>This thread is not a Mortal Kombat match where each opponent gets the same weaponNo, but if someone is going to try to fucking ambush me, chances are they are going to do it with a something small, concealable, easy to access, and easy to explain away, such as a knife. Especially if they're in some shithole European country where guns are restricted.
>If I am being attacked at random on a streetThis thread is specifically about not being attacked on a street, retard. If you're in the woods, what is most likely to be in your hands at that moment, a tool that you're literally using to help you walk or a knife?
>Read the book I linked to.I'm not buying a book to humor your dumbass opinion.
A knife has literally zero defensive capability, aside from killing your opponent before he can kill you. Thats fine for something like a handgun that doesn't require you to be in hugging distance with your opponent while he bleeds out to work, but its a shit option when your entire objective is to avoid harm yourself. I hope you and your new buddy have fun stabbing each other to death though, you goddamn mall ninja.
