I carry a knife at times but never for self defense. I think I would be better off with my fists than a knife. I just don't have the training and very few people do. I have a friend who is trained in a lot of different schools and actually teaches CQC (Close quarter combatives). He basically said the same thing. Most people will only get hurt with their knife. Someone that knows what they are doing will take it from you.

At 14, you are begging for trouble. Get (another?) hobby.

If you choose to fight, the obvious goal is to physically beat them or make them submit.

Bring a potentially lethal weapon into the equation & the goal becomes death, which is also the potential stakes for yourself.

Are you really ready to kill or be killed at 14?

Take Scott's advice & learn to wrestle.
It will give you the initial advantage every time.
Submit the guy without anyone really being injured.

I carry a Leatherman everywhere I go, does that count? I just removed a tick from my dog's a** with it too.

If you're needing a knife for self defense at your age, you either:
a) Need to tell your parents to move you to a less dangerous location
or
b) Need to shut your pie hole around town

Exactly on all parts.
I wish leathermans existed when I was a kid. That would have been perfect for me

 

[av8er]

if your so worried about being Ph**cked Up

and if I were u kid I would be ! carry a roll 0f nickels with a little black electrical tape around them. and let your fists do the talking. I carried a small pocket knife with me since i was 7 or 8 on the farm but it sure the he!! didn't have a name like the CRKT M16-10KZ to the 3rd power. it was a buck or a schrade or such and it was used as a tool kind of like pliers. Little Dude you have serious Issues!!!

 

[Wheel House Motorsports]

i roll with a pretty nice crkt.. but its a tool for me. pry bar/screwdriver/hammer/etc. sometimes i even cut things with it.. love it. had it for almost 4 years now.

Have you seen his card?

id carry a freakin shotgun if i had a card like that.. definately need protection.

 

[HDEMWET]

just curious if your dad had an account on here by the name of moonfire??? he was a "pilot" his wife was a "surgeon" and he lived in a "nascar mansion". he was on here stirring up sh!t all last summer, you sound a lot alike.

 

[summitpeaking]

On a side note, if you are planning on using a knife as a self-defense weapon, wouldn't you want a switchblade?

"Hold on a second sir, I need to unfold my weapon". He'd had already shot you by that point, or at the very least been pounding you into submission. Folding knives aren't exactly the best choice in close proximity combat.

I carry knives all the time

Sometimes while hunting..If a miracle occurs and I actually manage to kill something, I hack my way through the critter, haul it out of the woods, and promptly leave my knife next to the unlucky critter. Then I go and get another knife. Been doing this for years now.

Whatever happened to the good ol' Swiss Army? I got into a pretty nasty tussle with a bottle of Hefeweizen once and took his head right off with it. Oh yeah, and then his tough talking French buddy Merlot came after me and I wrecked his day too!

I am not a Martial Arts expert, but I have seen a couple of "black belts" in action before. One was in a hockey fight and he didn't really fare too well. The other was with a set of brown shoes and that didn't go very well either.

I guess the crazy thing about the internet now is kids can put most of their irrational fantasy scenarios out there for the world to see...and then be judged accordingly.

 

[Racer220]

I don't get what your problem is? Ya so I'm a little cocky. Act your damn age and get over it. Nothing to beef about.

If your going to play tough guy don't do it over the computer.

Don't worry. You're not the first person I have had to put back to reality with this. As almost all previous posts stated, you're 14, enjoy it while it lasts. Don't gear yourself up for something that has little chance of happening. And while your at it, try posting something on the forum that actually has to do with snowmobiling. Seems odd to pay for Premium Membership just to post a bunch of useless stuff in Fouled Plug. I don't have any hand-to-hand combat training or specialized weapons training because quite frankly I think that crap is useless unless you are in the military or law enforcement. Martial arts is all about self discipline and controlling your opponent which is great.............if they are doing the exact same moves as you and you know what to expect. Carry a knife if you want. Lots of people do. Just don't expect to whip it out and Chuck Norris some dude that is probably high on meth and wouldn't quit going after what he wants until he bleeds out from your highly skilled defense training a** kicking. Play sports, go camping, ride sleds. We just don't want to read about you in obituary some day is all we're saying. Make sense?? PM me if you want to discuss your true goals in life. I have been known to mimic the personality of the one and only Dr. Phil.

They upgraded them and called them a Leatherman! That's as much as a knife as I carry on a daily bases. I even have my concel and carry permit but the only time I carry is on ATV's and Sled's. I guess it's more for safty from animals then people.

And I know what you mean. I once was attacked by bag of beef jerky. But after it meet my serrated knife (Would have used the regular knife but I pulled out the wrong one) it was cut wide open!!

This is my Knife.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My Knife is my best friend.
It is my life. I must master it,
as I must master my life.

Without me my Knife is useless.
Without my Knife, I am useless.
I must stab my Knife true.
I must stab straighter than my enemy who
is trying to kill me.
I must stab him before he stabs me.
I will.

Before God I swear this creed.
My Knife and myself are defenders of my country.
We are the masters of our enemy.
We are the saviours of my life.
So be it ... until there is no enemy

but peace.

Amen.



I've been active duty for 9 years now, and carry a knife every day. Its not for self defense, its a tool I use on occasion to cut things. The only time I considered it for self defense was when I was in Iraq last summer. You don't typically carry a loaded weapon while on base and there are a lot of local nationals and third country nationals that work on base. I wasn't going to trust them as far as I could throw them. The other thing was if I was ever in a roll-over in an MRAP, I had it on my body armor and could use it to cut the seatbelt.

I will say that it is very very unlikely that you will be put in a situation where you can not retreat, or otherwise escape without having to defend yourself with a knife. 99% of the time, these situations are avoidable, the other 1% you will be bringing a knife to a gun fight. Oh and don't be the guy who pulls a knife when someone tries to fight you 1 on 1. As soon as you draw steel, someone will be throwing lead. If there is reason, then throw down like a man and give/take your licks like one. Everyone has a few scrapes growing up, its just part of life.


Took this a minute ago, straight out of my pocket. Its been around the world with me:

Just get yourself a 50 cal desert eagal and call it a day. Your going to need it to protect your new ride that your going to buy when ch!t goes down in the middle school parking lot. Speaking of that how much room is there for parking? You know you dont want to park too close to someones Schwin and be getting all up on their turf. That and you need it to protect yourself from the wedgies they will be giving you after they see your new card.

You just wip that little baby out and b yaches be giving you some respect. That or they turn around and shove it up your ace and use it on you. Or it knocks you out when it whips back and catches you in the face.

I usually carry this knife with me. May be a bit bulky but you know you never know when you will need lots of tools.

 

[snowman*150*]

And this is my emergency knife...

 

[xrated]

When I was 14 the only tactical training I had was removing a cheerleaders bra...and I did that with military precision.

And 30 seconds later you were running to clean your shorts up before she found out.
