When I was doing my nature walks in the jungle I carried an aircrew survival knife a little smaller than the K-Bar but very useful for sentries when one needed quiet. Yes the K-Bar was good but there are stories of it going all the way through and out the other side injuring the person weilding it. Now I have not used one of the folders for such a task but I presume many of the better ones would be up to the job.

From what I understand, at least based on what I've read, it's not uncommon for the "operator" to cut themselves, given the unpredictability of the situation, the force involved, and the proximity required.

The first rule of knife fighting: "Expect to get cut."

Not my idea of a pleasant night out.

doing my nature walks

LOL!

Not my idea of a pleasant way to spend time, but a lot better than bare knuckles!
