@Nikwoac perhaps you just lack imagination, think of the damage caused by a bullet hitting your pelvic bone. Its likely a lethal strike. With a shattered pelvic bone any movement just lacerates you internally and there is nothing that can be done for you.

“In your publics.” I’m dying over here…. In your publics. That’s a good one. Woooo. That joke was wearing high knee shorts and white new balance. Deadly….. with those Dad jokes!
At 4 minutes, when you guys were demonstrating the fight, I was blown away and could see the reason why the blade was up. Makes all the scene in the world. 🤔

The amount of violence these men have witnessed an executed to think of some this stuff blows my mind sometimes Really really thankful to have men like u guys fighting for the right things awsome awsome content man love every bit of it
Good stuff! So many people don’t understand the real issue of not being able to obtain a concealed carry license in certain states. They may even question why you are posting videos about carrying a knife when you should just carry a gun as a primary. There are a lot of us out here in States that do not recognize shall issue licenses. We have to be interviewed, and scrutinized to show reasonable cause under the law to be issued a CCW. That said thank you for expanding your content beyond the norm of CCW. PS: Must of those Gun Fu masters who fixate on their firearm as being their primary method of defense. Most cases when they’re in a clinch all they’re thinking about is getting to their gun. Meanwhile the other guy is busy doing damage, the person does not know how to manage the damage to give them the space, and opportunity to get their concealed firearm. Love you guys! God bless! 🙏
Such great chemistry. It’s scary to think that these two charming dudes, joking around, having fun, are able to turn into complete demons if needed. As for Mr. Douglas, that dude legit scares me. He’s the dude who’s sitting in your house when you turn the lights on and you know your time has come. Great video, eager to pick up a new blade.
First off absolutely Love the channel. That being said i would love to shake tour hand, you truly are a Gentleman ànd a scholar. I would also like to say to you Craig you are indeed a master Ninja warrior and Absolutely Awesome Guy that id love to shale tour hand as well.... that would mean a lot to this old man. Also a brief moment of silence as we observe Veterans all around the world... God Bless each and every one of you outstanding people. Stay safe God Bless.
Did NOT unclench through the entire video. I always preferred draw-cuts in grappling-ranged situations, and Shivworks definitely got it right! (Oh... and thumbs up for Mr. Dingle glitching in The Matrix at 7:16 and 9:06.)
Knives are useless without grappling training. Get trained! And where are the Second Amendment people when it comes to knives?! They are still Arms. Restrictions on daggers and doubled edged blades, blade length etc are violations of our 2A!
@@TheAZchambers you miss the mark on my comment, in the context of knife fighting, defending yourself with a knife without combat training is indeed useless. If anything it could be more of a liability. Getting cut or stabbed in a knife fight is an inevitability, the goal is to not get cut or stabbed as little as possible. Maybe being a black belt would help . Which is my point...
Hey John, loving the content! Do you think that we’ll ever see a patent WPS workout or physical conditioning video? Craig is awesome! Love seeing him on the channel.
I used to cringe at the angles johns ankles and knees would be at during transitions in and around cover, but I started doing some of the excercise from kneesovertoes guy consistently and my mobility is way better now. Edit:spelling

