So my girlfriend expressed an interest in carrying a knife with her to work. She used to carry my SOG Flash II. This knife seemed to be along the lines of what she was looking for. Although there were issues. The main issue was the safety. She doesn't want to fumble around with a safety, and I don't blame her. The length was ok, and also the styling of the grip. She didn't want anything overly tactical looking. Also, price point was another problem. She wanted one around the same price as the SOG. Personally I don't mind spending a little more on a nice one, since this is her chosen defensive tool. I would just say it was $50 like the SOG. Can anyone recommend a folding blade without a safety? Hopefully something with a stronger metal. Wouldn't want the thing to snap if it ever saw use. The SOG has a groove in the front which we both like. Seems to hold the hand in place. So far I have looked at this gerber knife. Any other ideas? |

+1 best of 2011. Clark; Unless she is prepared to spend some time learning how to knife fight, this is a really bad idea. It is laughably easy to take a knife off someone who doesn't know what they're doing. In which case all you've done in that scenario is provide them with a weapon and her with a false sense of security. A few girls I know carry small kubotans on their keyrings. Again, you need to spend some time doing drills to properly learn how to use it (In a Dojo, with someone who knows what they're doing, not just watching youtube videos of it). I would be much more in favour of my woman carrying one than a knife. If you really must go down the knife route, there are better knives for the money than SOGs. |

2 options: 1) martial arts (karate=no knife necessary) 2) stab her = no further expenses, no girlfriend, you're free to spam the whole internet on any subject you want |

I would recommend Judo as a the basis for a lady's first foray into self defence. It takes longer and a lot more commitment for a woman to get to the stage where she can have a good chance of fist fighting and kicking her way out of being attacked by an (often much larger) male. Learning basic grappling and a couple of throws will give her a much better chance of putting her assailant down for long enough to run away*. *Which is all you should be doing to begin with. Save the "teaching them a lesson" heroics for the people who make a habit of fighting. |

I favor a 15" Kahler-Klassen damascus steel butter knife with a custom fitted basket-weave Grollbacher copper-resin haft. |

But seriously, what every woman should know is Savate, the art of furious French foot fighting. The French, they are a funny race they fight with the feet and make babies with the face |

Like Karate, she's not going to get to the stage where she has a fair chance of fighting off an attacker within half a dozen one hour sessions. If she is prepared to invest the time necessary for it, great. |
