Recommendation for a EDC
Recommendation for a EDC
My partner asked me for a recommendation for a EDC because I own and care for my kitchen knives. But I know nothing about pocket knives, so I'm hoping you all can recommend something lest they walk out with a 8 inch chef's knive peeking from their pocket.
I had a look here, but I just got lost in all those choices.
It doesn't need to be super durable as I should be able to sharpen it for them, but it should be easy to handle. The purported usage is self defense, but I think it will mostly be used to do chore related tasks.
Any solid choices there?
EDIT: after the replies pushing back on using this type of tool for self defense, I've had a talk with my partner and went through the arguments here. They didn't take much convincing that it was a bad idea. Thank you all for pointing it out!
You're viewing a single thread.
Knives really aren't good self defence tools. Without training they are as dangerous to the wielder as to the attacker. Even with training running away is usually a better tactic.
Depending on jurisdiction carrying a knife as a (defensive or offensive) weapon may be illegal. There may also be restrictions on length, foldability, automaticity and concealability to carry a knife as a tool for no particular reason.
Are you aware of their local restrictions? If you let us know we can better advise.
