Don't carry a fucking knife, jesus.

I've actually been trained by LEOs, and can almost guarantee I'm taller and sturdier then you.

I would get repeatedly fucked up, because if you pull a knife you're getting cut up - especially if the other person knows what they're doing. And it automatically escalates everything the minute it enters play.

In fact I urge you to see if you can get yourself on a self defence course, and see exactly how this would actually play out.

Whoa, take it easy. It's not like I'm pulling knives out on anybody who looks at me cockeyed. Or hoping that I can win in a knife fight.

I'm going to say here that our experiences are fundamentally different, but it's not like what I do should be immediately discounted. I've never been assaulted by someone looking to rape or mug me. Maybe I am somewhat misguided in my ability to defend myself because of my dearth in that area, I don't know.

But the experiences I have had have dictated that I always have something on me to a.) defend myself, or b.) deter whatever is attacking me. The knife is there for backup, not so that I can whip it out every time I feel threatened.

um if a dude is coming at you and you brandish a sudden knife he will probably fuck off without touching you. if you know how to wield it properly not a whole lot of attackers are going to try and wrestle it from you. if someone is coming at you you're going to get hurt regardless unless you defend yourself, and intimidation with a weapon is a huge factor. no self defense course would ever suggest going out unprotected.
