Advising someone to never use a knife for self-defense is DUMB. Would a firearm or pepper spray be better? Absolutely. But not everybody has the luxury of being able to concealed carry a pistol with them, now do they? A knife is certainly better than being unarmed and using your bare hands when backed into a corner. At the very least it can make an attacker think twice and it will probably leave him/her with some nasty wounds regardless of the confrontation’s outcome.

Your long-winded disclaimer almost implies that it’s better to just let your aggressor have his way with you, even with a sharp blade in your pocket. Sounds like something that would be uttered in the regulation-addled UK. Have fun with that and let us know how that goes for you. Better carry some lube and some extra $20 bills to hand to your attacker pal!

In fact, despite using them occasionally many never give much thought about it. The knife helps you shape items such as wooden poles for instance when making stakes

So I know the value of self knife. And everything I learned from my father. A small self defense knife is a much, much helpful friend, when you go away from your home or city. That will protect you from any danger.

I carry my matriarch 2 every day. Left front pocket. Quick draw opens and closes easily. I carry 3 to 5 knives daily.

It’s a excellent knife but it’s is scary sharp, treat it with respect. Nicked myself once with it, don’t want to do that again

However, I have had extensive travels in foreign countries – like Red China, Iran, Afghanistan, Bulgaria. Sometimes, you don’t have a choice because a better tool is not available. A good, all around knife is the Buck 110 because it can be used as a yawara stick without opening. Otherwise, an inexpensive folder packed in a suitcase (and vulnerable to theft by TSA or foreign baggage inspectors) is an option. Just make sure it is legal for your destination, of course. I would also like to carry a goodsize Leatherman tool. By the way, I carried 5 folders when in Afghanistan and my late wife carried 3.
