Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we took a look at some of the easiest gifts for people who concealed carry. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I want to look at the idea of having different knives when it comes to self-defense. There are a few different ways of thinking when it comes to knives and concealed handguns.
Whether it’s for cutting open boxes at work or using a blade in everyday life, having a small knife just makes life easier and there’s absolutely a reason to carry a small knife for everyday use. Where things start to get questionable is when you carry a firearm as well as a knife strictly for self-defense. It’s easy to start taking more and more items to carry concealed because you think they are necessary. I will be the first to admit I have carried a knife to cut boxes open and use every day, as well as a self-defense knife and a firearm. It only lasted about two weeks before I dropped back down to one knife. I’ve heard the argument that you want to keep your knife as sharp as possible if you need to use it, but that argument doesn’t make a ton of sense to me if you have a firearm on your person as well.
We don’t cover guns much, since we are a knife blog. That said, a firearm is a key part of many peoples’ EDC setup, and selecting a knife that complements the other tools in your kit is a good thing.
