I would like to play with one before makng judgement. mike  +1 on practacing. A few years back Newt Livesay modified a knife for me to carry behind my mag pouches. It was a small fixed blade. It was about 6 inches with a 2-21/2" blade. He liked the idea so much he made up a few more. Well it did get the ultimate test. a Mo. State trooper was on a traffic stop. He brought the violator back to his car's front seat (this is not a commit on that tactic). The subject went for the troopers gun. In the insuing struggle the trooper had the mindset to go for the knife (I do not know how much practice he had) The trooper remebers stabbing the guy once. The bad guy got out of the car and ran. Backing officers got there and the car is covered in blood. There is a blood trail from the car that disappears in the woods. 46 minutes later the bad guy shows up at a local hospital. He was stabbed once in the shoulder like the trooper rembers and twice in the throat. One of them missed the carotid by a few cm.Bad guy goes to jail and happy ending. I have always said if you carry a gun you should carry a knife.  <img src="/images/smilies/wink2.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":wink2:" title="Wink2    :wink2:" data-shortname=":wink2:" /></blockquote>
