Yet ANOTHER addition to my self-defense family... - Page 2

For training in edged weapons look into shivworks.com

Then buy some of the DVD's. They are excellent.

Find a local Pekiti-Tirsia Kali class if you are interested in learning to make your knife as effective as possible.

As to the flashlight, I prefer to have it on hand as an impact weapon in addition to its obvious uses.

Good thinking, and I see where you're coming from. Knives are very tricky things to find adequate placement for: as much as I'm itching for a HAK, for instance, I'm having a lot of trouble finding smart places to store it on my person. I don't think any amount of edged-weapon training can be overstated; they're really hard to use well and are only really effective at grapple distances. I wish you sincere luck in any training and highly recommend a training knife.

I'm thinking about getting my father-n-law to carry while trucking; b/c company policy doesn't allow the carry of firearms.

Nice Acquisition Lima. I have been looking at those myself.

I would never trust a spray to stop someone attacking me. As a last resort, still would trust the knife first. A light is an absolute must have in my book.
