I have used my knife in one or two defensive situations but the Knife moment I will remember most is when I handed my knife to a cop buddy of mine to cut down an attempted suicide. Early one morning on a holiday weekend I went out to play with my dog. A disraught young man decided that of all teh trees in queens he would pick the one out in front of my house to hang himself from. When I returned in the car there was my freind desperatly trying to relieve the wieght on the guys neck.(My freind lived upstairs) Now my freind is NOT very strong so I knew that this wasnt going to last long. The guy was already out so although my nieghbor was helping he was trying to keep up a guy who was like a sack of wet rags. I jumped out and got under the guy to help keep him up while my niebor ran for a ladder. My freind scurried up the ladder as my niehbor and I held the guy up from underneath. Guess what Got a ladder but no knife. I always have a knife. Through the grunts and groans of suporting him I handed up my puma and My freind cut him down. He survived and came back about three months latter while the three of us were having a bbQ and thanked us. Whenever someone freaks about me carrying knives I always remember that day. It was a holiday weekend at 7 am.
