The realities of our modern life are such that, with the onset of twilight, walking in the streets has become extremely unsafe. Therefore, it's time to get some simple tools that will allow you to defend your property and, possibly, even life. However, let's first decide what is the difference between a knife for self-defense and cold steel?
So, according to our legislation, the length of the blade at the knife, intended for self-defense, should not exceed nine centimeters, and the width - two and a half. In addition, the hardness of the metal your tool is made of should be no more than 42 units. In the event that a folding knife for self-defense does not meet these parameters, law enforcement agencies may well detain you for carrying cold steel weapons.
Along with this, such a tool of economic or domestic importance as a garden, kitchen, boot, penknife, you have the right to carry with you, and you can even use it as a henchman, a tool that accidentally came to hand in defense against a criminal attack. By the way, very many do just that, carrying with them, as if by chance, not a special knife for self-defense, but, for example, “a gift useful in the household for a beloved mother-in-law”. The situation is similar with gas cartridges, which in the near future they plan to equate in arms, withdraw from free sale and sell only upon presentation of a permit. In this case, you can calmly carry some cheap domestic hair spray with you and put it into use when there is an urgent need.
Well, now is the time for us to go, in fact, to practical recommendations regarding the choice of a knife for self-defense.
1. Immediately close all already open links and stop tormenting search engines with the question of how to buy a knife for self-defense. In solving this problem, online stores with their rich assortment of such remedies will not help us. But we can find the real addresses of outlets selling similar goods in our city.
2. "Trying on" this or that knife, remember that it should lie confidently in your hand. In an exciting situation, the palm of your hand will necessarily sweat, so there is a risk that your fingers will slip off the handle, and you yourself will mutilate your fingers. The material of the pen does not play a fundamental role - here you have the right to rely on your taste and sensations.
3. If you want to buy a folding self-defense knife, be sure to make sure that the selected model is equipped with a blade lock. Moreover, the stronger the lock, the better for you. Otherwise, a sharp blade may form on your fingers, injuring you to the delight of the criminal.
4. Pay attention to the material of the blade itself. You don’t want it to just break down during operation? Then please pass by cheap Chinese-made products.
5. And one more significant detail when buying a knife. The product should be sincerely liked by you. You must feel it in your hand. This is not necessarily discussed.
By the way, about the price. Immediately determine how much you are willing to allocate for this purchase. True, by and large, an expensive weapon for self-defense will not be able to help if you do not have the skills and at least decisiveness and quick wit. And yes, by the way, if you can’t tolerate the type of blood, then carrying a knife with you for defense is generally an empty undertaking. Better look at other remedies.
Now you know how to choose a knife for self-defense. However, do not hope that he is a panacea for criminals. Yes, it is possible that teenage hooligans will scatter away, blinded by the brilliance of a sharp blade. But professional robbers saw in their practice and not that. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to learn the technique of knife fighting, and at the same time hand-to-hand combat.
