Aloha,

The internet has LOTS of photos of victims of knife attacks.

Watching locals at fish markets take apart a 200 pound tuna to bare bones

with Razor Sharp knives the size of a machete in a few minutes is eye opening.

The thing to remember is that a knife unlike a gun Never runs out of bullets.

A knife wit CUT going in and out. It will Cut up/down/sideways, any direction.

Being of Japanese ancestry, I am very much aware of the edged weapon as used in Japan.

Be aware that tests of a samurai sword involved slicing condemned prisoners in 5 different ways which left the prisoner in bits and pieces.

My Dad's 10" Razor sharp sashimi knife is very capable of disemboweling anyone. It can very easily take an arm off.

I am More Afraid of a Knife than a gun.

Any Good martial artist can disarm a person with a gun out, finger on the trigger before a shot can be fired.

To me anyone with a knife within 50' is too close.

You can expect my M58 to go Full Auto
