Thanks Airyu for your reply. I was surprised by Harley's tone but I guess I offended him with my comments/humor. I was not comparing Sayock to Vonak's material, I just have limited exposure with knife material and this is my frame of reference.
I am still surprised that no one addressed my legal questions/considerations. I almost think it would be more legally defensible to carry (illegally) a concelaed handgun rather than 5 knives and have to use it. I think it would be easier t argue an interest in self protection than if I was found with multiple fighting knives on my person or detectives recovered 5 blades with my fingerprints on them at a crime scene. It seems that Sayock emphasizes drawing the knives from different positions anyway. If I have the time to draw, I would rather draw my .45 ONCE and make you rethink bringing a knife to a gunfight!
Though I know it is not this simple, would people agree that Sayock differs in that it 1) offers a "different" way of getting close, 2) has a "blade oriented targeting system"--geesh, sounds like a government training manual 3) offers first aid training 4) teaches knife throwing (my guess is that other philipino systems do this too, 5) seems to cost alot to train in (though if it is worth it I would do it).
