Looking forward to those.
I've never owned a push dagger...I'll be interested in hearing your impressions, T.

I'm digging it.
I'm wondering what the attachment on the Kydex sheath is?

I guess the usage would be similar to how one might deploy the Perrin "griffe".

Lots of guys use cold steel urban edge's which are like $25 everywhere. Usually behind a mag pouch.
Not a fan personally. Especially for concealed carry, a proper blade is perfectly suitable.
Are these Chinese or US made? Thanks.
OK, Paul. Thanks.
Similar, but not exactly.
While I haven't gotten hold of one yet and my experience with punch daggers is limited, this would seem to work more with a straight punch, twist and rip down. The Griffe is probably more versatile though.
There's a video somewhere out there (Watson's instagram maybe?) where he very easily pushes through a tire with this punch dagger and I would think that the angle of the blade to the hand of the griffe might not make that action as easy to do.
As always, I could be wrong.
Definitely interested in this! Thanks!
Joe and I talked about this a couple of weeks ago, during a break at a shooting class.
I'm planning on picking one up with the drone, just to test and practice with. I'm also going to bring it to classes, and get ideas and feedback from my instructors.
Joe is a solid dude, and I hope he's doing good business at Blade in Atlanta this weekend.
I remember rumour of these, i'm way in; thanks for the heads up.
Me? I'm going to get two and a trainer.

I had a brief PM chat with Craig last night. I'm in.
SouthNarc, can we expect a similar price point to the production Clinch Pick? Do you have a number for the size of this batch/how many available upon release? Finally, there was an Instagram video (I think) that showed a sheath for this with a velcro'd on clip for ride height adjustment -- is that what's going to be shipping with the knives?
Moving on. I dig this push-dagger design, saw it at EWO back in Feb. Both the pre-production version and the Joe Watson custom version. Both feel great in the hand and don't suffer from the torquing in the hand that a lot of push-type knives do. The scales are a bit large and it will take up some real-estate on the belt line, but if you can conceal a handgun AIWB then this won't be a problem.
FYI, to the person who asked, my understanding is that YES the factory sheath clip will be velcro-attached and height adjustable. That's what Craig said their plan was back in Feb. I hope that is still true.
Unfortunately, no one pressure tested it. So I can't say for sure. Craig had it with him as part of the various demonstrators. So I got a few minutes to play with it and feel the weight/shape test the grip a bit, but nothing like a full-on test. I'm going to try to get to ECQC later this year, if so I should have a trainer by then to pressure test a little bit during EVOs.
Yes, I meant to mention that. I tried "ripping" the clip loose from the velcro by pulling down on the clip like you might if you were drawing IWB. NO budging. It should be very solid. Time will tell how well access will be when entangled (shouldn't be any worse than a handgun), but I don't know if it will be as fast and smooth as the CP. It's so hard to block/stop the draw from the horizontal belt-line of a CP.
For folks who have been running the PD any comments on access?
3M Dual Lock ain't no joke. That stuff really holds.
Just a reminder to the non LEO members. Make sure this is legal to carry in your state/area.
Ohio's knife laws are ridiculous in their lack of defining anything and as knives are not covered under state concealed carry licenses and there is no state preemption regarding knives there is literally no way to determine if any knife from a Victorinox Solitaire to a Spyderco Civilian would be considered "Any deadly weapon other than a handgun" and thereby not legal to conceal.
IANAL, but just about everywhere I have lived have had special provisions about "push" and "punch" daggers making them a legal no-no for daily carry. I used to roll with several of the CS versions, but gave them up after seeing the legal ramifications in several different jurisdictions.
Not sure why that is, but the "push dagger" appears to be the "evil black rifle" of the knife world - to the unwashed. Of course, a SWITCHBLADE Push Dagger would be a weapon of mass destruction in those same circles...
The legalities are also what I'm worried about. Obviously not an issue for LEOs, but civvies are a different story. What muddies the waters is that John McPhee's SOB Punch Dagger won the NRA's Golden Bullseye award this year, and it would be a little odd for the NRA to endorse something that wasn't legal for civilians to carry.
When I was traveling across the country, I made a point to look at the knife laws in states I'd be traveling through. Most of the states I looked at specifically prohibited punch/push daggers or were worded vaguely enough (seriously, WTF counts as a "dirk knife" in 2017?) to where I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying some of my knives as a non-LEO. Thankfully, my state is no longer one of those.
FWIW, my out-of-state carry knife is a waved Endura for that reason.
