Being in the deep south, I find myself having to explain why I would want a knife instead of a gun. These are the general reasons I give them.
Eventually, no matter how good the gun is, it will eventually run out of bullets, a knife will always have an edge.
You break a gun, and all you have left is a club. You break a knife, and you still have a knife, sure it might hurt more stabbing without a point, but it will still work.
A gun can shoot. A knife can stab, cut, slice, skin, wittle, chop, pry, (in absolute emegencies), be a screwdriver, a wire stripper, etc. , etc., etc.
And my personal favorite as far as comments go when I pull out an auto....
"I have something out in the truck that can beat your knife." To which I reply..
" What makes you think you will make it to the truck...lol"
