I don't like to think of a knife as a weapon. Personally I don't want to let anyone questionable that close to me! I do think that that having one as a backup in a pinch is smart though. Right now I only carry a multi tool with two different knives on it. It is really a tool only and would make a lousey defensive weapon. If shtf I would start carrying a sheath knife, or two. I really like the knowledge of a rifle being able to stop an aggressor from a long way off.

What is the part on a sword that protects your hand from getting cut by another sword? The reason I ask is I'd like a sheath knife that had the moulded handgrip and the guard too. (Cross guard?).
I knew this would bring Roni out , haven't heard from Him in a while . I do have a Cold Steel push dagger being shipped now . Will post pictures when it comes in .

You dont always get to choose how close the bad guy is to you . Knives are one of the earliest weapons used by Man . Its not a pretty subject but necessary for Prepper / Survivalist to know in My opinion . SF Troops call a knife kill getting wet for a reason .
I haven't had one of the locks to fail but saw one that was very hard to unlock to fold back up . Also the extra lock that keeps the lock from unlocking that I never use can be engaged by accident, not a problem but I dont think its necessary.

It has been proven in a lot of tests that the liner lock is pretty much the worst lock and the secondary locking system by CRKT has especially been shown to be the king of worst liner locks. My fingers are worth more to me. Ask anyone on this forum I'm the guy with the knife knowledge It's part of what I make my living off of. CRKT has improved the steels they are using now thank goodness but, it took a lot of customer complaints for them to finally listen. Please be careful with them is my real point here. If your happy with the knife then cool. As a knife fighter, maker, smith, and all around blade addict, liner locks are the king of failure. I personally almost lost my trigger finger to a Kershaw liner lock failure. Still don't have proper feeling in it. In the second video you can see the test results at 12:08.

Its not a pleasant way to take a life but, It's more efficient than anything else inside of 7 feet. And yes its very wet...

Really just a clarification. As with most things, the more you learn about one thing, the more you realize how much you don't know about it.

Both are nice. Even before reading the reviews I thought the all metal one would be better with a grip. After all the 'wet' talk, being able to hold on to it is probably a good idea. I like the guard on the illustration. Even though you're not sword fighting with a knife, having some added protection for your lead hand seems wise to me.

You can get the all metal one then cord wrap the handle? That'll improve the grip. There's fairly large bowies that are meant for knife and sword fighting. Maybe you'll like those?

That's a mean looking weapon. .

I guess if I was pressed into a knife fight I think the bigger the better would apply for me. Somehow I'd feel better with a sword than a knife. Mechanically, I think I'd have more coordination with a long blade than a knife. The good thing about a knife though would be the element of surprise. Them not knowing you were armed until the last second would give an advantage. Here's to hoping I am Wiley enough to advoid any situation in my lifetime where I would have to use a knife as a weapon. Peeling vegetables and fruit with one is much preferred.

The natchez is a beautiful beast! I prefered the 1917 bowie because it actually was designed to face a sword.
Also if your so inclined you can customize it..
