very good for self defense if you know good technique. I am an instructor of a karate school, and also teach traditional weaponry. this is my choice of weapon for home defense. I don't have to worry about a stray bullet hitting my children if my home is broken in to at night. also, I don't worry as much about a kid getting a hold of this like I would a gun. and with good technique, you can give the word "disarming an opponent" a whole new meaning.

I definitely wouldn't want to fight against it..lol unless I have a gun. It will definitely dismember a person

You"ll be crazy to use this for self or home defense for it is long and unwieldy, especially in the hallway. Even in a bedroom, you'll end up chopping up furnitures, instead of the intruder(s). Not to mention if there are more than one bad guys with guns, you're toasted. Get a gun if you're serious about HD.

It is for self defense. Don't know snot whether or not a school would allow it

Well, I guess you could...but it is more for slashing and hacking than throwing. If that is what you would do to a threat, I suggest getting throwing knives or a small hatchet.

This pistol is for target practice only! it's not made for home/ self defense, you need a real pistol...

Absolutely....should the need arise God forbid, this sword will easily handle either a strong sideways slicing blow, or a forward motion stab. It comes quite sharp out of the box, but as a collector I always like to put my own edge to it. The point will go thru a lot more than just soft flesh. This is a very vicious sword, and far from being anything to play with. I do however have one suggestion to make and that is to find a good strong military grade paracord, or something very similar and wrap the handle to give it a better grip. As it is the grip is a bit thin for bigger hands like mine. It not only provides for better gripping power, but also helps to soak up any moisture from sweating hands. Just be sure that your wrap is very tight and very even, and that your tie-off is at the back end of the handle. You can even use the ring as a tying point. All-in-all.... I would not want to be facing the business end of this sword. It is double edged, it is very sharp, and will easily dispatch even the largest of attackers. The throwing knives are not sharp on the edges and do not seem to want to sharpen no matter how hard I try. They do have a good point and would stick if thrown properly. I'm not a thrower so I cannot make suggestions or give any kind of worthy advice. But I can recommend the sword to anyone looking to add to their collection, or add to their self defense arsenal.

The one you got is for training purposes and contains a solution that is something like deionized water or saline solution. It is only very mildly irritating and won't stop anyone from attacking you. You should keep this inert can and use it to train. It will allow you to predict how the real thing will react when you use it. Set up some human sized targets and set an attack scenario and use the inert can on the targets as if you are defending yourself. This way you will have at least some idea of how far away you can be while still being able to hit a person in the face with your real pepper spray once it come in the mail and all without risking getting the real thing in your own eyes and mouth. Also I strongly suggest you don't allow frustration with getting the wrong thing to convince you to go to a big box store and get some cheap generic junk pepper spray.

Yes would recommend this knife keep in mind this is primarily a utility knife { pocket toolbox } that depending on user's knowledge and training or experience could easily become a tactical / fighting knife.

this knife is more of a survival knife it is extremely durable and well built, if you want a combat knife look at the LMF II by Gerber. This knife is definitely not for daily carry it is to bulky therefor it cant really be used for defense. If you are looking for a tactical fixed blade knife go with a cold steel kobun. I love that blade it is extremely sharp, way sharper than the gerber when it arrives. hope my response can aid you in the search for a fixed blade knife

It is strong but I think you will be ok. Just practice taking off your firearm if that's what your using it for

No worries about zapping yourself. It has a tiny on/off switch on bottom to deactivate. In order to activate actual zap you have to slide switch on side of unit with your thumb. Yes, it is very effective against an assailant thru their clothing. I have carried varied versions of these for over 30 years. These are also popular with bouncers in nightclubs. Usually the sound coupled with the visual electrical discharge will dissuade the person in question from proceeding any further.

It can be worn as a piece of jewelry, but I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to use it in a self-defense situation. The weird alignment might lead to a broken finger bone or knuckle.

Storm,These throwing knifes are some of the best pieces of equipment I ever invested in. To answer your question yes perfect for self defense close quarter combat, and throwing distance of 30 feet. These are professional throwing knifes so if you are a beginner at throwing knifes and what to start I recommend that u buy throwing knifes called perfect guide for beginners.

Plenty of answers for you....and jokes for that matter. Just wanted to say that if fighting is the primary purpose then there are better/lighter/faster choices. If you need a tank bushcraft or camping/survival knife that you certainly can fight effectively enough with........THEN YES, it's good for any kind of defense.

Ideal for a convicted felon who cannot legally posses a firearm. If you like close quarters combat, it is very practical. Also good for the zombie apocalypse. Hope this helps...

honestly it's mostly for the looks. And it does look pretty cool. But it also is used for breaching a door or called the DNA catcher for close quarter combat. It is pretty sharp and really easy to install.

It certainly will be good for self defense just not very practical. Furthermore, depending on the state you live in, it may not be legal to carry on a regular basis. Check your state penal code on that. Notwithstanding, it is a good knife and keep in mind that it was designed for underwater use against large animals in their element, I think it would hold up fine against an assailant.
