Recently I have been engaged in a debate on the offensive use of an edge weapon. It has long been my belief that there are plenty of knife systems out there with great concepts but they often add in nonfunctional student retention filler and an elitist subculture mentality combined with sub par application and limited conceptual understanding of the reality of a confrontation and to me the end result is that they often become relatively ineffective for actually enhancing your ability to survive a violent confrontation. After much thought on this topic I decided to put the Knife Subculture ideology to the test.
