What knife would you use to kill a bear?

I think an Izula would be fine.

I am just going to stab whoever is with me directly in the thigh and run like crazy.

Either that or take your buddies shoes. You do not have to run faster than the bear, just faster than everyone else.

The most pragmatic answer I've ever read in my life!!
 
Are you telling me no one's going to say: Loveless Big Bear!!!!!
 
________Guy did one up here with a 2 1/2" Slippy! On Kodiak no less. Famous incident took place several years ago.
One thing that sticks in my mind was listening to him tell the story at a local distributor's dealer appreciation party.
He said something like, Come on! I got God on my side!
 
I think both the guys in the original stories got pretty lucky. It seems like it'd be better to stab/cut the eyes/nose/face area. Most predators are pretty cautious about getting their faces mauled, so mauling their faces is a good way to convince them you're not prey.

On the other hand, how you do that while trying to cover your own head and vitals with just that one remaining (and mauled) hand, I don't know. :D

So, I'm going to change my answer to:

A Vic Classic taped to a can of pepper spray. :D
 
I'd use the biggest damn knife I had so I could penetrate the blade as deep as I could.
 
Just use a Spartan Doru spear and hoplon shield and you should be golden against a bear if you want to go melee with the thing.

Well. When my pack goes on my Odin goes on too.Back in the late sixties I wrestled a small declawed and muzzled bear at a fair.I was 15 or 16,180#, and a football player. I couldn't even imagine taking one on with just a blade.:eek:Especially with this head full of gray hair.:mad:
If I lived in bear country I'd pack my old 5 1/2 inch Redhawk everywhere.
