It only has a 1.25" blade,,,
But it's very sharp.
It's on my key chain and it comes to hand very readily,,,
If someone were to physically assault me,,,
I'm hoping to get one good swipe,,,
Preferably in the femoral area,,,
Or wherever big veins will be.
Any time I am walking towards my car,,,
it doesn't matter day or night,,,
That knife is in my hand,,,
It's my key chain fob.
In February following 911,,,
I had to fly to Boston.
I was not happy about getting on a plane at that time,,,
Especially as I knew they wouldn't allow me to have my "weapons".
So I wore Levi's with the heaviest trophy buckle I owned,,,
The belt is a weapon most people don't consider,,,
But as a short flail it's quite effective.
Most people will laugh at the thought,,,
But I will take on just about any box knife wielder,,,
If I have 18 or so inches of leather with a big buckle on the end of it.
My Black Belt has turned gray from 30+ years of disuse,,,
But I do recall the effective belt/sash techniques Mr. Chan taught us.
I may be old and getting fatter by the minute,,,
But I am never ever totally unarmed.
Just wait until I start to use a cane.
