Recommendations for Women's EDC/MBC

I was not aware that MBC was a copyrighted Spyderco term. I used the term as I have seen it used on this forum to refer generically to self-defense with a knife as a weapon. I stand corrected.

Teaching any non-martial artists, the focus of instruction would be on being alert and aware and avoiding trouble. The next level would be breaking a hold and strike/run or with a knife, slash/run - very very simple stuff and certainly not standing and fighting and expecting to win an armed confrontation. In my seminars which cover a wide variety of topics, I would not be going beyond this superficial level of weapons awareness.

I like Spyderco knives. The Gunting and Gunting Trainer are excellent self-defense knives and I'm sure their utility increases with proper instruction and regular training. I would point interested serious students to MBC/Spyderco/Gunting/Bram Frank/Janich training.

I like the responses to this thread - lots of good suggestions. Thanks to all.

I think that the Gunting Live/Drone set is the way to go, but the Gunting may be a little too big for some women to utilize for EDC. In that case, I'd go with the Delica Live/Drone set. That is what I usually recommend for a lot of my female classes/students. These also help keep the costs down over the "G".

I think that the TUSOK will be THE choice once it's released. I'll probably start to use it instead of the Delica once that happens.

If you were to step outside the Spyderco family, I really LOVE the Emerson/Perrin La Griffe for anyone needing a last ditch SD blade.
 
(sorry for using Santi's lockion code. I got this when he came to my office and use my computer)

This is a very interested toppics for me as I have a teenager daughter who need to treavel to places due to her study in the Fine Art School.

I sent her to the Self Defence Class . This is the most important and perhaps she lernt that there are so many things in the environment can be used as self defence weapon such as bottle, belt , dust on the road and etc. Of course I do know we are discussing on Knife for self defence and I' m soory to go too far.

I gave so many knives to my daughter (some was given by Santi as gift) , now she has full range and several sizes fo knives from smallest like Cricket , Navigator and the biggest is upto full range like Military. She learnt to choose knife to suit to where she goes and the folowing knives were her choices;
1. Navigator for everyday carry and in school uniform.
2. 2-7/8 inch Wayne Goddard or Plain edge Natives for weekend . We have sold the Native Model because we found that it was too easy to left unintentionly opened when carry in the loose dresses.
3.Navigator + Military + one Swiss knife for camping and long distance traveling .

This is what I can contribute from reading all the valued comments from all of you.

Thanks ;

Dick.
