the kershaw needs work would make a very good knife for self defense in my opinion. the wharncliffe style blade is an excellent slicer, and the spine tapers down to a needle point so thrusting would be no problem. the knife is small so it carries easily but still provides enough blade to cut very deep. the knife is also affordable yet strong, there are some good test videos of the knife on youtube and they seem to hold up pretty well even hard use. the size and shape of the knife allow you to change grips quickly, and the placement of your thumb behind the spine of the blade provides lots of control and leverage. for those looking for an affordable edc that would be great for simple self defense, the kershaw need work is a great choice, this is a very underrated knife.
