Well, if she lives in America, we call that, self defense. It's a paramount RIGHT, guaranteed to us under the Constitution. I realize you live in The United Kingdom, so you don't enjoy the same rights as your kings and queens do...but here, we do our best to assure that filth, is put where it belongs. Be it a prison, or a morgue. If she does live in a country that doesn't regard her life as valuable as she does...then fuck the law, it obviously doesn't care about her.
I would rather be judged by twelve, then carried by six!
Good for you darlin...the only one that you should rely on for your own personal protection, is you.

Please tell me your dad didn't get the same one...
Well, she doesnt live in America, so your constitutional rights dont apply.
The rights of Kings and Queens? Are you trying to tell me that Queen Elizabeth is packing a switchblade in her purse and Prince Phillip is carring a 9mm ready to bust a cap next time someone gets in his face? Yea, the rights of Kings and Queens? Im not sure what you are stabbing at there. (See what I did there? I made a pun!)
But please dont lecture or quote me bullshit lines like judged by 12 than carried by 6. Save that for the T-Shirt companies.
Dont get me wrong though, I agree the UK is so soft on helping those who need it, its borderline disgraceful. But at the same time, people who carry a knife in so called self defence doesnt guarantee them safety.
Hypothetical - BB walks home, a large man, possible multiples follow her. A sex crime or random mugging ensues, she goes for her knife and is overpowered. Attackers use said knife on her, to mutilate or kill.
Carrying a Knife, weapon intended for self defence is admirable. Man and woman being equal in the blame, your intentions might be justifiable in your eyes. But you invite trouble.
Heres another cliche line -
The best way to survive a knife fight, is not to get into one.

I live in the Netherlands and a knife of this size is still legal to own. I looked up what the law states about knives and it's not legal to carry it on a belt or in your pocket in public, i.e. in direct reach. The law says nothing about carrying it in a purse or other type of bag :dunno:
According to Dutch law one has the right to use lethal force as an absolute last measure. Hopefully I'll never have to use it but it does make me feel a bit safer.

I don't want to start a discussion about the American Constitution but the problem with that constitution right is that the bad guys are having these weapons in the first place.
It cuts both ways you know... (pun intended)

Weöö, in german law, knifes like the one Boothbabe got are legal for you to carry around.
The line gets drawn:
- can you open it with one hand?
- Is the blade longer than 12 cm?
- there are more points but these are the essentials. And I think it could even help pack a better punch, if you don't want to go full force. You can wrap your fst around it and this way protect your hand from getting broken, and have an extra weight in your hits.

Okay. As far as DOA82 goes.
I like your pun...and I agree, she takes a chance of loosing big time with a knife, she's clearly rolling the dice. Maybe she would rather take a chance, then take a beating. I personally would rather see her with a small manageable firearm...but I would guess that's not legal for her.
You are right, the Prince isn't packing heat, and the Queen doesn't have a switchblade in her pocket...they have a huge security force. Do you? Or are you expected to just die because your life isn't worth as much as theirs. I still can't believe you people let them take your fucking guns!
My cliche may look good on a t-shirt....but I believe it, and I live it. I'm fed up with the filth in my country doing as they please. I have a CCW, and I carry EVERYDAY, and EVERYWHERE. If it's a place that prohibits me, I won't go there.
For L3ggy....see the last paragraph of the above section. I always have gun, and a knife....because you never know.
For Booth Babe....As I said, you shouldn't rely on anyone but yourself, and I give you credit for taking the initiative to look after yourself. I respect that, and your father for thinking of you.
jayhellcat...but the bad guys always will...the only people that abide by the law, are the law abiding. If you took away the rights of the law abiding, the criminals would still get guns...look at Mexico, and their gangs. You don't really think more then 3 or 4 percent of those guns come from America do you? They come from the Southern borders, and corrupt police and politicians within Mexico.

Because we don't have the same mentality towards "fucking guns" as what you lot do. Simple really.
Spydercos are good knives - very comfortable, easy to use & reliable. Dad made a nice purchase.
I understand what some of you are saying about taking a chance when you carry a knife but I will only use it as a last resort if my life is in danger. I've been practicing Krav Maga for the last 3,5 years so I'm confident I can handle myself without a knife. I guess it's just the idea of feeling a little bit extra safe knowing I'll have it on me if god forbids there ever comes a day I need it.

We have that mentality because of your country...remember? We learned a valuable lesson, and I hope we continue to remember.
To me that seems like an awfully convenient exploitable loophole.
In response to revidffum, its a stupid question asking if I have a huge security force. Of course I dont.
As youve said, personal security falls on no one else but ourselves. We can take steps beyond carrying weapons that if found will get us in as much trouble as those who go looking for trouble. But we have to agree to disagree there.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Good for you. . .I guess? :dunno:
