My great Uncle, Sam, taught me a long time ago how to sharpen a knife and how to use one, said "nothing like the sight of a man's own blood to take the fight outta him"...........

Carry concealed fixed blade for self defense?

Self defense knifes are stupid as ****. Just get OC spray as a secondary to a ccw
I've carried a fixed blade literally all of my adult life. I have quite an assortment of them. I find them to be the most useful, and if it ever came to self defense they are without question the fastest to get into action. I don't carry one all day, everyday, but I do carry one most of the time.
Ha this is me just yesterday...
But I also had a handgun with 2 spare mags while shopping.

You guys should come take the knife class at Gearcraft tomorrow.
How much training with a knife does the average person have? Probably not a lot. With a gun you can get some distance and the chance that it gets utilized against you is a fraction of the chance of your own knife sticking you. It doesn’t always stop fights fast and if there is another knife in the fights odds are you are both ****ed. The winner dies in the hospital and the loser bleeds out in the street. Additionally, I don’t really believe in the legal fear monger around ccw but I do see how it could be more difficult to win a case after a self defense with a knife.
I’m not advocating for not carry a lethal weapon but the person asking for knife advice on the internet probably shouldn’t be carrying a knife. Carry a gun and look into OC or a bright ass flash light to blind and break contact or use lethal force.
When I’m working I carry an Esse as well.
Can’t always carry.
Can’t always carry.
