Hey friends I was recently weighing my most recent purchase of a CRKT M16 folder, and I thought...is a knife really a good back up for civilians without basic military training with a knife. I mean it really does not take much for a untrained person to be effective with the tool. Moreover, I have often heard how people will get a false confidence, my latest 300.00 knife will protect me.
Specifically, our very statement under our knife section here on Combatcarry even states that:' finding a good knife can often be harder than finding a pistol" and yes I paraphrased. I was taught in the service take care of your weapon because if it ever is a need for you to use your knife you have really screwed up some where. I first had Gerber that I gave to my mom because she lives alone and is waiting to pay for CCW permit, yes mom completed her course and is waiting on her permit. However, I gave her my little Gerber just in case. She was super happy.
Now I carry my new CRKT and it is sweet and I do have military knowledge of knife fighting, but I see myself as more than likely using it to cut a seat belt or do things around the house I don't know. Moreover, and I do pack it when I head off to school and of course leaving it in the car before I head to my class. What do you think viable back up, something we should depend on or is it
more like oh man, things have really gone south and at least I have my folder. ok lets talk...
