Go kick yourself several times and headbutt a brick wall a few times and save the rest of us the trouble of doing it!

I keep a Sjambok in a handy location on my recumbent bicycle. Very few people would even notice it, even though it is in plain sight. I love cold steel products! I have a few years of Filipino martial arts experience and I love playing with sticks & knives. I had no problem when I broke one of several Cold Steel throwing knives I own, they replaced it ASAP.

My usual choice for a sock knife when kilted in non-formal situations is my Jaguar M4 Balisong.

Went to Vegas for my wedding. For obvious FAA reasons I didn't take my knife....

I felt completely naked with out it.. While I was there, I realized how much it had become a part of my every day life.

My life, my knife....... It kinda da works, together....

You could have put it into your checked luggage with no problem. Trouble only comes when someone stuffs it in their carry-on luggage.

Don't know how much problem it would have been in Las Vegas. Should have been alright in the chapel anyway.

Of course, this the coolest item item in the Cold Steel catalog- a DVD on how to use a sarong as a weapon.

So this video is teaching how to kick butt using a piece of cloth?

Neat!

Exactly. A tube sarong is a great tool for locking, choking and throwing. I was at a seminar learning Indonesian martial arts and saw a great demo with the instructor using his sarong to do all sorts of nasty stuff to his attacker. He even showed how you can put a rock inside the sarong and use it as a whip.

He also showed how they would wear one tube sarong around the waist and use another one over one shoulder as a sling to carry stuff, it looked just like a great kilt!
