Carrying a knife? Things to consider...

A change of pace for me, this video's focus is on the carrying of a knife, the law, and your philosophy.

If you're just looking to see footage of knives, give it a pass, it's just text and music.

The song is called Alberto Balsalm by Aphex Twin.

Edit: The song was called Alberto Balsalm by Aphex Twin, and it suited the mood a lot better. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn't want the mood intact, and now it's some cheesy breakbeat track they let me use. Apologies.

I agree. If you are in a situation when u are stopped by three people, you need it for self defensive. But if you are muging or using it for none life saving resons, thats what I considor wrong. And just becuase you use it for self defense, does not mean you carry it 24/7.

@shadowstormreviews Sounds good to me.

Bro if they have a gun in ther pocket cos ther collecting wallets, u can whip out that knife and shank em before they even know what hit them. Even if they have a gun out ther not gonna expect you to come and own them, most criminals are pussys too. What I'm trying to say is if you get within 10ft of the criminal, even if he has a gun, 10ft closes pretty fast so he won't have a chance to even react. I am open to criticism.

[ATCKDFND]

@xxinsufficiency Sure, you could try to knife someone before they rob you, but why bother if you can just run away?

If their goal is to steal wallets, they're not gonna shoot someone who runs. That's just asking for trouble.

This is an unusual video to find on YouTube, and I am certainly glad to see it.

I don't think it is "anti-knife" at all. And I hope that we are all 'anti-stabbing people' to begin with.

That said: I carry a knife everyday, I have for years. I would scarcely like to cut or stab another person much more than I would like to have the same done to myself. But I am no pacifist, and I would not carry something that can be used as a weapon without being (somewhat) prepared to apply it if necessary.

always carry a knife. always keep the law in mind. And always protect the sanctity of life and peoples right to life

[fpsmarinecorp0]

I carry a pocket knife on me almost always. I think of it as a tool and not as a weapon. However since i am trained in using a knife as a weapon i would not hesitate if there was not other option. Most of the time there is other options than trying to use lethal force. I recomend using the three steps of engagement in any situation. Also just because you have a knife do not expect it to get you out of a situation without having prior knowledge of fighting in general.

I ALWAYS carry a knife (cheap 3.25" folder). However, I do so mainly for mundane tasks like cutting string, picking out splinters, trimming hangnails, etc.. Really, the only times I'd actually consider using a knife as a weapon is when I don't have access to a firearm or pepper spray and escape is simply not an option. But be aware, simply handing over your wallet isn't always a free ticket to safety - sometimes they'll shoot or stab you anyways. Criminals suck like that. ALWAYS be prepared.

In prison we used to say "I'd rather get cought with a shank than without one"

I for one will not just bow down, comply and hand over my wallet to a thief.

[nephilium67]

I am not handing my wallet over to nobody. I refuse to bow down and comply with someone who is breaking the law by attempting to rob me.
