what constitutes an "auto"?
how does that differ, if at all, from a spring assist?

The unfortunate truth is that your knife will not help you when your outlaw assailant draws his pistol. With any luck your local police will arrive in time to collect untainted evidence and who knows, they may eventually find your killer!

A knife could prove useful in trained hands. However, very few people have the skill to fight effectively with a knife and even fewer people have the stomach for it.

Knife training?? Anyone know any classes or dvds? I don't want to learn any kung-fu type crap, just some basic where to stick someone in a situation.
I carry a Cold Steel "Voyager" folder, plain edge, clip-point, 4" blade. I removed the pocket clip and carry it pivot-down in my right front trouser pocket. Spyderco and Gerber also offer excellent folders for concealed carry. Go with a 4" blade for the best combination of cutting power and concealability. Forget serrated edges. Much too hard to resharpen. Best bet would be to carry completely concealed, no clip showing. A number of cities in MA have anti-knife ordinances that are arrestable offenses, so the less that is open to plain view, the better.My LTC-A is restricted. I carry a cheap knife in my pocket now, but are there other options? It need to be concealed, but easy to get to. I am not looking to spend a lot of cash either.
Thanks!

Bump,
If you are in Medford there is the Boston Academy of Krav Maga. I'll PM you the address.

Krav will not teach you how to fight with a knife, but will teach you how to defend against one.
I did Krav in Boston, then some Serrada Escrima. Both are fun.
Real-life situations happen very quickly. It may start with a couple of punks sizing you up on the street or some a-hole drunk deciding to have a go at you because you accidentally bumped into him in line at a club or restaurant. Because of the close-quarters and maybe even low-light conditions, a pistol could be a disadvantage. If he is within arm's length, he could easily knock the pistol out of your grasp or take it away from you. Since most fights are up-close and nasty, a knife or small impact weapon (sap) are good weapons for self-defense. Col. Jeff Cooper got it right when he noted that you are no more armed because you own/carry a pistol than you are a musician because you own/carry a guitar. Hardened criminals practice gun-disarms in prison to use against the police. They can easily defeat even Level III retention holsters and disarm an officer within a couple of seconds. Firearms have an advantage over edged or impact weapons when there is distance. When the fight is hand-to-hand or goes to the ground, a firearm becomes a liability to its carrier unless such person is very highly trained in weapon retention.Yes, I agree. Pistol vs. Knife = Pistol wins. If had a gun pointed at me I would not go for the knife. However, there are other self defense scenarios where the knife would come in handy. Agree?
