![]() Most systemized knife training is conducted in a dueling format, where two equally matched practitioners square off and practice attacks, defenses, and counters against each other. Reverse-edge tactics are generally not the tools of choice if you’re engaged in a knife-versus-knife scenario at medium to long range (aka a duel), which is the reason this method is often frowned upon by edged-weapon practitioners. By all accounts, the purpose of using a reverse-edge methodology is exclusively for close-quarters confrontations, where cutting away from your adversary is the primary objective. Over the past several years, a few well-recognized edged weapons experts, including James Keating, Craig Douglas, and Scott Babb, have brought reverse-edge knife fighting tactics to the forefront of modern combatives through their own highly developed, reverse-edge-based curriculums. Though not unique to the Filipino blade arts, the art of Kali (particularly the Pekiti Tirsia system) has been most widely credited for the introduction of this unorthodox use of the knife. The word pikal is a Visayan dialect word that literally means “to rip.” In the tribal fighting arts of the Philippines, this name is generally used to describe the method of holding a knife in a reverse grip (aka icepick grip) with the edge inverted, facing toward the user. A basic understanding of reverse-edge theory, strategies, and mechanics, as presented here, will place you ahead of the power curve and help you make it home to your family if you should ever have to resort to your knife as a means of defense. ![]() In my experience of researching, training, and teaching the use of edged weapons, I’ve found that the use of the knife in a reverse-edge configuration is the most effective method when it comes to straightforward, no-nonsense, close-quarters combat.

If you have a check valve that’s plugged or worn out, you can lose flow from one head of the pump, cutting flow in half. Use rubber vibration isolation mounts to dampen the impact and make sure all fittings are tightened. If a pump isn’t properly secured to the equipment, it can cause components to rattle or bang around. Using a pulse hose can help to minimize pulsations due to its ability to dissipate energy and built-up pressure, smoothing the flow of liquids. Pulsation can occur in hoses that are too weak, too long, too rigid, or too soft, causing a drumming sound. Pump Drive ProblemĪ slapping sound may indicate a problem with the pump drive or power supply. If a plunger slot is loose, each time the cam goes around it will impact the plunger more, causing noise. Pumptec pumps do not use an oil bath and can run in any orientation and be stored on their sides, so no worries. The resulting low oil levels will cause the pump to wear out and could even cause the connecting rod to blow out the top of the pump. Many pumps use an oil bath that will drain out if the pump is not kept upright. The pump will knock like a car engine, especially with the change of speed/load and the starting and stopping of the motor. Water contamination could cause connecting rods to open up. A lack of preventative maintenance or a dirty environment can cause issues and even lead to a loss of lubricating grease. Particulates in the lubricant could scratch and damage a pump system, resulting in noise. Proper maintenance can help avoid this issue. If a pump is nearing the end of its life, the plunger slot and cam bearing that’s attached to the end of the motor can wear out. Likewise, any hose that’s not routed in a way that keeps it away from the walls and housing could cause issues. If you have a big plastic housing that has a built-in tank, or hoses that run loosely along the floor of the plastic housing and you place a pump on top of it, it will likely result in excessive noise. Check all the connections regularly to verify a proper seal. Similarly to cavitation, it can ruin a pump if not corrected. Air leaks in inlet plumbing can create very loud noises. If a pump’s seals are going bad, cracked, or dried out, they can form leaks. Likewise, water hammering, a single implosion of a large gaseous bubble or air pocket might sound like a loud bang. Cavitation or Water HammeringĪ rattling sound inside a pump may be caused by damaging cavitation, resulting from imploding internal gaseous bubbles due to restricted flow, improper pressure, or other issues. Noises that begin suddenly or increase in volume over time might indicate one of the following problems and be a sign that it’s time to do some critical pump maintenance to achieve pump noise reduction. Some plunger pump noise is acceptable, but there are times when high noise levels indicate that something is wrong. Commercial high pressure pumps used for agricultural, commercial cleaning, pest control, and other industries have a lot of moving parts. ![]() ![]() CTCSS/ DCS abilities with search, however has no autosave or keypress save feature.Scan rate 75 channels per second (non trunking).Display and keypad backlighting can be turned on or off independently.Easy-to-read back display and back lit keypad.SD Preprogrammed with entire USA Radioreference database, additionally can use High Capacity Secure Digital Cards as long as 32kB memory block clusters are used. ![]() Simple display option will display object and playlist only, or disabled for more detailed display.Signal Stalker II Near field frequency capture.Navigate using the button operations to get to the play list set.

In Atlanta, Rick, Daryl, Glenn, and T-Dog cut through the chains on the stairwell with the bolt-cutters and emerge onto the roof where they find on the ground the hacksaw beside Merle's severed hand as well as the bloodied handcuffs hanging from the pipe above. They decide to look for Merle first for being closer and then they would recover their weapons. In Atlanta, Rick and the others open a gap in a metal fence and enter the city. Near them, Shane and Carl try to hunt frogs with a net and a bucket while playing around splashing the water. In the quarry lake, Andrea, Amy, Carol, and Jacqui do laundry and discuss the division of labor. When the group arrives in Atlanta, they park beside a railroad and continue their mission on foot.Īt the camp, Lori asks Dale if he saw Carl and he replies that he was at the lake with Shane. In their tent, Lori frets about Rick but Carl assures her that if everything that happened to his father until that moment did not kill him, it is because nothing can do it anymore. Shane then hands Rick the last four bullets from his revolver and wishes him good luck. Carl tells his father that he's okay with his reasons for going back to Atlanta and they hug goodbye.īefore leaving, Rick and T-Dog make a deal with Dale for a set of bolt-cutters in exchange for parts of the van.
