The first thing I noticed about it was that it included a very nice kydex sheath that was form fitted to the blade for added security. But honestly, you don't want to hear about the sheath...you want to hear about the knife itself, so I'll move on! The blade itself is made from a very thick black anodized D2 steel that is full tang with G10 scales for supreme grip. It also features a spike on the pommel which provides you with a secondary option incase you'd prefer not to stab your attacker. At approximately 8.4 ounces, I love the weight of this knife and feel like it would make an excellent tactical dagger for everyday carry. But, be sure to watch the video to see my full review.

The second weapon I tested was the Professional Black Vented Balisong. If you've ever seen my Weapons Wednesday videos on the KarateMart YouTube channel, you know that I love balisong knives, but have certain features I prefer. This specific butterfly knife is made from a 440C stainless steel, which is an upgrade from the typical 440A stainless steel used in many butterfly knives. It also uses rivets (pins) instead of screws, which is something I prefer when it comes to balisong. I also like the fact that it has a standard latch instead of a spring latch. Spring latches are nice in some regards, but I grew up creating tricks using a standard latch. Make sure to watch the video to see this balisong in action!

The last weapon I tested was the Tactical Mini Crossbow. I've never shown a crossbow off on video before, so I was pretty excited to test this one out. Perhaps the most exciting thing about this specific crossbow is that it is smaller and lighter than standard crossbows, making it easier to carry for tactical purposes. It has approximately 80lbs of draw-weight, giving it just the right amount of power for target shooting or small game hunting. It also includes 3 golden aluminum bolts (arrows), so that you have a couple of back-ups if you need them. Be sure to watch the video to see me test it out!

]]> https:///blog/tactical-mini-crossbow-reviewed-and-tested Crazy Weapons You Need To See! https:///blog/crazy-weapons-you-need-to-see Modern Throwing Axe Set. We sell a lot of different types of throwing axes and I've tested out a lot of different styles over the years, but the thing I like most about this set is that they are designed to stick into their target way easier than other sets. The blades are angled in a way that makes them extremely easy to throw, even for a beginner. Also, they are made from one piece of metal, so there aren't additional materials or pieces that can get damaged during throwing.

The second weapon Eddie tested this week was the Hidden Spikes Nunchaku. Nunchucks in themselves are a difficult and dangerous weapon to learn, but these specific nunchaku are built with hidden spikes inside, which make them even more deadly. These should only be used by a trained professional, but they make an excellent display piece to hang on your wall. Perhaps the coolest thing about them is that they can be used as a standard pair of nunchaku if you keep the spike covers on them. These hidden nunchuck weapons are sure to be a big conversation piece if nothing else.

The last weapon Eddie reviewed was the Dark Venom Push Sword. This is clearly a fantasy weapon, but in the right hands, it can be very practical. Basically, because of how it is held, it becomes an extension of the users arm, giving them excellent control and power. This is definitely one of my all-time favorite fantasy weapons. Make sure to watch the video to see Eduardo test each of these weapons out!

]]> https:///blog/crazy-weapons-you-need-to-see Spiked Brass Knuckles and Other Deadly Weapons! https:///blog/spiked-brass-knuckles-and-other-deadly-weapons Compact Brass Spiked Knuckles. When reviewing, he immediately noticed that these specific brass knuckles didn't have a palm grip. By not having a palm grip, the knuckles are designed to be used differently from other popular knuckle duster weapons. For instance, the palm grip itself gives your hand something to hold tightly to when performing a "Swipe" type of strike. The benefit to this style of knuckle duster is that it is more compact that other brass knuckle weapons.

The other thing that sets these knuckles apart from other knuckle dusters is that it has a spike on the end that could be used for pressure point techniques, hammer strikes or various other attacks. So, these will probably be used very differently than other knuckle type weapons we carry. Just make sure to check your local laws before purchasing them because the laws can be very strict in certain locations on this type of weapon.

