Yes, I know there is a sub for knives but I see cool shit posted here in GD by people who aren't in the sub then forget what the title of the thread was and then get bored trying to search through every random knife related thread in GD.
This is what I usually carry for long bike rides:

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MaxxII: The blade shape is useful for that, but I'm not personally a fan of full serrations, and have actually gone to no serrations as time has gone on. Serrations are a real PITA to sharpen and on a personal defense knife dont do as much as one would think. They look mean as hell though. I ran a serrated knife through my thumb once. It ran all the way to the bone quickly and my thumb was like pacman in an instant. |

My kids have done pretty good with that. We've only had three or four pretty minor incidents. Nothing terrible by any means. And those were a while ago. You can't really expect a 3 year old to understand that fully. |

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. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: https://i.imgur.com/oq36wJb.jpg yeah, I dunno...this double rye has a different tang. Not bad, just not my flavor panel. Wife said yes, but if you pour enough vernor's in there, you don't notice. I looked for Vernor's at the Mom and Pop liquor store but no luck. It's always fun to drop by there. They are kinda like the Costanzas except he's got a thick Japanese accent and she's got a deep southern accent and sometimes speaks Japanese. |

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. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: They're nice pictures. It's actually depth of field that is needed, not focus too. You can't get both the background and the foreground in focus without a high f-stop, which requires a lot of light or a long exposure and a tripod (or use a timer and set it down). You can fairly easily get the phone to focus on the knife (just tap the screen where it is) but then the background will be blurry instead without more depth of field. Thanks for the indirect correction lecture, which ended being about focus anyways... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MaxxII: Oh, serrated blades will absolutely cut you. 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. 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. |
