First, thank you, Ray, for the contest.
Now, see the questions:
1. Give one knife fighting tip (run like hell
would be a good one).
When using small fixed blade (Schrade Sharpfinger) concealed in a hip pack, use a thong with large bead that hangs out of zipped pocket unconspicuously for easy grab without making the knife visible. Also, use loose leather sheath inside the pack instead of a tight kydex so you can pull the knife smoothly. Leather is quiet too.
2. Say what knife you carry and why.
Schrade Sharpfinger in a hip pack while jogging in the city park against potential dog attack. Small but sturdy blade has wicked point, unquestionably legal size, low price tag and fits nicely in hip pack. No lock and opening problems. Concealed carry of a knife is legal requirement here. Small hip pack is absolutely innocent-looking, provides great access in front position, can carry OC spray and handkerchief too and does not interfere with movements.
3. Tell us why you would like to win these
books.
To start my learning curve..... and to be able to use any knife as a law-obeying responsible citizen if necessity rises. (Remember 9/11?)
