EDC knives?

[Bawanna]

There are knives and then there are knives. I suspect this one will spend a little more time with me around the office at least until someone points out the policy on blade length.

I love it immensely.

At the other end of the size spectrum I love this little beauty. Tiny little AG Russel neck knife. Sharpest knife I've ever owned I think. Right handy but I'm careful when and how I use it, don't want to mess it up.

Yeah, I can see them today, but not yesterday when I posted that. Maybe I should have just refreshed the page.

Here's my collection.....The one in the middle is most often the one carried.

I lost my EDC a couple weeks ago and was bummed. It was a Kershaw Ken Onion Blur 1670BLK. It's a pretty big knife and was stout as an ox.


So yesterday, I bought another Kershaw, a little Ken Onion 1620 Scallion, a great little EDC that doesn't take up much real estate. Sharp as a razor with a untra fine point.


Last night I found my Blur in my wife's Pathfinder

I traditionally like to look at, sharpen, and collect traditional knives, like Case, Buck, etc, but my EDC's are usually assited opening tactical-ish knives.... just like I carry semi-autos, but my real love is revolvers. Go figure.

a Blur is on my to-buy list for sure. Might get one of the S30V ones.

Do those of you who carry both a knife and a gun for self-defense practice knife fighting along with your gun fighting?

I practice cutting open boxes that are taped.

May God have mercy on the taped box that attacks you.

What is that knife? Is that a carbide glass breaker tip?
I think you are about to cost me some, probably a lot of, money.

Let me say that I don't really KNOW anything about fighting with a knife... only that I would do almost anything to avoid getting into one, BUT, I practice getting the right leg forward for longest reach for thrusting or slashing... try it... you don't want your weak leg forward... really limits your reach... and exposes your leg to slashes or kicks. If this was unclear, the leg on the knife-wielding side should be forward, knee bent, not locked... and your stance should be balanced over your two legs... ready for movement in any direction!

Again, try it... and think about how you would employ the knife. Knife fights can be NASTY! I wanna have my trusty Kahr... any of them... for a KNIFE FIGHT! If you're close enough to get slashed... Defense "Experts" say INSIDE 20 feet... it may be too late to start THINKING about drawing your weapon!
