So, what & why. Why carry a knife to defend yourself? Why not an actual gun?

Pistols aren’t always the best option when you’re outside the home, though they’re king of self-defense when you’re out of the home. There are so many reasons for deciding to carry around a best otf knife for self-protection instead of, say, an assault rifle. Concealed knives offer concealment just as well as a firearm. Think about it: you can’t tell a thief that you have a concealed weapon, because (with the exception of certain types of knives) it’s not exposed to the world. If they try to attack you with it, they’ll have no idea if it’s there or not.

A knife, on the other hand, is easily hidden. It can be disguised with a belt buckle, pouch, sheath or any number of concealment devices. A well-made pocket knife can even be made to look like a replica of an everyday object (such as a pen) that can be taken anywhere. An old pocket knife sheath can be turned into a fully-functional concealable knife if needed.

Here’s another quick overview of some of the different types of options for knives, and what they have to offer for defense purposes. A popular choice for women is the lipstick knife, which has a small blade, a smooth handle, and a concave shape to it. It can be used to ward off an attacker, as it has a pointed point. However, this is a blade that is extremely handy for the do-it-yourselfer. It’s got a small enough blade so it won’t be a problem to defend yourself against an attacker who’s close enough.

Another popular option is the fixed butterfly clip point, which is great for defense as well as for everyday use. The back of the blade has a small slot where it hooks onto the clip, and it’s got a solid pivot. It’s designed to be used with benchmade weapons, which means it’s strong enough to be used as a non-lethal weapon. It’s got a smooth grip so it won’t slip. Plus, it’s got an efficient tip, so it won’t cause any more injury to you or your target.

A popular choice for men is the switchblade, which has a tapered length and a strong hook on the bottom half of the blade. Some people like to conceal it with a pocket knife, and some like to use it for self-defense. However, the size of the blade and the angle of the blade to stop the blade from being effective for defense, so it’s not recommended for concealed carry. For self-defense, it’s best if you get something with a larger blade and a straight edge. The pointed blade is better suited for concealment and targeting, though.
