Once Rockey Marciano was asked what was the most deadly blow and he said it
was the pole ax. It is not legal in boxing but in a saloon is most useful. Of
course the sucker punch is real effective but there is always a faster gun. The
new martial arts are too much for me. I have had a tripod fracture and that kind
of fighting ruins faces and causes brain damage. You know when you have no
memory of an event it was hard contact. The hard part is to get up and get
away. That's when a knife is indispensable. You could take the deep trails and
defend yourself against critters. I have even whittled a spear with my trusty
buck knife. For years A CRKT Ryan has done many a dirty job. The blade has to
be bitch hard as I have abused it in vile ways. If you are scared of a knife you
should be banned from the outdoors. The city and guns are another matter and I
get really smutty right wing about all that. Bill