The next weapon we reviewed was the Rugged Tactical Karambit. One thing to note about this specific knife is that it is not just some mass-produced cheap knife. It is hand-made in America and is also limited-edition, so we may not be getting any more in the future. One of my favorite things about this karambit is that the blade is made from a D2 steel, which is known to be very wear-resistant and durable. The blade has a very stealthy black stonewashed finish as well as black G10 scales, providing it with a firm grip. It is also very compact and comes with an adjustable belt-clip which allows you to wear the knife in many different positions. Make sure to watch the video below for more information about this awesome knife!

The last weapon we reviewed was the Silver Bullet OTF Knife. This OTF knife is very different from other OTF knives you've seen in that it is shaped like a bullet. The casing is made from a thick metal that seems to be very durable, and the blade itself is made from a 440 stainless steel with black anodized accents. OTF stands for "Out-The-Front", meaning that this is an automatic knife that can deploy the blade very quickly with the push of a button. It also includes a black woven nylon sheath with security buckle to make sure your knife stays put while you are on the go.

]]> https:///blog/spiked-brass-knuckles-and-other-deadly-weapons The Deadliest Throwing Knives for Modern Combat! Knife Testing and Review https:///blog/the-deadliest-throwing-knives-for-modern-combat-knife-testing-and-review
First up on display is a knife that Eddie really takes a liking to. It's the Modern Combat Tracker Knife, and it's an all around great knife for combat, survival, tracking, training, and whatever else requires a big ol' blade like that. Crafted from thick 1065 German Surgical Steel, this knife and the tactical sheath it comes with will be ready to join you on any mission that you may have signed yourself up for. You can probably throw it too! But of course, take precautions and do so at your own risk.

Next, your host Eddie starts throwing things around. Specifically, he starts tossing the Professional Throwing Knives, and all three of them to be more exact! These heavy yet razor sharp knives have the top to sink into most any target, and a very long handle that is ripe for figuring out what your best technique is going to be. Similar to the smaller versions, these hunks of steel take more precision to learn, but once you do, you'll be acing almost as quickly as Eddie does!

Last up for review and some demonstration is the XL Silver Throwing Knives. This set of three oversized throwing knives has a broad blade shape that gives it so much more surface area for slicing into what you're aiming for. Not only does the wider curve of these throwing knives give the higher success rate, it gives more weight to throw around so you can send them farther than their feather weight counterparts! With a nylon carrying sheath and three knives to send down range, it's a no-brainer that these knives are a cut above the rest!

Watch as Eddie shows off three featured weapons, and talks about their 'battle' with being legal and a lot of the history behind that. Sometimes it is obvious why an item is legally restricted, but sometimes it doesn't make much sense, and there's certainly a story behind it!

The first weapon up for demonstration is the Tactical Trailing Point Karambit. Kyle has shown this off before, but Eddie loved it so much, he just had to have a go at using it on a defenseless pumpkin!

Next up is the Black OTF Knuckle Knife. These knuckle duster trench knives are not only two weapons in one, the automatic blade means it can switch from one form to the other in record time. Both the knife part and the knuckle part of this epic weapon have spent time on the banned list, so tune in to find out more.

The last weapon for this week's episode is the Spring Loaded Expandable Baton. Any kind of expanding weapon can be sure to get some shade from the East Coast, but why is that? Eddie does a good job of describing what weapons qualify as batons, and why they are so restricted in the New England areas.

]]> https:///blog/from-lethal-to-legal-3-weapons-you-can-probably-own---tested-and-reviewed 6 Unusual Folding Knives https:///blog/6-unusual-folding-knives Folding knives come in all shapes and sizes, but we want to highlight ones that come in shapes and sizes that you don't see everyday! These knives are picked for their unusual shape, materials, or functionality, and all of these weapons are available here at KOMBATIV. With so many different styles and designs to choose from, we chose a few personal folding knives that stand out from the rest. Nothing wrong with the tried and true design of many EDC weapons, but these 6 knives are unusual enough for us to bring them up and show them off!

