Like a knife? Used mine 5 times already this morning Although it has to be said the stench of congealing blood is getting to be a bit much.....I should move these corpses
I meant in a self defence situation. Not just "life". And what did you use your knife for today? I've a feeling that the people that advise carrying a knife are looking for ways to use it to justify carrying it for the real reason they carry it (they like carrying weapons). "Oh look I used my quick release folder to trim my toe nails...it's a useful tool!" I carry a micro leatherman..pretty much useless for self defence but much more useful as a day to day tool as any knife suitable for self defence.
Cut plastic strapping, opened several boxes, trimmed a thread off my shirt, killed several elves, opened a packet of coffee....the usual Currently my EDC is an SAK Sentinel so I have tweezers and a toothpick too!
