A knife should be attached to the end of your rifle.
Gerber Guardian backup is my favorite, but sadly they are now discontinued.
The Gerber Guardian was one of my favorite knives of all time. Some parking lot attendant stole mine out of my car.
When I studied martial arts, our knife instructor told us that if you have to defend against a knife, just know that you WILL get cut. There’s no avoiding it. You just have to make sure you don’t get KILLED.
Being unhappy with lowering IQs on the subject of guns the AM Journal now branching into knives.
“Have you ever noticed how everyone seems to be an expert on something these days? Whether it be geopolitics, food, parenting, guns, knives, survival techniques, self-defense, basket weaving ”
Hey, I have a triple A expert certification in self-defense basket weaving!
ParaCord is Next level,
Monkey Fist!
I did something I generally don’t do, and clicked on the article. Nothing really useful said.
That is THE most ironic thing 'Am Shooting Journal' has EVER published.

Next they will branch out into fresh fruit.
For immediate openers if you can, make a slice across forehead. Gushing salty blood will blind them. If you miss you may catch an eye instead which is okay too. Just a suggestion.
But people be watching Kojak and s___ too much. They think they have to be [singing] *MACHO MAN* I’ll take that knife and shove it up your a__. [singing] I’m *MACHO MAN*!!!
You go from *MACHO MAN* to *DEAD PERSON*!

Story I heard from a veteran friend during bayonet training.
Instructor: If your bayonet gets stuck in your opponents body, firing a round will usually dislodge the bayonet.
Private: Sergeant, if I still have a round in my weapon, why am I using the bayonet?
Instructor: Private! Push-Ups! Lots of Push-Ups!
The correct answer of course, is to put your boot up to the puncture and kick him off.
A Karambit knife makes for a good gutting knife.
Martial arts instructors have all stated, if you go against a knife, you best plan to get cut. You just have to guard the most vital parts. Don’t expose the inside of your arms and your guard needs to be arms in front of core, neck and face turned so that you are looking at the inside of your hands.
I saw an instructor go through any number of people who tried to “knife” fight him. Every single one lost. The instructor screamed like a wild banshee and stabbed constantly over and over rushing in. Each of the opponents got one short attempted stab in at him and he was on them like the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s Ark, stabbing constantly.
The vast majority of Americans have no clue what to do with a madman. And neither do I, which is why I carry a gun or stungun. Put the sucker down with the first hit.
Understand one thing about defending against edged weapons... you’re gonna get cut.
