zoid 24 Posted January 3, 2013 Not like this is a scientifically backed study, but I made this video a while ago. It was more to point out why knife laws are in fact DUMB. It is clear any of these knives can open as quickly as their counterparts with the same amount of ease. It also proves that the balisong which is illegal serves no advantage in respect to its method of deployment. In fact it is more dangerous to the USER. Hope you enjoy.

BlueLineFish 615 Posted January 3, 2013 Since when does a law have tobmake sense to be passed. If it looks scary then ban it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikos 31 Posted January 3, 2013 A better comparison would be from concealed to full open. I prefer manual over auto since I have more control of the blade under various circumstances. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnthonyC83 0 Posted January 6, 2013 NJ knife laws make no sense. Bali's are illegal for the same reason flash suppressors and bayonet lugs are illegal on AR's. because they look and sound scary lol. That said, I have all kinds of knives because I collect them. Autos, balis, assisted, customs and productions of all kinds. I love steel!! lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm actually going to make a video comparing draw speeds with a pistol from concealed and a knife from concealed. I'm quite sure the gun is much faster. Then again i have more practice with the gun then i do the knife. But we'll see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bishop 0 Posted January 29, 2013 I'm actually going to make a video comparing draw speeds with a pistol from concealed and a knife from concealed. I'm quite sure the gun is much faster. Then again i have more practice with the gun then i do the knife. But we'll see. Try a dry run. Holster a unloaded. Pocket a stub/hole knife. Have a friend run at you from say 15 feet and try not to back up, as if you have a wall behind you. The reality of both will surpise you. Do the same at arms length say on an unloaded pistol. Make your move to deflect and see if the trigger is pulled in time ... it can't be done .. even knowing your gonna try it. Lets not even get into the fact that now your hand is on the gun .. leverage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just want to make the vid for demonstration sake, not really to make an argument either way. I really have no clue when it comes to self defense applications with knives or firearms.
