Stupid people can get hurt easily!

The main problem, I fear, with employing a knife, even as a non-lethal weapon is that, unless you get a jury made up of people who watch "The Best Defense" or any of "The Pincus'" videos, they're going to hear that scary "k-word" and hear NOTHING about the way in which it was employed. 

You must remember, juries are made up of people who aren't clever enough to get out of jury duty.

Personally, I like Bogan's approach.

I have been following this thread and the FOF  thread going on...and I wonder if even a simple FOF scenario with an aggressor just trying this type of weapons grab would have helped feel more comfortable in this situation?

Let you know what moves you could make to keep distance or less than advanced martial arts strikes that would offer discouragement.

It seems that just the fact that "you have been there" would make your decisions more comfortable.

Absolutely!

The benefit of training in context is invaluable.  As long as it is realistic it will most likely help.  Having been there is a great way to feel more comfortable when you are forced to go again.  Just BE SAFE DOING IT!

Stay Safe,
