Hi, folks.

Glad I found this forum. I just recently became interested in knives. I've been into firearms for quite a while, but I want to increase my knowledge about defensive weaponry.

I just ordered a Tac Force dagger style folding knife for $8. I figured I can get a sense of the mechanics of the weapon without spending a lot of $$$ right out of the gate. I'll let everyone know my impressions when it arrives.

I'd be interested in any resources regarding use of a knife for self-defense or any other cool thing forum members can think of.

Many thanks!
 
Welcome to the forums ... another thought if your main interest is in knives as a defensive weapon ... look for a knife that has a trainer of the same model to practice with ... will allow you to learn without the cuts and dangers that will come if you try to learn using a functioning real knife.
 
Welcome !:) As already stated above , the Practical Tactical subform is the best place for your interest . It's a great place to search for almost any SD related topic . Some of the best threads are old and you'll have to dig some . :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I don't have any Tac Force knives but I'd be very hesitant to hard use any cheap folder in martial practice , for fear of lock failure .

My "go to " for SD/ fighting blades is Cold Steel . They have a forum here , but it's more product oriented than tactics .
 
Welcome and good luck with your search for the right tool to keep you safe or at least give you some peace of mind :thumbsup:
 
Welcome to the forum!!!

There is tons of great info to be found if search old threads.

Although searching ‘Tac Force’ might lead to a dampening of the spirit. Looking forward to the review.

It all depends on if the searcher is looking for confirmation or inspiration: confirmation that their knife is deemed a good choice by others, or inspiration for a potential upgrade that would better suit them. One search will often disappoint, the other could result in another purchase and/or further research and is the better way to go about it.

Knives are always personal, don’t let society tell you what you should want. Tac-Force may be a cheap brand to many, but it’s often a stepping stone into the world of brands like Kershaw or Cold Steel.

Well said.
 
What about knife throwing?

Is that a thing? Or something they do as a joke in circus movies?
