Ryan, try to have a positive attitude. I know it's got to be hard, but Doctors are not all knowing and make mistakes all the time.

F3, the 311 in my opinion would work for what you want it for, but due to it's short length you would need to pick your targets carefully. You would need to concentrate on the softer parts, neck inside of the arm, collarbone area, places where the major arteries and veins are closer to the surface, OR try for disabling the tendons. Short knives have been used successfully MANY times, and are MUCH better than nothing.

Personally I like to carry this.



Course I am just mean sometimes. IF they attack me they have already proved they are not worthy of "Fair Play".

Oh and just for the record I have only been in one knife fight, WAY back. Don't want to do it again, but would if I had to. The only other time is when My vehicle was stopped by some knife wielding thugs but they moved giving me an out so I just charged ahead and got out of there.

Well skunk , even though I love knives my 1st choice would be metal of a different kind!

I hear that!. 5.56, 7.62 or maybe even 12ga.! NOT necessarily in that order. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well 9mm and 5.56 are my 2 choices, and if course as a last resort a baseball looking green thing!!

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> I forgot about the 9mil!

Oh Hey and in your quest, you MIGHT take a look at the SS4(Street Scrapper 4) I've heard several folks say it makes a real nice defense blade. But if you do find one, it won't be cheap.

My hand stays very close to the handle!!

Haha, that green looking thingie might be the BEST choice! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And I like to carry this one some as well.
