best folder for self defence

If someone said "Yes", would you believe them?
If they were telling the truth, how many different opponents would they have had to face before their ideas were valid(seeing as alot of assailants suck at attack)?
And why would someone who HAD been in such an altercation want to open themself up to the possible ramifications of advertising the fact(since such encounters are often in legally tricky situations)?

I believe every frikin word I read in these forums. Every word. Why would anyone here lie?

Knife fighting is one thing, self-defense is another one quite different. You don't need to actually engage in a fight to avoid a potentially dangerous situation.

Since this request for "advice" on this topic comes up on such a regular basis around here, I'd like to pose an interesting question (and I really want to know): how many people participating in this thread right now, in addition to those who will add to it over the next few days, have actually been an "active" participant in a real-world knife fight?

so every college professor is a dummy?

my guitar teacher introduced himself by playing black star.

just saying, that refers more to bragging than anything else. oh, and if I had actually gotten into an altercation with that guy, not only would I not talk about it, I probably wouldnt be talking at all. but because I got lucky and avoided a fight, I will share since that is what you should hope will happen if you ever find yourself in the same situation.

Yes, and even in a 100% justified (and proven so in court) use of deadly force in self-defense, it is still best not to discuss that event in public. That can come back and bite the person in many ways, from lawsuits from the attacker or his family to evidence against the poster if he's involved in another defense situation or other legal troubles.

IMO such questions often attempts to shut down discussions. It would be different if we were all discussing and advocating stupid techniques like cutting enemies while doing multiple back flips and cartwheels with a WASP knife in one hand and a United Cutlery fantasy knife in the other, but those types of posts are rare. :D

yes, let's have some of those posts!
 
I would have a cold steel recon 1 for folders, but I would much prefer a piranha bodyguard. Perfect knife because it has a razor tip, it has also never failed to open.

Is that what you think I meant?

If you think I mentioned that quote because I think that anyone who talks about anything knows nothing, then you're not thinking clearly.

Quite so.

And if there are any people on this list with real experience, who are not just arm-chair adventurers, then please, continue to share your wisdom with us while you keep yourself free from litigation.

That may leave us with the burden of sifting between advice that is based on solid experience and baseless opinions, but I think most of us are up to the task.

Exactly.
And there is a growing trend to use internet postings as a negative thing in court.

In my opinion, this in and of itself is a strike AGAINST carrying a knife for SD. How good is something for SD if it's so hard to use it justifiably?

It's not hard to use it justifiably.
It IS a bad idea to go yak about having used one, or how awesomely one would do in a fight with one.
Totally different issues.
