EDC Knife, thoughts on plain edge vs serrated for self defense?

[SpeedOften]

I've been in a few scuffles in my time. I've had a couple knives pulled on me. IF any of those knives had been fixed blades, I might not be here, or they might have died of lead poisoning. That's how much of an advantage they are. The dudes never got them open.

The title of this thread should be: Thoughts on fixed vs. folding for self defense?

Good luck getting a folding knife out and open in the middle of an altercation.

I have a cheap LApolicegear folding knife. It's quite easy to open one handed. http://www.lapolicegear.com/lapg-rescue-edc-folding-knife.html

When it's closed the knob sticks out and can be used to leverage the knife open. Cheap Chinese crap but it works.
