Carry a Knife for Personal Defense; When will you Use it?

[Bob Lee]

Texas????? What the hell are they thinking????? Obviously they are NOT THINKING! I can't get on the link to post my thoughts...maybe a good thing at this point in time. More than a bit p....ed off

 

[Bob Lee]

Thanks! You too.....I HAD a Microtech OTF....fantastic knife...alas, it's somewhere on a mountain trail in the Grand Tetons (fell off my pack at some point during an ascent....)

It is so sad when you lose something like that. I'm so sorry.

That sucks. At least you have the other's to fall back on.

Why was it on your pack & not on your person?

Every once in a while my wife will come to me and ask do you have your knife?
My answer is do I have my pants on? Then I have my knife. Just recently she has changed to Honey can I borrow your knife. She used to get upset when I would ask what she wanted to cut. I carry a smaller Schrade Uncle Henry Three bladed all the time. depending on the job which one I open for her. They are all sharp, but a different blade for each job. Maybe a little OCD but that is my way.

Sounds a lot like our house. I carry a Kershaw that looks like a baby Buck 110. Its sharp as all get out, and if it gets destroyed, or lost, I'm only out $20.00. It's a great little always knife.

Same here...don't let anyone borrow my spyderco but have a baby buck that's about 45 years old...still in great shape cuts great.

I always carry a knife…..no exceptions.
I have had a small amount of training, but I need more.

I generally carry a ZT or a Spyderco. I did get a OTF recently, it's really cool. Not that great of a utility knife, but a super stabber/slasher.

When will I use it? When I have to defend and have no other choice. The tactical pens are worth looking into as well

Besides my SIG RCS 1911, I carry a Kershaw 1660 Leek. It's not a big knife, but fast opening comfortable, and much better than nothing.

Yesterday I forgot to pick up my knife when I went out, a very rare thing there I needed it to cut some small rope holding a door open but had 3 knives in my truck and got one there, you never know when the need for one will happen.

Only time I feel fully clothed is when I carry my 1911, & a good quality knife.

I never leave home without one.

I always carry a knife as part of my EDC package. 90% of the time it's my Spyderco Native 5. How would I use it? As a last line of defense, obviously…if I didn't have a gun. I've had limited instruction here & there but I'd like to take a class that is specifically for bare hand & bladed skills. I know where to aim and feel I could be effective.

Nice collection!

Awesome display.

 

[Mike Galway]

I never leave home without one. They're great for opening wrappers.

Rule #9 is always carry a knife.

If in doubt remember rule#9

 

[Bob Lee]

I love old sayings here, my #1 uncle always said show me your knife and I will know you as it will say much about you

Your uncle is correct.

 

[Gunflint1]

Your uncle is correct.

A very wise "Old School" Uncle.

But a crooked Politician, has everything to fear from it's armed citizens. God Bless America.
