I sort of collect things, and so for years had a small collection, but only 2 are nicer. The rest were mostly given to me, and are low end junk.
All I ever use them for is opening letters, and that's about all they can do. I suppose you could cut steak, at dinner.
A cabin spike would make a better weapon.
The change in the law is news to me too.
Now there is very high end blades with damacus steel and rarer grip materials, made for SD, but if you use it for SD the cops will take it and keep it, unless you are really found at no fault. And even then the cops will try to keep it, just like a gun that was used in any other crime, including suicide.
When I was taught the rudiments of knife fighting, using chalk covered sticks and dark sweat suits, everyone involded, agressor and defender alike, got cut. Knife fighting for real is beyond dangerous. Bring a gun and don't let the agressor get withing 20 feet.

At a event called sca or something like that,as I went one time, there were for real marshal arts guys, and I got some lessons. Mostly I learned how to die with n dignity what so ever.
The trainer was good, he was very good and most others could not touch him. He used a padded stick made of a wood that won't splinter. I forget what kind of wood it was now too. While this stick was padded the trainer delivered blows with it thart raised welts on the other trainee's.
I told the trainer that if he left one welt on me I would go home to my tent in tears and get my .62 cal flintlock pistol and come back and shoot him dead.
My would be 2nd wife ad been invited back by the clan, and the offer went to me as well, so I went after making suitable garments, but had my so called 'live steel' which is real stuff from the French and Indian War. Weapons that work and are for show, to include that pistol.
The trainer knew I had that as well as other weapoins I had to display, so he still got me every time, but with a light touch. When I was done I was very humbled and scared.
If you bring a knife to fight me I will shoot you dead. I might get cut, but you will be very dead.
For sure it won't be any foolish little switchblade for me to carry. If I were going to carry for SD it would be one of these.
It is an assisted opener, not an automatic, but surely just as fast. Very sturdy, and you won't use the grocery money just to purchase one.

That is for sure. What I was trained, and told was, you WILL be cut, expect it. We also trained with the chalk sticks..think you are a bad azz, think again..it's a humbling event.
If you're going to carry a knife as a backup to a sidearm I suggest you take a defensive knife class.
That's the plan
