I feel like I should post here.. first off there is rarely a "defensive" use of a knife. Getting into a knife fight intentionally is a bad bad bad bad bad idea. That little Ulu folder is NOT a knife i'd wnat to have if it came to blades. Looks fine for dressing game. Looks like it would require specialized training to use as a weapon. Don't like folders for that sort of weapon either. One of those $10 carbon fiber box knives would serve you better.

I'm with sikes/fairbain on this a knife designed for fighting should be long and pointed, you need to get under the ribs and hit vitals. seven inches is a good blade. This is also a concealed weapon in mosts states, not every CCW covers a commando dagger. the sikes/fairbain (am i spelling that right?) knives are a bit 'thin' in cross section for me, but they aren't designed as 'utility' knives, the are designed to stab and cut people, not to be used like a 'bayonet' which is a tool more than a weapon.
