The 2 people I have known that got into real knife fights were stabbed before they knew they were in a fight. Both got jumped by a guy with a knife. One pf the guys I knew ended up with something like 17 wounds before he fought off the attacker. Luckily they were shallow stabs and cuts and the guy was tough. The entire attack took seconds. Neither of them had time to get their own knives out.

As a distance, I guy with a gun might miss. We’ve all seen the videos on YouTube. A guy up close with a knife rarely misses, especially if you are unaware of their intentions. Personally, I would rather not test either.

Typical American Shooting Urinal schlock. They fail to even mention the darling of the SpecWar community, Emerson's CQC line. Snake Eaters don't carry knives for an offensive purpose because their MO is that any enemy should be dead before they get close enough to touch. If they're reaching for a knife if means that plan didn't work out and something has gone desperately wrong. It's a last-stop life-saving measure.


"The Ontario Knife Company has good folders for very cheap one would normally pay double for, found on amazon like most of them...."

OKC Rat 1 & 2 are excellent inexpensive SD folders. CRKT also makes very trustworthy knives in that price range.
