Dual Bladed CQC Carry
This is an edged weapons carry method equipping 2 of the same or similar type of knives, strategically on your person for close quarters combat.
Whether as a backup or primary weapon, knives have an exceptional ‘carry size’ / ‘damage potential’ ratio.
They are relatively compact yet can induce situationally inexhaustible damage. Which make them ideal to equip more than one per on-person EDC.
For a full service loadout, a dual firearm carry option is ideal but not so much for lighter, more concealed loadouts that can be considered a simplified everyday carry kit. Again, due to their size, mass and shape, knives work for dual carry in considerably more scenarios, for user carryability and concealability.
However, that doesn’t mean a dual bladed CQC carry wouldn’t be effective while also equipping a firearm.
When equipping 2 knives for this concept, both should be the same model or similar in size or type. This is because they are in a sense, both the primary weapon. For example, a primary specifically and individually for the left and right hand – equipped simultaneously.
In the photo example, a Microtech Dirac and a Microtech Ultratech is equipped, a 3 and 3.4 inch blade, respectively – both double action automatics.
Each knife is equipped on the body in the same but opposing spots, the left and the right. Positioned in a way that each hand can reach and deploy the “reserved” knife in the most optimal way.