This stuff is why my dad taught me how to avoid getting into a knife fight in the first place. Rule #1: Never go into a big city for any reason, ever. Rule #2: Be aware of your surroundings. Rule #3: Walk and move with confidence; bad guys avoid people who look like they have no fear. Rule #4: Don't antagonize people, especially insulting their mother. Rule #5: Don't ever try to move in on another man's woman. Rule #6: Never argue with a mad woman in the kitchen or anywhere with sharp objects readily available. Those are the main 6 rules to avoiding a knife fight according to my dad. I'm 36, have never been in a knife fight, and I don't plan to ever be in one. I still carry a knife and gun anyway. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
@@kunfugunman Daddy Daddy Daddy, we found him brother! Bounce me on you knee papa, I called dips. Me first, me first! Do you dare mount daddy's knee after I just called dips brother? You better cease reverse cowgirl'ing papa's knee right now my brother. For 1: it is doing the right thing 2: we could get biblical like Cain and Able, I believe their quarrel spawned from the same thing. Don’t suggest we share brother. This isn’t mommy, we cannot both feed simultaneously brother. While yes, daddy has two knees, bouncing two of us requires far more energy than he can afford to spend. Get off at once brother. You sit upon my knee. And yet you remain, with a smirk no less like a cocky king upon his throne. Have it your way brother, just know that Heavy Lies the Crown. My kingdom for a horse.
Great knife design. Love them. Now to add more to my collection... You both play off each other so well. Great to see friends like you to doing that!!! Thanks for the video. Greatly appreciated it!!!!
Would love to train with Craig. Combining knife usage with grappling is huge. I usually carry two (or three knives) with my ESEE Izula 2 on my waistline accesible to both hands as I heard him teach years ago wity the Clinch Pick. I still follow Shiv Works on YT, & really need to grab one of his knives. Thanks John for having him back. Still using the Clinch Pick in a vehivle is amazing content.
Craig has made me actually desire to carry knives for things other than utility. Your reasoning is sound in practice and reality. Definently a big name in self defense will be remembered.
He’s absolutely right about state laws. Look them up. As a former Police Officer, during our advanced academy, we spent a lot of time going over the law regarding dirks, daggers, etc. I was a police officer in a bigger city setting. It may be different in rural areas, but it’s best to know the laws. It was staggering to find out how many cops hadn’t read the Constitution or Declaration of Independence.
Exactly. An example would be like Illinois where state law says you can own a double-edged dagger or even an OTF knife with the same blade as long as your intent is to not use it to harm others. However, in Chicago those blades are a no-no because...Chicago.
Then ignore them and do not comply, the second amendment is not limited to guns. Most cops in municipal settings around cities don't give one crap about the constitution or anything. The majority of sheriff's do however, and most of them don't care until you commit a crime with a weapon.
Holy moly this thing is brutal . . . I already feel bad for the unsuspecting fool that might one day go after this Craig dude unawares _"imma jus' rough and mug dis mudaf-a a lil' bit"_ - only to emerge from the scuffle as a pile of chicken strips.
I don't suppose too many people are stupid to go after him look at the way he carries himself. Criminals can tell that kind of person is a stay away kind of person.
@@TheShanesousley there isn't logic behind it. I did some brief searching on some states. I don't see too many states against double bladed knives. My state of Indiana is ok with it. Thankfully
Years ago I saw a Guarded Bowie knife on pawn stars on the antique roadshow from the Civil War and they were explaining why the blade was sharpened on the wrong side of the guard. Goes to show you very few ideas are actually new ones.
Now I can see how deadly I can be with a knife, but if not, I can infringe so much pain in somebody that eventually will stop trying. Good video as usual
You should definitely do a knife deployment vid on these products. Concealment vs. accessibility in a pinch. Close quarters hands-on is difficult there at the moment. Training aside, hand to hand and grappling is extremely dynamic, and fighting your t-shirt to pull a tool can complicate the situation to folly...and even death due to preoccupation with tool deployment. I suppose the same rules apply with a knife there as they would with a pistol. Situational awareness, creating space...etc.
Awesome video. Bought a Shiv Works from WPS about a year ago. Cut myself with it the first day (forgot I bought the double edged one). Love the thing. Carry it everywhere with me.
I did 3 day class with Craig, he is as nice in person than you can see on videos, best class I even did ( I'm 54 and I did a lot of class and training )
Craig has made me realize that I'd 100% rather die by gunshot than by knife wounds.
it's a horrible way to go, getting carved up. I'm beside ya, would rather take a lead enema over being a carved turkey
@Nikwoac perhaps you just lack imagination, think of the damage caused by a bullet hitting your pelvic bone. Its likely a lethal strike. With a shattered pelvic bone any movement just lacerates you internally and there is nothing that can be done for you.
Knives can be brutal.
I think I will deploy Runjitsu for all possible instances! I'd prefer to die from old age! Lol
Lmbo. The video is great as usual. The cat. The cat stole the show. 😂🤣🇺🇸🗽🦅👍🏼💪🏼
Not even a minute in and allready a dad joke. This will be great
Even in "simulation" those cuts look SOOOOO devastating! IF you can pull it off I can see it giving a bad guy a "BURNING" desire to leave you alone.
2 dudes laughing and playing with stabby things, doesn't get any better....thanks for the always awesome content. Happy Veterans Day all.
Shots fired lol John calling out high prices on knives. I love these guys
Craig Douglas and Ryan Cleckner content is a big reason that I subscribe to WPSN. Even an old warrior can pickup valuable insight from them.
Cleckner is a totally different animal than the average long range shooter.
This is why 1 always avoids trouble if possible.
Appreciate Mr. Dingle for making an appearance in this one. Solid guy
Truly a cameo I didn't know I needed
A good slogan for these knives would be "The edge you need." Great video! Thank you John for bringing Craig to explain this!
