What knife is best to carry? It must be child safe.?

Question

One of my neighbors has been really creepy, like if I walk my dog he gets in his car and follows me. I am a little freaked out. I already carry pepper spray but am considering a knife as well, any advice?

Answer 1

Get a switchblade.

Answer 2

Forget about getting a knife.  They are in no way "child safe".  First, call the police and report the events.  Documentation will be your best friend, in the event that you take this person to court.  Second, if you are comfortable with this, obtain a gun permit, buy a gun and practice with it.  Be very familiar with the safety features of the weapon and buy a safe, in which you can store the weapon, while you are at home.  Become familiar with the stipulations on carrying a firearm in your area.  Keep in mind that you should only use the gun as a complete last resort to protect you or your child.  Also, keep in mind that your gun can be taken away and used against you.  Take all of the firearms safety courses that you can find.  Good luck!

Answer 3

A "child safe" blade is not really possible. A blade that can be used to cut up a creepy neighbor can also cut up any number of children, whether they deserve it or not.

Answer 4

A 3'' lock blade knife.

Answer 5

Like pepper said, it can be used against you. Unless you're willing to take some classes and practice with it, using edged weapons is a tricky thing.  If you brandish it and someone takes it away, what do you think will happen?  Now you have a threatening person with YOUR knife.

Now, to answer your question.  The best knife is one that you can handle and is legal.  Spending anymore than $30-$50 is too much.

Answer 6

Keep in mind any weapon you carry can be used against you.There is no child proof knife,although some have a built in safety feature which keeps it open,any child can operate it easily.You need to report this to the police if it bothers you that much he may just be a neighborhood watch person.The local police will certaintly know if there is one in your area.That said,with gas prices and all if it keeps happening I would report it.

Answer 7

Get a .45 semi automatic pistol that isn't loaded until he gets out of the car, thats child safe. You can't protect a kid from a knife, a knife is like a loaded gun.
