Is Allowing Women to Carry Knives for Self-Defense on Trains in Delhi a Good Idea?

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Knives make poor self-defense weapons.

Not only do you have to get extremely close to your assailant but the knife can quickly be turned against you — not to mention the psychological ramifications of having to stab someone (sometimes repeatedly) less than a foot away from your face.

But Delhi Metro — the rail system serving the expansive and highly populated city in India — will now allow women to carry knives up to four inches for self-defense purposes.

I'm sure it's a good idea to those that may have to defend themselves.

As far as knives being a poor choice, they are perfect when the wolf is in your face and has a grip on you.

The problem is most people don't know or understand knife concepts. Stabbing wound aren't quickly disabling. Slashing that disables muscle groups are.

Watch a few Michael Janich vids and read up on the Philippine concept of defanging the snake".
