If you know more than us, why come here asking us for information?

Did you really think that a knife that is designed for literal hand to hand combat would break in a pocket?

Really? Did you think that?

If you did, you should not own a knife made by anyone other than playschool...
 
So normally Id not talk on something like this but the OP has defeated himself the article/guide he linked talks about how impractical martial arts self defense is in a real knife fight/attack. It talks about how you will most likely be sliced/stabbed by a knife wielding attacker before you ever reach for your weapon. So why carry an unnecessarily large knife, which will take more time to get out of the pocket, than basically any reasonably sized knife folding or fixed. Why carry it in the pocket which unless the item is small to medium sized and clipped to the pocket will be more difficult to extract particularly in a high stress situation such as fending off an attacker who probably has already harmed you.

I don't want to attack a persons personal choice but when they try to defend their personal choice with things that are counter to their position I just have to scratch my head and wonder why is this person trolling us with a complete lack of logic.
 
I tried so hard not to be apart of this but some people just ask for it. I'm sure this is how his whole life has been . Kinda saddened by this.

Nobody cares if you're a gay black Asian tiger.
You came here asking for advice so you don't get to choose who advises you.

Here's some advice that I've even taken here.
Sit back, shut up and appreciate the wealth of knowledge that this forum provides.

First of all such and such, additionally and such, lastly such and such. This is hilarious and such. God bless it....
 
Watch noss's test of the glock knife, break in your front pocket? More like break through your pocket along with whatever body part it's touching in the event of a car accident.

over the last 2-3 pages, I have said plenty that you either can't or don't know how to refute.
This is what you choose to come back at?

Address the post below and you may actually get some sensible responses from people...

Why do you want to carry such a large fixed blade in your pocket?
Concealment? It hangs out of your pocket, or it is too buried to be of use immediately. Belt carry would allow for 1/2 -3/4 (if not more) of the knife and sheath to be covered.
Fully concealed? Do you have a Concealed Weapon license? In most locations (that I know of), one is needed to fully conceal a knife or firearm.
Ease of accessing it? It is buried inside your pocket, belt carry is easier.
Security of not dropping or having it taken?
That shouldn't be an issue for someome so well versed in a martial art.

How can you deliver a solid kick above your opponents knee with a knife in your pocket that has an OAL of near 10"-12"?

Why did you choose that knife when there are others that are better for self defense?
- A karambit or hawksbill shape will often yield a gaping flesh wound which will scare most off but not be as lethal, while being lighter and quicker. This will aid in your defense in a court room., which is where you will end up. A knife in an encounter will likely need to be explained in front of a judge.
- A dagger or Wharncliffe will offer a more aggressive cutting edge in soft tissue and clothing due to the tip and edge being straight along the slicing path. As well as adding to the puncture if needed... This being the more lethal blade shapes will be harder to defend in a court.

But I am sure, as a trained marital artist, You knew this.
Wait, you Are trained by someone, right? You never said that. You just said you like to practice...
