But in a self defense knife I dont see how they cut substantially better than a standard knife blade (on flesh), that justifies the increased effort required for sharpening. |

But in a self defense knife I dont see how they cut substantially better than a standard knife blade (on flesh), that justifies the increased effort required for sharpening. View Quote Unless you live a substantially more "interesting" life than I do, I imagine a self defense knife isn't going to be used enough to worry about sharpening. If it does get used, my guess is that it's going to stay with the police for a while anyway. If I was going to get a dedicated SD knife, I'd probably lean towards serrated so the blade has more "bite" in clothing. I agree that skin/meat probably doesn't matter much for serrated or not. |

View Quote How often are you slashing people that you worry about sharpening a Civilian or Matriarch? It's not like it's a useful EDC knife that you'd cut a lot of other stuff with. Well, maybe packing tape with the tip, which is easy to sharpen. Would be a good rope knife, too, I guess, but I don't find myself cutting a lot of rope. Wait, are you a serial kidnapper? Tying people up all the time, and dulling your knife on all that rope? |

I'd use a 20 gauge or .22 usually, but did use a .17 HMR a few times. That thing would absolutely rip them apart. Messy and expensive to shoot compared to the .22 so didn't really use it much. |