Rugged Combat Knuckle Knife

What happens when you mash together brass knuckles with a folding knife, then make it compact enough for every day use and carry? You get the Rugged Combat Knuckle Knife. Crafted from stainless steel then given a dark stonewashed finish, this set of folding knuckles is one you just don't see often. The slim knuckles greatly reduce the weight while still offering protection during a punch. With the spring assisted open, you can reveal the sharpened blade quickly and give some slices to where they are needed.

Often referred to as trench knives, the combination of a knuckle handle with a sharpened blade doesn't come up that often, but you can see it on the Black Knuckle Knife. But a set of knuckles on the blade itself?! That's pretty unusual.

Pig-Sticker Folding Knife

The name says it all, and these long and slender sticking knives have been used for home slaughter for as long as people have had livestock. But what the name doesn't talk about is the mechanics of the folding design. The Pig-Sticker Folding Knife is large and in charge, with the sharpened stainless steel blade running 7.25 inches long and reaching a foot long unfolded. When folded, the blade is not completely covered with the handle, which is crafted from a steel liner and wooden scales. The sheath that houses this sticker knife is made of leather so that you can confidently transport it.

While most locking liners have a push release from the center, this hunter's knife has a tab that hangs where the blade meets the handle, and a push of that tab releases the lock and allows the blade to fold into the handle. Though it is still a viable weapon when folded, as it has the double sharpened tip with a clip-point curve! As far as folding knives go, this just isn't one you see everyday!

 

Quick Draw Karambit

Folding karambits are a force to reckoned with, and this all black version has an innovation that makes it a cut above the rest. Seriously, it unfolds as you pull it out of the sheath, and so it is almost like having a fixed blade karambit with half of the size and weight! The Quick Draw Karambit is constructed of 8Cr13Mov steel, which is a high rating stainless that is known for extreme edge retention. The handle of this folding weapon is made of G10, giving you a slightly textured and very durable way to grip the knife that won't decompose over time or with use. Everything about this karambit is black, from the anodized steel to the Kydex sheath, making it a great stealth weapon that is easy to carry.

This folding karambit made our list because of the way the talon blade gets locked into place by moving it through the sheath. With the carrying case secured directly on your hip, all you have to do is grasp the handle, put a finger through the classic karambit pommel ring, and pull forward. Your opponent will never know that what you're holding is a folding knife, because they will never see it folded! Without the spring-assisted opening mechanism, this karambit is lightweight, and you can always unfold it manually if you don't have the sheath. It's not the weirdest blade shape on a karambit, but the way it gets revealed is definitely different!

Behemoth Folding Cleaver

Have you ever heard of a folding cleaver? Us either. That was, until the Behemoth Folding Cleaver came along and dwarfed all the other cleavers. And it folds in half. This gargantuan stainless steel butcher blade has a hinge right in the center between the handle and almost 4-inch fine edge. The locking mechanism is hefty as well, as it should be, to make sure that the cleaver blade stays open while in use. If there was ever a camping knife to take with you for making dinner on the trial, this is it.

This behemoth folding knife has the squared blade and thick handle you need for some serious chopping action. And when it folds, the blade stows into the handle like any regular-sized pocket knife. There is even a lanyard hole on the handle, but for this massive blade, it is certainly more for a wrist strap! The woven nylon sheath provides a fitted pouch to store you cleaver in between camping trips. Before you unfold this massive and unusual cleaver, make sure that everyone else is a safe distance away!

Jungle Ranger Pocket Karambit

A folding pocket knife should be able to last through just about anything, and be useful for everything. That's the philosophy behind the Jungle Ranger Pocket Karambit, which has a little bit of everything, but still managed to stay, well, little. Don't be fooled by the compact appearance, as this stubby knife has both a straight and serrated blade that is intentionally at an angle to give you the most leverage possible while using. The dagger-pointed tip can puncture, the blade can slice, and the hook on the spine can pry at whatever it is you are battling with that day.

