about this self defense thing...
...im not going to use a knife on someone unless its absolutely 100 percent necessary! ive found myself in VERY sticky situations and ive never once shown my blade.
about those ceramic rods, i would love that, if i could only get the hang of the damned things. i use stoned because they're all ive ever used.
as for the karate thing...
im trained in tae kwon do (does nothing for blades) and a little aikido..but not enough to reassure myself "hey, this fuckers going to lose that knife!"
so yeah, like i said..mostly used for practical purposes, but a quick blade would be nice
