Cold steel night shade knives? Strong? Sheaths?

you'd be better off taking some self defense classes, jui-jitsu, muy thai or boxing.

i would look into hide away knives, they are small enough to hide places like a hole in the tounge of your shoe or under your foot, then when inside go in the bathroom and "fix" your shoe. try not to go to jail tho

Don't do it, or you will feel sorry later.

If the place you're trying to sneak in has security, then you shouldn't worry too much about defending yourself with a weapon. If you want to have a self defense weapon on you all the time, you better off choosing something not lethal, like a kubotan (can make one yourself). If you want to scare off people just by angry stance, go to the gym and work out.

Cold steel night shade knives are bad letter openers and mainly designed for stabbing (killing). If you want one to play with at home, get it, but think 10 times before deciding to carry it. If you get caught with one, you will have a hell of a time explaining the reason for having it on you, even if you didn't really do anything "bad". And if you end up doing something "bad", that plastic thing will most certainly get you in much deeper pile of doodoo.

If you need ability to cut things at any time in any place, get a keychain knife. It is much more useful then buckle knife, not threatening and easy to carry through security.

As other have said, carry a pen/pencil (not necessarily tactical).
For about $10 you can get a truly useful tool that will help you in many ways and won't get you in trouble.

I think im going to go with a tactical pen instead. Without considering price what is the absolute best tactical pen there is?
 
I own the CS night shade karambit, its a fun toy, but thats all it is, sure it will take out an eye or make a bad puncture wound, but as others have said, you're in a whole heap of trouble if you get caught carrying something like that in a place you're not supposed to. Good to have in the shower if you're worried your dealer is coming after you though...

I would go with the cheap metal parker pen shown above, tsa, federal buildings, and other security savvy places now recognize and confiscate tactical pens, buy 100 disposable metal pens at the same price as a "good" tactical pen so you can give it up with a smile and apologize.

But really, anything can be a weapon, magic markers, chairs, mugs, a comb, etc.. Do you get into bar fights very often since you want this carry option? If that is the case, maybe spend your money on anger management classes?
 
In my opinion the cs night shades are cool but impractical unless you are planing to stab some one I wouldnt sugest it if your worryed about self defence you can get plastic defence wrenchs witch will work if you in a place were weopons are not permited shanks are mostly and aggressive offencive weopon so to sum up you probably shouldn't carry somthing like that you'd only be asking for legal problems

Well, as far as a sheath goes, kydex is plastic, although it usually uses metal rivets to keep it folded. The amounts of metal are minor though, not much different than rivets in jeans, belt buckles, etc.

Legal disclaimer by someone with no legal expertise: If or some reason you ever need to use such a "knife" in place that uses metal detectors to weed out that sort of thing (bar, airport, federal building), or simply get caught with it, you'll have a hell of a time explaining why you're carrying a substitute weapon designed specifically for circumventing security measures. You don't want that kind of heat. If you're really that worried about having something that can be used as a weapon, look into a strong, stiff pen like a Zebra F-701, or a classic Bic clear pen.

Good advice well said. I was thinking the same thing. Get caught with the plastic knife sounds like big trouble. Pen, belt, keys, flashlight, and the brain.
 
they are sold with the ring in the handles for a reason...yes its easily cut off. the dont wear like normal knives do but they do have set back being plastic they cant be sharpened, if you stab something hard with them the points roll and fold so they are pretty much last ditch self defense weapons. if your in a BAR where they sell beer in GLASS BOTTLES you have a much better weapon available to you, and since its s sports bar im assuming they sell food so they already give you a fork, im sure steak is an option so you get a steak knife a better option, and wait they have metal detectors at the door...who checks them ? the cute 120lbs blonde waitress? or the bouncer at the damn door? your best bet is to either let them handle the situation or use what they give you to make a weapon to deal with it yourself. if your looking to keep a knife duct taped in your shower to prevent an American psycho moment then the night shade series is a great idea, also if you wanna keep a cheap knife stashed outside or some place that you arent in a lot thats really humit then go a head and get one but i use the tanto i have as a letter opener and the jungle dart just sits in my box of knives.