Forged with black anodized German 1065 surgical steel, this knife looks at rust, laughs, and keeps on cutting. The odd blade angle of this folding knife mixed with the security ring at the base of the handle make this compact karambit great for leveraged cuts and slicing cords. But all we know is that the pointed blade that folds into the green G10 handle makes this folding knife turn heads when you pull it out. It's got the pocket clip we need with the tab-activated spring assisted open we love, so this ranger pocket knife is moving quickly to the top of our unusual 'wish list'!

Modern Pocket Cleaver

After the Behemoth Folding Cleaver, why would we add another cleaver to this list? Well, it's because this pocket knife may look similar to a cleaver, but it more resembles a straight shaving razor. So.... what's in a name? The Modern Pocket Cleaver is still the modern pocket knife for the modern gentleman, offering a blade shape that you just don't see around town. Beyond the curved 3.25 inch long 3Cr13 stainless blade with elegant spine vents, you'll witness true class when you engage the spring-assisted opening. This reveals what looks to be a trailing point cleaver blade, a upwards turned curve that leaves the tip as high as or higher than the handle of the knife.

With the curved ergonomic handle and stained wooden handle scales, this classy knife can fit with any outfit or décor. But don't let the good looks fool you, because this spring assisted folding knife can cut with the best of them! At about 4.5-inches long folded and with a sturdy metal clip, this pocket knife has the sophistication of a straight razor while giving you the squared tip of a full-fledged cleaver. This knife will show that you have taste, even if that taste is for the unusual!

BONUS: Foldable Throwing Knives

Not all of our favorite knives made it to the top 6, but this next one is the top honorable mention. The Foldable Throwing Knives has a sharp dagger point on each of the two stainless steel throwing knives. And the best part is they fold. This may be the only pair of foldable throwing knives out there, and just for that, we give them a hearty salute. Then we take aim, reach back, and toss these steel throwers right to the bullseye!

Each 3Cr13 steel knife is balanced at the center, and has a tab-lock mechanism just like any folding pocket knife. Except it is sideways, and it is tasked with making sure these knives stay open as they sail down range. The design of this throwing knife set seems like the fever dream of a bladesmith, and we are so pleased they chose to follow through and make them a reality! The sharpened set comes with a sheath that has a belt loop, and in total, it weighs about 9 ounces. So you won't be pulling muscles as much as you'll be drawing attention from everyone around, sending your foldable throwing knives to the target of your choice!

]]> https:///blog/6-unusual-folding-knives What are the Best Nunchucks for You? https:///blog/best-nunchucks Size Nunchucks come in a variety of lengths. This is mostly because people come in a variety of sizes. For your basic everyday nunchaku uses, you can determine the ideal handle length by measuring the distance from the top of your palm to your elbow pit. The most common length that people choose is 12", and we have a lot of nunchucks in that particular length, like the Black Grip Aluminum nunchaku. Some of the solid metal nunchaku we make like the Aluminum Hexagon Nunchaku have ten inch handles because any longer and they would be too heavy.

We also have nunchucks that are thinner than most. These so-called speed nunchaku, such as the like the Diamond Grip Speedchucks with Cord, have a thinner diameter that allows for faster kata, but can also be good for people with smaller hands such as children.

Material

Different materials are good for different purposes. The heavier materials that we like to use like the steel in the Black Steel Nunchaku  train your body to apply more of your strength.

Don't be fooled by looking at just the materials, though. While the hexagon nunchucks we mentioned already are made out of aluminum, they're heavy because they are solid. Our competition nunchucks are also made out of aluminum, but they're hollow with thin walls, so get a similar weight as you do with traditional materials like rattan or wood might allow you to move the nunchucks faster (since they're so light), which trains you to react more quickly.

Connector

The main two types of connectors are chain and cord. The main benefit to cord connectors is that they are easy to adjust the length or repair if something goes wrong. Chain nunchucks are more durable (especially against knives), though they're a little heavier and can move a little slower. Chain and cord nunchucks feel a little differently because the handles spin with chain connectors. If you still aren't sure after reading this which connector is for you, you may need to try out each and let your body determine what you like better.

