Good budget boot knife?

[eisman]

What you want is something slim; that Russell is pretty good. You could go off budget and do something like this by Mike Lovett...

Most clips suck. A leg wrap is better, and less likely to show. Best is stitching the sheath into the boot.

Recommend that you and maw read up some on your local laws FIRST . Then read everything related to knives for self defense in Practical Tactical .

Just to start :https://www.bladeforums.com/search/7277042/?q=self+defense+knives&o=date&c[title_only]=1&c[node]=680

From what I read on knife laws in Oregon just about all knives are legal most of them you can conceal carry

That's what I was thinking something like a strap

That knife is pretty cool

Frank Deluvio does a nice knife, and ladies should have good accessories.

This Lee pattern is available as a mass produced item. It's a classic. Made by Paragon...(this is an original by Tommy.)

velcro, elastic bandage, and a sewing machine are all you need.

Here's the other version I was thinking of...

Only reason I like the 3B more is because it's half the weight of the all steel version. But you can get the heavier one for $30 here:

Our karate teacher can teach her

Don't you and Mom, either one, forget to learn some Karate from your teacher , and not just knife fighting . The skills are complementary . What style do you practice ?

You also might want to ask teacher about what knife to carry .

Just be careful. Daggers with double edges are illegal almost everywhere. Sal Glesser of Spyderco fame just commented on this issue a few days ago.

There are many other single edged choices.

The Gerber Ghostrike is in this price range as well, and fits the bill.

For a bit more cash, they have a version with an ankle carry rig.

She'd be better off with a can of UDAP bear spray in her bag/purse.
She won't be arrested for murder as opposed to a "boot knife".

I know it was mentioned earlier but S&W and schrade make an acceptable quality boot knife (comes from the same factory in China I am sure). I bought one just for fun but the build is okay and the leather sheath and clip is pretty good. Not sure about actually putting it on/in a boot as I have never done that but it works fine on a belt. Comes in both double and single edged versions. Can be easily had for under $20, mine was ~$15. For a one use SD knife it seems perfectly fine.
