Girls uses Gladius strike bezel to good advantage

[Lee1959]

Just heard from a friend of mine about a nice story. He gave his daughter a Gladius for Christmas. She is half owner in a small cafe on a Greek Island and her girl partners Russian boyfriend wanted to be let into the partnership. Well I guess he bullied her a lot trying to get his way and when she did not give in, he actually pulled a knife and tried to "convince" her by brandishing it.

After a half dozen strikes with the strike bezel to the face and head and then a bit of the boot while he was down cowering I guess her father (who happened to be visiting) ran in and saved the poor bugger. He was sent in a rather less than prinstine condition back to his parents in Russia on the first plane, lol. Good for her...

Wow, good story. What kind of man pulls a knife on a girl? Well glad she took care of herself with that SB, good call dad.

Guy with knife got beaten up by a girl with flashlight, sounds like there's really no need to pull out the flashlight to begin with. She can probably just slap him into submission.

Go strike bezels!

It's too bad she didn't have a handgun available; he wouldn't be victimizing anyone else in the future.

Badass story!

Wow. Good for her! :goodjob:

I think I saw that girl in a two page spread in the 2008 surefire catalog.

So this moron actually pulls a knife to intimidate a girl?....that's amazing. He's lucky he is still alive after such behavior.

It was probably the fact that he flashed a knife but wasn't willing to use it that got his *** kicked into next week.

He's lucky he didn't run into a mousy little girl I knew who carried a steak knife in a brown paper bag in her coat. A half dozen hits with that would have been ugly.

She would probably be charged for manslaughter...

knife fight at night? one of the Maglite custom SS bezels come to mind, on a 6D

I didn't know the Gladius had a strike bezel option.

Have no idea really, no way I would pay that much for a flashlight, and would not really recognize one if I saw it. I will stick with my prefered Inovas, lol.

From what I understand the light caused a bit of damage strike bezel or not however .

Like others I imagine the punk figured he could intimidate and had no will to use it, so he paid for it. I guess she has had some training over the years in self defense.

I still hate Strike Bezels and this isn't really an example of their usefulness. If it's true the guy is so limp she could have been armed with a croissant and still injured him.

Not manslaughter to shoot a person threatening with a knife. Knife is a deadly weapon.
