As a Filipino American who has trained in weapons based Filipino Martial Arts for most of the last 20 years, I’ve never heard the term “Filipino grip” before. Curious as to the source of that term as you used it in the article. Thank you.

Good tips. I’ve been carrying a knife since I learned to shoot at 7-8yrs old. They have many uses. I used mine mostly for work or wiggling, had a couple hrs martial arts and in high school, preped for self defense. Never needed it in a scuffle. Been close but was able to avoid ever pulling it out for self defense. Got my wife a spderco but she won’t let me teach her, lol. Maybe this arrival will give her a thought. Thanks
