Wow, thanks for all the thoughtful replies fellas. I think I'll stick to my guns (pun intended) for now. That knife business seems awfully messy to me. To each his own though. I guess the ideal scenario would be to have a scary looking knife that would halt an attacker from coming at you. I certainly don't fancy the idea of getting into a slashing match with someone else. Thank you all again.
