I'm not good enough to deal with a knife attack. I'll let that be known in the beginning. That being said, here are some general thoughts I have on the use of blades in a "situation"
It's good to carry a knife. They are excellant equalizers in the event you are attacked by a group. The use of a knife is also considered justified in the event 4 or 5 thugs want to beat you into the pavement. At least that is my understanding.
I seriously doubt anyone here will ever be in a knife on knife fight. They don't happen like that. If someone pulls a knife on you, you wil either be:
A. dead because he wanted to kill you in the first place and you never saw the knife coming. Or
B. much better off picking up a brick or any other weapon of opportunity as you will probably be dead if you go for your knife after you see his drawn.
I still prefer handguns, but they're not the best tool for every situation.
I have no idea what WD is talking about.--Royal Dragon
