I sell knives, so get the obligatory deluge of questions on which one for what- in general, for defence, few smaller blades work as well as a big one, and folders are inferrior to fixed blades for reasons of strength- but with the fixed blades one gets into trouble with the law if its too big and concealed- so check your states laws, and see what the local ones are too, regarding what the legal blade length is, and what you can or cannot conceal- here, for instance, a CRKT m-16 with a four inch blade is legal in most cities, but because of a badly written law, a camilus lev-r-lock, or one of the same company's cuda's, is technicaly a switchblade and illegal under the states definition. - whatever you go with, check the laws- then practice like its a religion- and as mentioned above- expect to get cut if you are in a knife fight...and as for the scary looking knife idea, a local guy I know teaches ccb, and the man that taught him said that you realy fight two battles when you defend yourself- one in the street, and one in court- that scary looking blade can put you in jail, whick is why i prefer to carry "normal " knives instead of folding "tactical Knives"- perception realy matters, from the cop to the jury.
