    I hope that your pants don't go down to your ankles when you deploy your belt weapon. :)

    Serrated or non-serrated in a defensive folder?

    It is on the back of my firearms license. So I guess this doesn't apply to private gatherings. It also says "offense and defense", not "offense or defense". Does that mean that a knife made just for defense is legal? That's how I'm reading it...

    Armed to the teeth? Or just being prepared.

    Alright. Yesterday I was out at lunch with my co-workers and as I was sitting there eating I noticed a guy with a knife clipped to his pocket. No big deal, really. It's always good to notice that kind of thing, sort of an FYI. Then he turned around and I saw that he had another knife in...

    Sai

    You're right. Instead, I'll teach you how to use a short length of bamboo to fight off a ravenous beast in a dream and then I will disappear into the trees. From that dream you will awake and invent the ASP from spare parts in your garage.

    Why a Tanto?

    I'd shoot the tires out. It really worked well for the A-Team (an elite mercenary and philanthropic ex-military unit) even as early as the 1980's. Thus, the effectiveness of this technique has historical veracity as well. Seriously though, I have no idea why it's called a "tanto" tip...

    Rust Resisting Options?

    CLP works well, but it attracts dust like a magnet. Which sucks because your knife is usually clipped in your pocket. Try Birchwood-Casey Sheath. It's about $4 a can at Wal-Mart in the gun aisle.

    Serrated or non-serrated in a defensive folder?

    The biggest advantage to serrations is that they make your blade more dangerous and painful. A straight edge will not inflict the sudden ripping pain that serrations can cause. Pain is what will cause an attacker react to your immediate defense, and that is what you want if you are defending...

    Knife picking

    All butterfly knives are typically pieces of crap. Even the very nice and expensive butterflies are not made well enough for me to have any real confidence using one to defend myself. Too many moving parts to handle in moments of stress, and the moving parts are exactly what makes butterfly...

    Sai

    Sai are good as traditional martial arts weapons, and studying them is important to preserving a part of martial arts history. But as far as modern, practical application goes, the sai are not the best blunt weapons available to us.

    sword canes?

    Sword canes are more appropriate as collectibles. They're also probably illegal to carry publically in most areas of the United States. They are also often poorly constructed. You're better off carrying a solid, well-made walking cane constructed of a hardwood and using it as a blunt...

    self defense at a close range

    Gus Dddysgrl, On the issue of unarmed self-defense... Typically, the average-build man can out-muscle and overpower the average-build woman. I'm not being sexist, and I'm not putting down women. Can martial arts help? Yes, to an extent. It also depends on the martial art that the...

    If you haven't done so, I highly recommend that all of you read the GlockTalk posts by RoadRep in the link posted above. Try putting yourselves in his shoes, and re-evaluate what you currently think will happen if you ever have to use deadly force in defense of your life or the lives of your...
