The same argument works well for 9mm vs .45 cal.


* I don't know, you tell me. Why would it be worse to get cut by the civ than the sifu? i can't help to think sifu would be a better choice since i can stab with it as well... i dont want a knife to be limited. i do like the civ, but listing pro's and con's, the sifu seems a better choice...

so civ was made for law in difficult situations, i can buy that... still not sure that would compare to me in a self-defense situation.. i dont have a gun, i dont have backup... i dont know how succesfully one can slash against someone with a leatherjacket etc...

Chariot - I can't make a choice for you, I can offer some opinion.

If you stab someone with a 5" knife that you have been carrying, you are going to go to jail. In fact, if you hurt anyone with a knife, you are going to go to jail. Whether our not you stay there is the question. Carrying a large illegal knife implies intention.

Trying to slash through a leather coat with a dull knife won't work.

Stabbing requires skill. Have you developed that skill? Just having a knife alone doesn't create the skill. Stabbing a moving target intent on hurting you is not easy.
