What was the ringed folder that you demonstrated with? I agree with you that a ringed knife deployed in the reverse grip is a good way to go.
Smith and Wesson. About $45-50, so obviously Chinese made.
Spring assisted opening, which is quite preferable to the Browning I used to carry, bigger ring too, much better for American sized hands.
Not perfect– my preferred idea is that for straight blade, the ring should be moved from its talon blade position to an offset to allow for ease of capping by the thumb but haha since the economics of my effort in this regard failed the market has not yet caught up with me. Also the angle of the blade in relation to the handle is not quite as I would have it.
All that said, it is close enough to my ideal , , , for now 🙂
Do know that it will arrive with the clip on the wrong side (for lefty) and that putting it on the right side will cover the slide for an additional locking mechanism.
Looks like you answered my next question about the Akita knife project. I see more ringed handled knives on the market so maybe still a possibility.
I like Sypderco’s and bought a Signet Ring kit from the Wise Men Company for my delica a few years back. It has been my summer EDC for a couple of years. Might be an option for you if you have not heard of them.
I just took a look and from what I can tell it is not for me. It seems to be intended for hammer grip– while dramatically changing the ergonomics– not what I am looking for.
I love the terms that LEOs are about “Apprehension” and Corrections Officers are about “Incarceration”.
These two well informed perspectives offer us an ideal blend from which to inform ourselves.
I would add that most big men have a hard time understanding the world view of the “not so big” but that in Dogzilla’s case though by most criteria he most certainly is a big man during his years of CO work in Hawaii, he regularly dealt with Samoans, Maori, and others next to whom he was small. In conjunction with and on top of his real world experiences with the dark, this gives an unusual breadth to his perspective. If ever you have a chance for quiet conversation with him ask him about his “Green Mile” prisoner.
