I carry a Kershaw Blackout Tanto blade, SHARP, nice knife, works absolutely amazing, when in doubt, pack a Kershaw, I in no way regret getting a Kershaw...
I'm not thinking of getting close enough to a BG where a knife would be effective.
A blade; not cowardly, but effective, can cause the most determined assailant to back off and give you some distance.
#1.) Justifying stabbing someone (which you would likely have to do more than once), when you have a gun. (Why didn't you just shoot them?) And, though it is silly, we as a society have a more judgmental view of using a knife than using a gun. (also, keep in mind, if you are using a knife, that means your assailant likely also had a knife.... so why didn't you just run?). All things to consider in court.
#2.) In order to use a knife, you need to practice using a knife. And learning to use a knife is an artform that takes years. (It takes months of intense training just to be barely competent). There are many styles of knife fighting. Basically, it's alot more involved than using a gun.
Should someone attack me with a knife, I will have to do my best, and resort to my firearm.
I don't think that a defense-type knife is necessary if you're carrying a gun. Maybe if you weren't confident in your semi-automatic's reliability it would make sense, but it would also make a lot more sense to just buy a better gun in that situation.
What is a "vay-cay"?
Gerber Legendary Blades is proud beyond description to introduce our first assisted opening knife. The FAST Draw relies on our proprietary new blade opening concept—Forward Action Spring Technology— that's so lightning-quick, so pleasingly easy to open with just one hand, its already drawing a lot of attention among knife folks everywhere.
