As the title says, I'm wondering what to look for in a good fighting knife. As in blade length and style, handle length and style, etc.
Thanks
Thanks
What sort of scenario is it that you anticipate?
Are you a big guy? Little guy? Tall and thin? Short and thin?
Do you have big hands, medium hands, or small hands?
Long arms? Short arms?
Upper body strength?
Reflexes?
You've lived in Japan for several years, and you're a family man. What's your level of training in martial arts?
Since your interest is when you return to Canada you'll need to learn what the Canadian law and Provincial and local restrictions are.
I'm still interested tho in what a good design would look like.
HSO said:" Most ideas about carrying a knife for self defense are pure fantasy and most of the rest are illusion/delusion."
Thanks for the info, esp Gordon. That's what I'm looking for. Those are beautiful knives. I can't afford the Randals or Mad Dogs tho. Is there a cheaper alternative. How about the Ka Bars. I can get a good deal on a Buck 119 but I have a feeling that it would not fit the bill. Here in japan you can't have double edged knives.
How wide should a fighting blade be?
