Did you ever need to use your knife as a weapon?

Hey Guys..

When I was about 16 in the bush behind the house a dog came at me from nowhere..

I pulled a machette from a cheap canvas sheath (God I hate cheap sheaths

) and beaned him over the head with the side of the blade knocking him over.

Lucky for him it wasn't today, I probably would have taken a slice for real....

Getting too old for that sort of $hit...

No.
But when I was living in the Czech Republic, my buddy accidentally bumped the girlfriend of a skinhead goon with his backpack on the escalator coming up out of the subway. By the time we got up to the street and to our bus stop for the rest of the ride home, we noticed that the "offended" goon had gathered up four of his friends and was standing in the shadows pointing towards my friend and I. Not good. Once we boarded our bus and were heading towards home, we noticed that the goon squad had ALSO boarded our bus and were still pointing at the two of us. Clearly something real real bad was going to happen to us once we got off the bus on the outskirts of town, where we lived. I took out my large lockblade SAK and began demonstratively cleaning my fingernails but never making eye contact - just hoping they'd notice the knife and get the message. I think they did but just to be sure, my buddy and I dodged off the bus just as the doors were closing, two stops early at a crowded intersection. Shaking, we ambled into a local pub and downed a few fine Czech beers before heading home. The skins (damn near the lowest form of human scum, incidentally) never did find us and I never had another problem in five years living in Prague. Still, I always carried that knife or a POS switchblade (I figured I'd slash, run, then toss it in the river) just in case.
 
To OKG: Yeah, I know what you mean. If someone were breaking into your house in Canada and you shot them you'd go to jail!! Not supposed to hurt people when they are stealing your posessions. You are allowed to call the police and wait though. Canadians are supposed to be too polite to shoot people dead, even if they are stealing your t.v. and Grandma's secret recipe book!
