Self defense, tool, what do you carry on a daily basis? What do you use it for and how well do you like it?

I don't live in a terrible neighborhood but it can be rough sometimes. I want my lady to be able to defend herself if she has to.

Actually you will just be providing an assailant with a weapon to use on your girlfriend. Giver her mace or pepper spray but not a knife.

I think carrying a knife for personal defense isn't very practical, personally. I suppose if you had the training, but as long as I've carried a pocket knife, it's always been because it's a handy tool.

I've actually gotten out of carrying one, and it's because of my cell phone. I don't want a knife in the same pocket scratching it up. Instead, I keep a small folder in my desk at work. It's a great little knife, it takes mini-box cutter blades that are cheap and very sharp.

A Gerber. Can't be bothered to remember which one. You DON'T defend yourself with a knife. But it's a great tool, I use it almost daily.

i think if i had a knife and used it for self defense, more than likely the knife would get turned around and used on me. i would prefer pepper spray or something that wont kill me in the hands of someone else.
