Re: What\'s the best knife for self-defense?
I wonder why nobody has advocated a combined-arms type of approach? This is CPF, everybody has a light handy...
I had a situation like this just last night! Gangsta type, drunk as hell, takes off his shirt and threatens me with a crap knife and his tattoed flabby out-of-shape self.
Emerson commander comes out (that thing is soooo fast), E2e unclipped w/ left hand (lives on my belt), photonic phaser-blast in the eyes, no more fight! This is good, because I don't like to wreck my stuff. Had to hear a lot of cussing in Spanglish, though.
That said, my demeanor probably did more to stop that from escalating than anything else. Instead of getting all bunched up and scared, I just gave him a "you're screwed" look and did my thing.
It's always better to avoid those situations, and nobody wants to begin a fracas with knives after getting blinded.