Grip

The simplest nunchaku handle is a basic round handle. But we have found that it helps to have something to inform your grip, cushion your hands, or just provide additional surface tension to keep your fingers from slipping. There are a number of options. The Black Grip Aluminum Nunchucks have a black rubberized grip. The Aluminum Hexagon Nunchaku help your grip because the hexagonal circumference more accurately reflects the segmented shape of the inside of your hand and the snug fit increases surface tension. Many of our nunchucks have machining on the grips, such as the Machined Aluminum Nunchaku. The crevices increase surface tension on the handles and also give your hand sweat a place to go to so as to avoid extra slippage when things get hot.

So there you have it. These are the considerations for your next nunchaku.

These competition bo staffs are the best light bo staffs you can get.

Take the Black Competition Aluminum Bo Staff as an example. Like all the other competition metal bo staffs, what sets this lightweight bo staff apart from other competition bo staffs is that it's made from a single piece of thin-walled aluminum (just 1/16"), yet given machined endcaps to give the appearance of being solid.

We also made sure to give all of our competition bo staffs (including the Red Competition Aluminum Bo Staff and Gold Competition Aluminum Bo Staff) a diamond pattern machined on the grips and at each end. Because the coloration comes from an anodization process on the exterior, machining this pattern into it reveals the natural silvery aluminum color beneath, which looks pretty nice. The machined texture also helps secure your hold on the staff, which becomes especially important when you are moving fast.

Each of these metal tournament bo staffs has a 1" diameter and comes in either four-, five-, or six-foot lengths. So you have five color options (including blue and green) and three length options for a total of 15 different combinations.

No matter the color and no matter the length, once you're ready for the competition bo staff, it will be ready for you.

]]> https:///blog/new-competition-bo-staffs New Lightweight Metal Nunchucks for Competitions and Demonstrations https:///blog/new-competition-nunchucks Diamond Grip Steel Nunchaku that weigh almost two pounds and give you a real workout. The workout you get from heavy nunchucks prepares you for our lightweight aluminum nunchucks because you force your body to apply more force. You quickly train your muscle memory to apply that force with all nunchucks so that when you use, for example, the Gold Competition Nunchucks, which weighs less than a pound, your kata will be faster and harder.

The logic is the same for all of these lightweight nunchucks, which differ only in color:
The design secret of these light metal nunchucks is the thin-walled design. The competition aluminum nunchucks are hollow with a 1/16" thickness and given endcaps for a solid look. Just like the steel nunchucks, as well as our Machined Aluminum Nunchaku, these lightweight colored nunchucks have been machined with a diamond pattern on the grips. This is mostly to help you keep your hold on the nunchucks by increasing surface tension, but particularly with these new competition nunchucks, there is the added effect of looking great, as the machining goes through the anodized color finish to give a shiny chrome color to the pattern.

There you have it. You can use any of these nunchucks at a martial arts competition or you can just have them to have them. Some people like collecting nice-looking weapons and if that's your thing, we've got you covered.

]]> https:///blog/new-competition-nunchucks New Competition Escrima Sticks https:///blog/new-competition-escrima-sticks

The Black Competition Escrima Many of our metal weapons are designed with training in mind. For example, the Machined Steel Escrima Stick is built like your typical escrima, but is made out of thick-walled hollow steel so that it weighs around two pounds. Just a few minutes of practice with a heavy stick like this, and you'll come to realize what a serious workout heavy weapons can provide. Practicing with heavy metal weapons like this trains your body to apply more force.

Once you've trained your body to apply extra power, you will find that you move faster and harder with lighter kali sticks. That additional force is where our new line of competition escrima sticks, such as our Black Competition Escrima come in. These metal escrimas are lightweight, being hollow and having a 1/16" inch thick walls, so that you can use your heavy-metal training to move faster and harder with your moves.

Because of the thin-walled design, it's a good idea to avoid using these escrima sticks to deliver powerful blows to people, targets, or brick walls. Not only would you likely bend the Lightweight Silver Escrima Stick with your enhanced power, but you might chip off the anodized finish of the Green or Red Competition Kali Stick. If you're going to use these competition escrima sticks for martial arts demonstrations, it's best to keep them in pristine condition for a professional look.

