Does having a sturdy knife on your person imbue you with a profound, but somehow unidentifiable, sense of security?

Whether handling a dagger, stiletto, or bolo, you’ll learn the knife’s purpose and how to use is properly while keeping the blade clean and yourself safe.

And now more than ever we will need to take his lessons seriously, as understanding what to expect and how to adapt will increase the odds for survival.
