I have a lot of respect for a knife as a backup for a gun, in that the two are *complementary*, providing coverage from mid to very close range.
This being said, things become very problematic when facing a “competent opponent”, as opposed to a typical fool. With the latter, a gun-knife combo is great; but with the former, “hauling *ss out of there” is always preferred.
Living close enough to the southern border, I have met up with some top-notch, school trained knife fighters that I would never dream of engaging with a gun even in pretty good gun circumstances. This is because error forgiveness has dropped to zero, and the slightest mistake will end up with you julienned.
Nice
already have one as my daily carry
