Italian Switchblade Stiletto and Other Outlawed Weapons
March 20th, 2025
This week on Kombativ's YouTube channel, we’re diving into a fresh batch of tactical weapons straight from the warehouse, including the sleek Stealth Switchblade Stiletto and the fierce Wolverine Hand Claws. These new arrivals are packed with unique features that’ll catch any martial arts enthusiast's eye - trust us, you won’t want to miss the action! Watch the video below to see us put these bad boys to the test and discover which one reigns supreme.
Kombativ.com is back with another exciting episode, showcasing five standout weapons that just hit our shelves. From discreet switchblades to rugged tactical hatchets, this lineup has something for every self-defense aficionado or gear collector. Let's break down the highlights from the video, sprinkle in some extra context, and show why these tools are a must-see for martial arts fans and survivalists alike.
First up, the Stealth Switchblade Stiletto stole the show with its classic yet menacing vibe. This isn't just any pocket knife - it's a nod to the 1950s Italian youth gangs who popularized stilettos, later cemented as icons in films like The Godfather. With a 5-inch spear-point blade (6 inches if the cops measure it!), this switchblade extends to a hefty 13 inches overall. The spring-loaded action is smooth, complete with a safety lock for that authentic switchblade feel. We love the sturdy steel housing paired with composite scales - possibly phenolic - offering a dense, grippy texture. At just 7.1 ounces, it's light enough for discreet carry but packs a serious punch. Check the video to see it snap into action - it's a perfect blend of style and utility for everyday carry enthusiasts.
Next, we've got the Cord-Wrapped Knuckles, available in black, silver, and gold finishes. These knuckle dusters bring a fresh twist to a classic self-defense tool, featuring a paracord wrap for added comfort and shock absorption. Weighing in at 5.6 ounces and likely crafted from a zinc alloy, they're lightweight yet durable, with a 1-inch finger diameter that fits most hands snugly. The angled striking surface adds extra bite, making them ideal for quick, powerful swipes or punches. In the video, we tested them on a dummy - wood chips flew, proving their effectiveness! Historically, knuckle dusters have been a go-to for close-quarters combat, and these modern upgrades make them a solid pick for martial artists training in real-world scenarios. Just a heads-up: always check your local laws before carrying these!
Then there's the Desert Tactical Hatchet, a full-tang beast built for the rugged outdoors. Made from 3CR13 stainless steel with a stonewashed finish, this hatchet resists corrosion and sharpens easily - perfect for desert survivalists or campers. The ABS scales, textured like G10, offer an ergonomic grip in both forward and reverse holds, complete with gimping for thumb control. A sharp pommel spike doubles as a pry bar or glass breaker, while the blade's versatility shines for chopping or slashing. At a balanced size (though not ideal for throwing due to its grip design), it's a practical tool for martial artists who dabble in bushcraft. Watch the video to see why we're obsessed with its multi-use potential! The Stealth Combat Kukri brings a taste of Nepal to the lineup. With a 9-inch blade (10 inches overall, 16 inches total length), this kukri blends machete-like power with a recurve edge, historically favored by Gurkha warriors for both farming and fighting. Weighing 13 ounces, it's got a satisfying heft, and its 3CR13 or 440 stainless steel construction ensures easy sharpening - key for outdoor enthusiasts. The ergonomic grip, complete with a finger guard and lanyard hole, feels great in hand, even in reverse grip. We love Buckshot's affordable yet quality designs, and this kukri's sharp tip and durable nylon sheath make it a standout. See it in action in the video - it's a tactical gem for any collection. Finally, the Wolverine Hand Claws claw their way in as the wild card. Sold individually, these 9-inch claws (5-inch blades) are forged from stainless steel with a black finish and wooden scales. They're sharp - really sharp - delivering solid slashes in our tests, though they dug into the hand a bit without a glove (pro tip: pair them with tactical gloves for comfort). At 8.2 ounces, they're light enough for cosplay or display but sturdy enough to hold up under light striking. While more of a novelty than a practical weapon (and illegal to carry in most places!), they're a fun nod to comic book lore. Watch the video to see them tested - and yes, a little blood was shed for the cause! These weapons aren't just tools - they're a bridge between martial arts training, historical craftsmanship, and modern self-defense. Whether you're perfecting your technique, building a survival kit, or just geeking out over cool gear, Kombativ.com has you covered. We'd love to hear your thoughts - drop a comment below the video with your favorite pick, and head to Kombativ.com to explore these and more.
