    Imo only an idiot would carry a knife for self-defence, especially if untrained. If someone (probably women especially) feels unsafe, carrying CS-spray would be more reasonable imo.

      Its weird you got downvotes. A knife is a terrible weapon for self-defense, the odds of you getting fucked up by your own knife are extremely high. Pepper spray is far superior to a knife for any realistic self-defense situation.

        I knew a paramedic who said that the winner of a knife fight was the one who died in the ambulance instead of on the scene.

        Doubt they carry knifes for self-defence. But then, gang-members are probably not the people with the best education.
