I got plenty of those, that's one option, but knife is another one. Light, concealable. More importantly, this is a knife forum and in tinkering and modification section. I don't talk guns here.

You'd be surprised how effective is a knife for self defense.

Not legal to conceal, too big to carry on the belt. You don't go look for fight everyday, just in case you ever need it.

What do you mean, too big to carry on the belt?

I wear a TACTICAL belt.

No, it might be legal, but it's eye catching. Police can stop you to question you even thought they let you go later. It's just attention I don't need.

BTW, there are folding knives that is very strong like Cold Steel and Steel Will that I have. it's not all folding knives are not safe. That's the reason I am here to talk about it.

I am not sure you understand how any of them work, you have NO KNOWLEDGE that you can demonstrate. If you think what I said is not true, tell me what you consider is true. If you cannot even put anything out, WHO ARE YOU TO SAY ANYTHING.

Do YOU understand how frame/line lock works? If you know, explain how it should instead keep repeating that I don't know. tell me what you know.

You don't know knife fight, you EDC for style? To show off? You better NOT. Nothing is WORST than pulling out a knife and you don't know how to use it. It's dangerous for you. You have NO IDEA whether line lock or frame lock is good for in knife fight? You really missed the very important point.

Come on, tell me what you know or just SHUT UP.

I'm plenty confident in my knowledge of frame/liner locks. I've SUCCESSFULLY made at least a hundred of them.

How about you? Have you ground and fit any locks? Do you know what the lock interface angle should be? What the surface polish should be? What the spring tension should be? Where and how big the contact area should be? How thick the lock relief should be? I do. I have an intimate understanding of all of those things and their relationship to each other. It's becoming clear to me that you don't.

As for knife fighting.....in most US states it is not legal to carry a knife for self defense purposes. Nor would most sensible people want to. A gun is far more effective and in most cases, causes fewer legal issues.

There are many realistic uses for knives that have nothing to do with combat.

Just wear 5.11 pants and a "punisher" shirt. Cops will leave you alone.

Then you should have no problem answer all the questions I raised. Why didn't you answer any of them? I can't take your words on your experience as you cannot even answer any simple question. You just talk.

I SUCCESSFULLY did two line lock to make it better, this is new to me. BUT this is NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. I do gun smithing, working on cars, doing earth quake reinforcement and all other works. I am an engineer by trade. Knife is so simple it's not funny.

There is no law about self defense with knife, just what kind and how to carry that I know of. Gun is more forgiving to carry, BUT if you start shooting, stray bullets are hard to control. Once you fire a gun, you can expect law suit and everything. Knife is much easy to control who you stab.

realistic use? like cutting food? Food must taste better being cut by an expensive knife.

Like I said, I don't trust that you know anything until you actually answer my questions. They are very simple questions. If you don't agree with what I said, SIMPLE, what is the right way? Too hard for you to answer?

No one here can verify that you are any sort of engineer, gunsmith, knife fighter extraordinaire, or anything else. A quick search of this site shows I've made numerous folders.

Then you should be able to answer your own questions on lock angle.

So what? No one can verify that and even if it's true, it has nothing to do with knife lock up.

Prove it. Got any pics of knives you've made? If it's so easy, why are you struggling with lock up questions?

You couldn't be more wrong on this. Tell any cop you're carrying a knife for self defense. See what happens.

And there will be no lawsuit or legal trouble from stabbing someone?

Yes, for one thing.

What does this have to do with the topic?

I already addressed your false claims. Like a negative angle lock will come unlocked with pressure. That is blatantly and demonstrably false. Or "frame locks are better". Highly subjective and not necessarily true. There are a lot of variables. Variables you can't identify or explain.

Right way for WHAT? There is usually more than one "right" way in anything with knives. Again, it comes down to other details.

No, just not going to waste a ton of time typing to someone who is clueless.

If you have a specific question on knife lockup, state it clearly and I will give an answer based on my experiences.
