Buy Knife
For self-defense, should I buy a bowie knife or a tactical knife?
For some reason, we aint allowed have a gun at our house because of the neighborhood we live in. So we keep them at my brothers place. I want to buy a knife for self-defense because I have some skill with them, but cant decide between a bowie knife or a tactical knife. What would you get and why?
Since you can not keep a gun in the house, get yourself a small battery of tools you can easily use.
First, a good flashlight, the brighter the better.
Next, a can of pepper spray.
Someone suggested a baseball bat. Not a bad idea except it is really too long to swing in the house effectively. Notice that a cop’s baton is around 18 inches long. Properly used, it is an effective weapon, lots of training books and videos on stick fighting.
The bowie knife is a poor idea. Too heavy and unless you have good custom made Bowie, cheap and easily dulled metal. Tactical knives are always pricey and often just somebody’s gimmick.
Get a good solid hunting knife. With a fixed blade, between 4 and 5 inches long. With a good comfortable grip. Here’s the one I have.

Back it up with a good single blade folder. Mine is a Kershaw.

All you need now is a yappy little dog. When it come to getting thugs out of the house, the noise these little buggers make is often more effective than the bite from a Rottweiler.
How do you decide to buy a knife for your collection?
