It is rumored that it will be reprinted later this year. The latest addition to this family is an all-black version of Janichs current Wharncliffe folder design, the Yojimbo 2. If you like black and white comics, you COULD consider getting Fantagraphics two volume, 1,100 page box set ("Usagi Yojimbo Special Edition") printing the stories in black and white. If you prefer your comics in color, then this is definitely the edition to get. The PlainEdge straight cutting edge of the hollow-ground blade offers extreme cutting performance by transferring power all the way to the tip and ensures. However, the art is still occasionally a bit dodgy in these early stories, and I'd say that the color helps improve it slightly. The Yojimbo 2 s textured tan G-10 handle scales nestle into a secure, natural position in the hand, ensuring a sure grip and comfortable ergonomics for use in both utility and tactical roles. Stan Sakai would later on become one of the very best draughtsmen in business, producing page after page of perfect art that looks stunning in black and white.

This works well, establishing the character before some of the shorter early tales that follow. This time around, the first longer Usagi story (almost 100 pages), "Samurai", about Usagi's childhood and apprenticeship to an old sword master, is presented first. It's kicking everything else out of my pocket, and I can highly recommend it for EDC or self-defense.This book presents a selection of the early Usagi Yojimbo tales, now in COLOR for the first time. I resent the fact that the knife came with such a crappy clip, forcing me to buy a third-party one, but I love the knife as a whole so much I have a hard time harboring any real negative feelings. I got a Lynch Northwest deep carry clip that has worked beautifully. If you are using your knife, it will be to cut.įurthermore, in my large hands, the handle hardly sticks out at all, so using it that way, inadvisable as it may be, isn't even an option! All it meant for me was that a quarter of the handle would be sticking out of my pocket. I'll go further and say that if you draw your knife in self-defense, the idea of blunt strike "non-lethals" is ridiculous. MJ said he initially wanted that for "non-lethals", but he later saw less value in this idea. That would be the ridiculous amount of handle that sticks out with the stock clip. Designed by noted personal-defense trainer Michael Janich, the Yojimbo 2 is a pioneer in the application of the Wharncliffe blade. While it is somewhat wide in the pocket, this is not my complaint with the knife. However, it is still very thin behind the edge due to the aggressive hollow grind, making it an exceptional cutter! The stock is thick, giving the blade enough mass to easily fall shut. The compression lock is very safe and practical and makes for reliable - and fun - one-handed use. The ergonomics are very comfortable and the action is perfect. It's great for opening packages or boxes, zips through plastic or cardboard, and in general performs exceptionally as an EDC. Listening to Michael Janich's reasoning behind each design choice made me realize this was an exceptionally well-thought out tool.ĭespite its intended use, I could clearly recognize the utilitarian value of this knife, and it has certainly lived up to my expectation - and then some - in day to day use. What initially drew me to this knife was the unique design and pedigree.
