Anyone here got any experience having a knife as a "CCW" or back-up self-defense weapon?
I'm trying to figure out what's best way to carry a knife? Obviously I'm not trying to go around with a bowie or kukri, I have one of those pig iron Vietnam era short k-bar knives made for being carried inside a boot, but I have weird ankles and the knife pressing on my lower shin cuts of circulation fast (wearing lose boots makes the knife rock back and forth inside and makes walking unconfortable).
I can CCW a Model 66 .357 without a problem with a large t-shirt and pants, but for some reason everytime I try to carry a knife it just sticks out like I got a side boner. How do you guys do it?
Also I don't think folding knives are very realiable, all models I ever purchased broke on me from simple use, including the fancy ones.

1. Never buy a folding knife that's less than $50. Of course those are going to break because they're cheap POSs.
2. Folding knives that clip onto the outside of the front pocket are best for concealment and quick access.
3. Knives are better than nothing in a fight, but inexperienced knife users are just as likely to hurt themselves than their assailant. If you're going to carry a knife for defense, then get training, otherwise stick to guns.
4. In some states it's illegal to carry knives for anything other than utility purposes. Look up your local laws.

A rock can break glass. The end of that knife can break glass. Anything can break glass.
And kbar is a good brand and that's a good knife but you don't need a 7 inch fixes blade as a carry.

If you are buying the Cold Steel stuff from California, then it's memeverse.
But if you are buying the line from South Africa, then it's gold. Legit gold. (in short, all the machetes, tomahawks, hatchets and hunting knives are good to go like all >$100 knives)
