essentially I have the trainer on here but essentially it just wraps around gives you double.

Retention better lock up looks better a lot more comfortable and with the clinch pick you want to keep it between the ten and two and the reason why that is is because you want to be able to access it especially in a grapple or clinch with both hands so I could grab this way or I can go on a reverse grip this way so I can go you know fighting either way.

Either direction I could pull out either direction and go to work you know most of the time with this if I'm pulling out strong hand I'm going to go into the thigh you know ribcage or neck in Reverse I'm just going to the same thing going in those directions there you know vital targets you know this is for.

Life-threatening situations not for getting in a bar fight but you can also get a trainer here and I think it's good to have a trainer training night if you do use but it's pretty much the same you know looks the same just has a red handle seen positively identify you're not going to stab your buddy when you're training with it and got holes drilled.

Out for balance so it's kind of equally balanced now the the sheath will not work for the other arm because this is thicker and speaking of the sheath I'd like to point something out you have to be careful with the clench pick when you're putting it back in you want to go on this bottom groove here because if you keep running this top groove you're.

Going to dull that knife so put it in like that and so you don't do that knife now I did this video mainly because a few people had asked me on Instagram one one gentleman asked me said well you know what are you carrying that knife for are you really you know cutting up and stuff that's going to be irritating use a traverse blade this blade is not a.

Utility blade it's strictly defensive the only time I'm going to coat this knife if I get in a situation I have to cut someone you know my life depends on it that's hitting some utility knife not cutting up in box and stuff with that so you know you need to have in my opinion a defensive knife and your you know your.

Utility knife so so guys I'm going to show you a few techniques with a clinch pick I got black scout commandos that can't been here in a while I blew his head off he got pissed about that a long time ago but he's back so anyhow with the clearance pick this is just really designed for grappling so if Zacks trying to you know grapple with me.

Is trying to go for my firearm I may be trying to you know keep him from trying to get my firearm and I access that weapon and start you know go to work on him if I have to because really that's what that's what it may be you know you can't access your firearm your life's in jeopardy and you're trying to hold retention on that firearm.

And go to work and you can either go either hand if he's got me locked up again you know I can go this hand as well using those grouse back muscles really cutting into him you know cutting all up in here you know it's like a pulling motion you know how strong you are pulling you know but that's really what it's designed to do but you can.

Also use you know traditional techniques you know different Filipino martial arts techniques I don't think you can't just not having that cutting agile the front you're going to have to change it up a bit so you know Zack throws a punch at me and I block come in strike his hand and come in and cut now he's not going to.

Let me keep cutting so he may go ahead and throw this hand and I block here elbow here wrap his arm around using that cutting blade to hook his arm kind of like a Quran bit and bring him around and then go to work or I can lock him up whatever I need to do you know she can still use a lot of these same techniques here just like I'm using a foregrip if.

He's trying to stab me with a knife and I block it out the way I wrap this arm around using it as a crime but basically cutting into his arm holding hooking him and then finishing him off so you can still use these techniques as well but anyhow guys that's the clench pick you can get this at triple art design they have the trainer in the clinch pick I'm.

Not sure if they really manufacture them but they do sell them there and I think it's a very very good defensive late I really like it also like it's designed that the Pakal as well but I make sure you scratch our channels we put out a few new videos every week and as always thanks for watching
