Which knives from your collection...

It ain't the knife, it ain't the gun...it's the mental determination to be going home at the end of it all.

Hmmmm...an untrained woman with a folding knife, sounds like....(snaps fingers) what's that term? Oh, right, a statistical outlier. Rather like a well-made handgun using quality ammunition somehow suddenly suffering a catastrophic failure. In fact, my own determination to be the one going home on two feet at the end of the dance is the reason I carry a handgun, along with a knife, and it's the reason I still practice my martial arts training.

That said, I think we should follow along with your statement about determination being more important than any tool, by REALLY getting this topic going: "When armed only with determination, how would you defeat multiple armed, determined assailants?"

The prac-tac BS should get good and properly deep in short order. :thumbup:

Extreme brutality and a hefty dose of good luck.
(hopefully you used up all your bad luck getting into a situation where you are unarmed and being attacked by multiple armed, determined attackers...)

It's always a game of odds.
Anyone who thinks they have taken the element of luck out of things merely because they have a gun/knife/baton/training is deluding themselves.

There are no guarantees in life...other than there being no guarantees, that is. ;)

Oh yeah, and if the above doesn't work, you die.
Yay!

I can agree that there are no guarantees. I don't believe that there are in anything in Life. That said, being prepared and practiced DOES help tilt things in your favor, even if only slightly.

Also, my answer would be: completely naked except for a pair of steel-toed boots. I mean, what psycho is going to want to fight a pasty pale guy with his dudejunk flopping around, right?
 
Guns are not always the answer when you are in a room full of people that want you dead.

You kidding me, my Saiga 12 would be my choice for such a scenerio. I'd give that place a new coat of paint. With or without pants on. :thumbup:

Yes to this.

Charlie Mike, from your posts and pics, you always strike me as the type of guy who'll put on sunglasses, casually light a cigarette, then turn away as you toss the Zippo on the ground, hitting the gasoline trail you've laid out. Then the building explodes, the wind buffeting your trench-coat as you walk away...never looking back.

But that's just me.

You been watching too much Jason Statham movies... I'd call it in from a pay phone.

LOL

I love this answer I couldn't agree more, however if you could choose which would it be?

It's almost like people here forget that their knives have the ability to cut flesh, and rather easily I may add if you have decent sharpening skills. It's not as hard to slash up a bunch of people as you may think, and no you don't need martial arts training. In case you suffer from short term memory loss or think that only a third degree blackbelt can penetrate human skin with a sharp object then let me help you out: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/13/alex-hribal-mental-state_n_5141991.html
