Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary purpose of knives for the Military Arms Channel host?

The host views knives primarily as utilitarian tools for everyday tasks such as opening boxes and cutting tape. While acknowledging their potential, he emphasizes their practical, daily use over being defensive weapons.

What is the main advantage of the Emerson Commander knife?

The Emerson Commander features a 'wave hook' on its spine, designed to catch on the pocket during drawing, allowing for automatic blade deployment. This makes it exceptionally fast to open.

Are OTF automatic knives reliable for self-defense according to the review?

The host suggests OTF automatics like the Benchmade Infidel can be unreliable for self-defense if debris or obstructions interfere with the blade's deployment mechanism during critical moments.

Which knife is recommended for travel to states with automatic knife restrictions?
