I'm curious as to what types of solutions the > list may have come up with to deal with this potential problem. I went to school at a place that received 260"-320" of snow a year. (6.6 m - 8.2 m) I carried a Spyderco Delica clipped to my sleeve along the inside of the wrist. It was easy to access (just put your hands together) and inconspicuous. ------------------------------ From: Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 20:14:22 -0800 (PST) Subject: eskrima: more hookers ? ? ?

The cost is $30.U.S. They are black with a very nice collar. The edge is bordered either in gold or a gold and red edge.

Thanks Ron Balicki ------------------------------ From: Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 08:20:48 -0600 Subject: eskrima: Re: gloves/knives Eric, In regards to the fixed blade I believe that federal law allows for it to be concealed IF it is under 4" in length. Anything longer than that, and it will have to be carried openly. However, depending on you location, you might not be able to carry a fixed blade in the open. They might even have stricter rules on the blade length. Other locations have problems ,or stupidity:) regarding double edged knives. Some places consider a false edge a double edge. The bottom line is there is no consistency so check your local regulations. If you appear to be a kind and gentle law abiding citizen who is not out looking for trouble, I have been told some LEOs will look the other way on minor infractions, i.e., blade length, double edge, etc. If you have to defend yourself with it, you screwed no matter what you used. It could be a machete or a swiss army. You carved a dude/dudette up regardless and are likely to face serious consequences. Not a nice situation to be in, but I will take a larger knife that I am familiar with over a folder anyday. What was the saying, "It is better to be tried by 12 then carried by 6"? My suggestion for those with longer coats would be to purchase a neck knife. You nearly always have to lift clothing to access it. The fixed blade would offer an advantage over a folder if you had gloves on. You would have to leave the bottom buttons undone on the jacket. Unless the jacket was real bulky I would think it could be deployed as fast as without a jacket with practice. I am referring to a 3/4 length jacket. If you wear a trench coat, I dunno. Carry a katana maybe?

We practice with aluminum or live blades against cardboard, wooden posts and old tires (depending on instructor's mood). Practiced are combinations of slash and stabs. We also spar with our aluminum knives. Sometimes these varieties are done from the draw position, and sometimes they are done starting out with the knife already drawn. (Also at the instructor's discretion.) The usual disarms etc. are also practiced. I don't have the experience of many of the people on this list. I'm sure they could give you many more examples. I'm also curious as to how the practice knife retention.

I don't know about anywhere else, but around here, >if you are carrying a fixed blade and its not hunting season, coming up with >a convincing reason other than paranoia is going to be tough. My favorite non-weapon reason for a knife carry of any kind is a paranoic fear of being trapped in a burning car by a stuck seat belt. Such a seat-belt-cutting-tool could be a fixed blade carried anywhere, covered or open... It seems to me that the only time the average and ordinary citizen will have such a conflict with the Local Constabulary is *after* a knife has been displayed (or used) as a weapon which certainly has to be a good part of your self defence decision. It is legal to arm yourself in Canada in anticipation of an attack if you follow all the rules about carrying a weapon in public...and don't choose a prohibited or restricted weapon.
