Thats what I figured. Better then not having a knife though I'm sure.

 

The times I've been doing weapon retention drills I've been so busy with both hands I've not even been able to grab a knife. When somebody grabs or tries to grab your gun it's a furball of epic proportions...those who say they will grab a knife and slice you...have never trained..but watched lots of TV and movies...

Plus, it's not easy to cut somebody, it's actually extremly nasty, can be bloody like you have never seen blood before..warm...sticky...smelly...it's harder to have the cutting mindset than the shooting...

Now personally if I was going to carry a knife to cut somebody I'd want a knife designed to cut a human, with a blade designed to cut human flesh, muscle, bone...some have the general shape, but if the blade is not designed to cut a human it will not do nearly as much damage...and a human can bleed tons before dying or getting weak enough to stop trying to kill you...

I prefer the spyderco civilian, it's designed for only one task...to slice a human...

The Civilian has a patented reverse "S" blade that's intended to be used like an oversized claw. The tip is ground to an ultra-thin profile. Deeply curved and full at the belly, the VG-10 hollow-ground blade excels in slicing and is available fully SpyderEdged. Because of its distinctly specialized features it is not intended or designed for general utility or everyday use. Curved in all the right places for ergonomic use and retention of the knife, the handle is black G-10. Mounted for tip-down carry with a custom curved black clip,

 

That is a wicked looking blade

 

man that thing would hurt!!!

 

It's designed to suck the meat into the blade & in a reverse hold against a wrist it could almost remove your hand from your arm...

 

When I do open carry it is in a holster that has 2 separate retention devices. I can pull it very quickly as I am familiar with it and I have practiced with it. Somebody else would take alot longer to be able to figure out how to draw the weapon from the holster.

And if you ever have to pull and shoot, you better keep shooting until they are down for the count.

 

I open carry a grenade. You crazier than I am? Huh? Huh? You think you're crazier than I am? Take it. Use it. Feel crazy? Well, let's get crazy.

 

That knife looks like Hell's version of a keyhole saw!

 

Meh...what's the kill zone of a hand grenade...how about the wound zone...

I'll just shoot you from 100 feet while sipping on some Wyoming Whiskey....and watch you explode...

 

wonder if a retentoin holster could of saved his life?
