That said, if it's all I've got, it's better than harsh words, and can certainly do the trick.
If you truly plan to use it for self defense , go with the longest fixed blade you can legally carry ( open or concealed - your choice ) . When the crap hits the fan , and gross motor skills go out the window , getting that folder open when you need it will be very challenging.
And yes I have seen folders with the waves , flippers , etc....you are still at a disadvantage if you have to unfold it before you can use it.
Folders are carried because they are more convenient , not because they are more effective.
Never bring a Knife to a gun fight.
And you don't want it hair whittling razor sharp either
It's more important to know what your doing with, it than what the tool is.
The modern martial arts dojos don't really give good training on knife tactics...The Philipino martial arts are better for bladed training.
18'' Bowie is always a winner then. You can actually hid behind it when they start shooting.Gotta run with what you brung.
Nothing is everything all of the time; guns aren't death rays that guarentee victory...
Brownie Pop opening
That I highly doubt sir. Don't discount my views merely because I prefer quality over crap.99% of what you think is important in a knife, is not.
That I agree with 100%.If you don't already have it in your hand, ready to use, forget it. Youré done. Forget all this bull hockey about waved blades, brownie pops, assited opening, or any other stuff from holyweird movies or knife magazines.
I agree with that with the exception , of my thought being " assume the worst and be ready to avoid it if possible ".Life on the street is very much like life in a prison yard. You have to keep your eyes open for clues, watch the people around you or approaching you, and if someone you don't know is trying to get close to you, assume the worst and be ready to meet it. And forget everything the knife magazines have told you.
I think everyone who visits this forum would agree with that 100%. However, the OP wrote this thread in the Non-Firearms section specifically regarding a knife for self-defense, not a handgun.Given the option , apply liberal doses of 230gr attitude adjusters until the threat has ceased.
