my wife is bound and determined not to carry a firearm (which i can understand given the fact that she wont use it if needed.) but she has agreed to let me teach her to use a knife. she will carry this with her and it will be her main line of defense, so to speak.
my question is thus:
i am well versed in knife "techniques" (BIG air quotes here as i think they are mostly useless) and train military and law enforcement in hand to hand and knife defense. these guys use their M16s or benchmades, etc... and are all full sized and heavier than she would like. i am just not up to date on the more recent products.
she has taken a shine to my gen 1 spyderco clipit endura which i may give her if she really wants. however, i would like to find her something else since i love that knife dearly. i only have a few qualifications: light weight, at least a 3.5 inch blade, folding with lock. i PREFER a finger groove or some other secure hold for her. and i dont want to spend tons of money (around 50-60 bucks would be ideal).
any suggestions?
