Ha! Yeah I guess so. Don't pay any attn to me my friend, I am only teasing. I Personally have never needed a combat blade outside of work but my situation is not anyone else's for sure. I am fortunate in that I live in a quiet area. It wasn't always so, and I have the tell tale scars to prove it, but those are from a younger and less experienced me.

Well said.

Keep in mind that learning to use a knife defensively takes significantly more time and effort than learning how to use a pistol. I generally recommend pepper spray to people who want to carry a defensive weapon but won't invest time and effort in ongoing competency.
