Some interesting reading on "knife fighting" and why I think carrying a knife for defense is a bad idea and just asking for trouble'.
Choosing a knife to carry
Marc "Animal" MacYoung on knife fighting
A crazy amount of good information on all sorts of other things on that site too.
One of the things that is important is YOU must know what self-defense really is, NOT what you think it is. Acting on what you think self-defense is while holding an item will get you into deep trouble. Weapons are like power tools, mistakes happen faster and when they do, they are bloody.
I carry a knife at all times. It could be used for self defense, I suppose, but my .44 is just so much more impressive.
Just curious what people's thoughts on this are.
If you carry a gun instead, that's a whole other issue and getting into a big discussion about it here probably isn't worth anybody's time other than a "no, I carry a gun".
Me personally, I think it's a good way to escalate a situation and get yourself severely injured and or killed when you otherwise probably wouldn't have.
There is no such thing as a knife "fight".
The only reason I bring it up is because I just tucked a pocket knife away into my new bag I got to carry my lunch/water and other items to and from work. Strictly utility. I also have a small key chain box cutter that I use while actually working since I break down boxes and cut plastic so frequently. I was just curious how misinformed people are about the wisdom of carrying a knife for self defense.

Unless you live in an excessively dangerous area (like some parts of the south side of Chicago), I think it's completely ridiculous to carry a gun or a knife on you at all times.
Personally, I don't think it's a bad idea to keep a gun/knife at home for self defense, but I think carrying a weapon around with you is only encouraging the possibility for bad situations to escalate into worse ones.
Fortunately, 99.9% of America is not a war-zone, so lets keep it that way. Carrying around weapons is excessive and unnecessary.

A very effective weapon also. Just grab a bit of flesh in the mid-section and squeeze the handles. The perp will pass out from the pain.I carry a SOG multitool that protects me from loose screws,unstripped wires,, unopened beer bottles, and several other dangerous acts.
Then when it comes time to really have to cut somebody, at least you are comfortable handling the knife.I don't carry a defensive knife because I don't feel I need to. But if I did I would choose one with a 3-1/2" (legal) razor sharp blade with a one-hand opening feature and I wouldn't think of using it unless I was attacked and felt seriously threatened.
The problem with this is if you ever needed a knife, all of a sudden felt you need it to defend yourself, you would get hurt unless you knew how to use it. You have to practice to be able to use it has a defensive weapon. I suggest get one and practice with it.
That looks more like a .380 to me.Just curious what people's thoughts on this are.

I always have a knife of some sort on me but nothing I would call suitable for self defense.
I have my Springfield Armory .45 ACP single stack for that.
