Self defence knife - which one?

I never carried firearms. To carry, one has to apply for specialist training.

How did your buddies survive the bad areas? Only SWAT teams carry guns?

Plastic bottles squirt even better if you poke a hole in them with a tanto of course.... :eek:
I had a Sgt. Major in the army who was a former Delta Commando. He found out that a couple of us were taking a 4 day trip to Brazil. He advised us about the roving teenaged street gangs and recommended that we purchase some toy squirt guns, seal them well with glue, and fill them with ammonia to be used for SD in case we encounter some of these "Urban Terrorists". Low and behold, we found ourselves in a "shootout" with some boys who were barely teenagers. Probably not as effective as a knife, but it was a cheap, reliable replacement.
 
I remembered after writing this that the UK has a product called a Vicks Nasal Spray (for clearing sinuses during a cold) it has a really small diameter hole and would hold a fair bit. Its about as innocuous as you can get, and who wants to inspect something closely that has been up another persons nose? ;)
