What would you select out of your collection to protect your family and property if you had to use a blade. Let's limit it to your top 5.

I love these kinds of threads
1. Tramontina 18 inch
2. Becker BK7
3. My CM titanium custom tanto
4. Ontario 12 inch D guard machete
5. Tops Hog 4.5
In reality, a gun would be first but these are probably the strongest and most durable ones I own

About fifteen years ago, I had an intruder in my house in the middle of the night. I was fortunate to defuse the situation by resorting to fisticuffs. My wife still says I was crazy not to grab the big Bridell cleaver that was hanging on a convenient pegboard.

These days, I am not nearly as tough as I used to think I was, so I would probably fall back on my Condor Golok, if for some reason I couldn't put my hands on a gun.

I have considered buying every one of those and then I don't.
 
Battle blade? How about the one my grandfather carried in Europe?

 
M3 trench knife. Estwing tomahawk. Gerber harsey hunter. Gerber yari 2. Tomahawk in my left hand, a knife in the right.
 
Honestly, what I would use is whatever blade was easiest to grab. That would change nightly depending on whether I was doing maintenance on bigger blades.

Tonight, since I'm not working on anything, it would be 1 of the following, as they are always available -

Western W49 Bowie
Becker BK20
Becker BK21
Becker BK9
Machete(s)

Last night, I was sitting here with a table full of edged weapons (30+ swords and sword bayonets), so an alleged invader might have been skewered with (among others) -

1800s Persian cavalry saber,
1917 Remingtom M1917 shotgun bayonet,
1896 M1892 Krag bayonet,
any number of the dozen 16" / 19.5 oz throwing Bowies I was touching up.

Congrats on Platinum, comeuppance.

CM - nice nose job on the 225Q. More "stabby" that the original blade shape. :D Looks like the pommel and handle have had a makeover as well.