In addition to the colors listed above, the competition metal escrima sticks also come in Blue and Gold.

]]> https:///blog/new-competition-escrima-sticks New Expandable Bo Staffs https:///blog/new-expandable-bo-staffs 2-Piece Expandable Bo Staff, a telescoping weapon that can turn into a pair of batons. We've been meaning to feature variations on the idea of collapsible weapons and have come up with a style of expandable bo staff with smooth aluminum handles.

How does this new style of telescoping staff work? Similar to the 2-piece version, the centripetal motion forces two sets of steel shafts to come out from their spots hidden in each end of the central aluminum handle. The shafts are designed in such a way that surface tension will provide too much friction for the pieces to loosen on their own. Use the staff as a real staff for training or practicing your moves. Then, all you need to break the tension and recollapse the staff is to drive each end down into a hard surface. Internal magnets will keep the shafts from falling out (even if only one end is extended). It's a marvel of science and engineering used to make an amazing weapon that you can have in your very own hands.

This new design for the expandable bo staff comes in six different colors. Click the links below to see pictures and descriptions of each ones:



Each of these staffs comes with the option to have a five foot or six foot length.

]]> https:///blog/new-army-of-one New and Improved Converta-Chucks https:///blog/new-and-improved-converta-chucks Our efforts have innovation have paid off and it's time to reveal a new and improved version of one of our original metal weapons

The Machined Aluminum Baton Nunchaku are nunchucks that you can turn into a 23" escrima stick. Made from thick-walled hollow aluminum and machined to give you a firm grip whether you use the baton form or the nunchaku form, our converta-chucks have been an original martial arts weapon that we were proud to design and manufacture ourselves. The aluminum design and specially-constructed screw connector has passed our durability standards, especially in its baton form, but there has been one flaw: the cord.

 

With typical nunchucks, even our corded speedchucks, it's not a problem if the cord gets frayed or somehow becomes damaged because it's easy to replace an restring your nunchucks. However, this benefit hasn't been the case for the baton nunchaku. Someone could cut the paracord connector, either on accident or through an intense sparring session. Even without a particularly sharp object coming in contact with paracord, rope frays over time with use. We knew there had to be a better way. And there is: steel cable.

Of course, the steel connector is stronger than the rope. We also find that it is a better look and rolls just as easily as the rope version had. The steel connector also retracts a little easier than the cord did.

 

We are always trying to make the next big thing. Tell us what you think of the new steel connector and go ahead and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and the other social media channels to see our new weapons as they are released.

]]> https:///blog/new-and-improved-converta-chucks Two Weapons in One with the 2-Piece Expandable Bo Staff https:///blog/two-weapons-in-one-with-the-2-piece-expandable-bo-staff  We have taken a lot of time to perfect our two-piece expandable bo staff and now it's available to you, but what is it good for? What do the different configurations even mean? We're glad you asked.

This versatile staff has two forms, giving you the kind of versatility you should appreciate. The main configuration of this retractable weapon is the staff form. This collapsible bo expands to a full 62 inches from end to end. You've just got to give the collapsed form a hard twist and both the centrepital force and the friction-lock design will keep the ends in place. The innovative staff is great for all sorts of bo staff moves. The black steel staff is especially impressive to demonstrate your kata and spins.
 
The other configuration of the 2-piece staff manifests when you use the quick-connect feature to detach the two halves and create two 31" collapsible batons. Dual wielding extendable truncheons is a healthy activity. The strikes concentrate force at the tip, which creates hard impacts that cause deep pain to your target.
 
Whether you have the staff in its full-length configuration or its dual baton form, retracting it is easy. Just drive the ends into a hard surface with enough force to break the friction lock and allow each telescoping end to lock into place.
 
Connected and collapsed, the staff is suddenly only 24 inches long, which is pretty convenient for storage. You can even order the optional vinyl case or side holsters for easy transportation.
 
Here, we've made a video demonstrating the 2-Piece Expandable Bo Staff:
