I don't think there is such a thing as a "knife fight." I believe that there are 'knife attacks.' The best defense is 'yellow' and the observation to keep aggressors from closing distance. It's ugly, and the first cut usually determines the winner.
Having said that, I don't think firearms are the cure-all. I think the brain is the weapon. My brain tells me to avoid areas where politics and debates lend themselves to knife attacks.
I sharpen knives, and I do this service for guys who like knives. During this period, I have seen the hands and arms of the "successful" knife guys.
The 'best' one is the guy with a scar running from between his first and middle finger down to the bottom of his thumb.
Had this mark been made by a heavy knife or axe, his attacker would have completely cut off his thumb and first finger.
Romantic, isn't it?
