I have a 30 year old Gerber assault knife. Two sided fixed blade with a metal handle. Has a quick release sheath. You couldn't carry in a bar here so I used to tuck it away when in the rougher cowboy bars where I was hunting. Kept it sharp as a razor. Idea with the design was one thrust in and pull right then left and sever the heart in half. Never had to use it but then I always have a pistol within arms reach and never had to fire it either. At 73 I think I will give it all up and just sh1t my pants when attacked.

Carry a butter knife and walk a German Shepherd off the leash. No one will mess with you.

I walk regularly in an urban area of Dallas and I need a recommendation for an everyday knife that is LEGAL, easy to operate, small profile and not “gadgety.”
I’m a knife novice, so a specific brand and model I can google for purchase would be helpful.
As a pacifist and an extreme Liberal Democrat, I post this with no satisfaction. ROFLMAO!

The only way I am using a knife for protection is if I run out of bullets. 
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-13-25328-gco.jpg)

How about a Rapala folding filet knife. Slim and has a long blade that can easily fit in your back pocket. You can slice but I prefer a light trigger and a full mag or two.

I haven’t read this entire thread but as a pacifist and extreme liberal democrat why don’t you just let the government take care of you?

I’m not reading all of this, but have throwing stars been mentioned yet? That’s the only real answer.

Carry a can of wasp and hornet spray , the stuff that sprays 30 ft, that would have to be a bad azz way to back someone off Those things malfunction on me at the worst times. You’re pointing it in the wrong direction  Then you better get a $200 Benchmade , its hurts more to get jabbed with one than a cheapo.
GOD is good!
