Re: What To Do Under A Knife Attack
Chinese civilians aren't allowed to own guns so running the best option, either that or 20 years Kung Fu training at the Shaolin Temple. At least your chances of getting shot by a crook there slim to none.

Re: What To Do Under A Knife Attack
Inside of 7 yards, the guy with the knife is going to cut you whether or not you shoot him first. Better have a plan.

Re: What To Do Under A Knife Attack
Exactly.
Learn how to take/turn the first cut so it won't kill you. Then deal with what needs to happen next.

Knife attack survival method #2; Step 1, remove 1911 from holster. Step 2, aim at attacker. Step 3, pull trigger. Steps 4-7, repeat step 3 util attacker falls...

Re: What To Do Under A Knife Attack
worked for me on the streets of NYC, around 1963, living in subways and rooftops. a "band of yuts" were hanging out on a street. words were exchanged and soon there were bottles breaking and switchblades switching, the sound receeding as I beat feet to the subway entrance. I was on a train before the yuts got to the stairs at street level, and they didn't follow. Doubtless because the Yut from the West was far faster than the city yuts. Not to disparage the angel guarding me that day... perhaps he bore me onto the train. It felt like I was flying.

Re: What To Do Under A Knife Attack
I've actually thought about this, and:
I'd turn my right shoulder to the attack and keep elbow to my side. (to keep my innards and heart/lungs a bit more protected.)
Hopefully, I've drawn my EDC and will attempt to perferate the little bastage.
Get a couple rubber knives or rolled up newspapers and play knife fight. It's scary.

Re: What To Do Under A Knife Attack
Agreed, protecting the vitals is... "Vital".
Oh yeah -- scary and enlightening it is for sure!!!
I recall that as teenagers my 3 brothers and I did it once with long-sleeved white t-shirts with rubber knives that were dipped in a sticky mix of ketchup & molasses -- so you could see the red marks where there was a strike or slashes... And there were MANY!!!
My Mom was aghast that we did that -- yet my Dad was sorta impressed (although he couldn't let on about that...) and he said he sure hoped we learned something from that exercise... We sure did... We learned NOT to get into knife fights!!!
One other "trick" that I recall, and it was shown in a western too (maybe it was "Butch Cassidy & Sundance"), is to grab a handful of sand in your non-knife hand, and toss it into the attackers face as he makes a parry! Dirt or small stones would work too, and Massad Ayoob suggests keeping a "handful of pennies" in your pocket for exactly that reason. Distract your opponent! Don't fight "fair" -- fight to win! I believe the info about pennies is from his "In The Gravest Extreme" book * -- an older, but still excellent reading for self defense purposes. If you haven't read it and you carry concealed, I highly recommend it.
Just remember -- don't bring a knife to a gun fight!
* Edit: I just read that Massad's new book -- which replaces "Gravest Extreme" (now out of print) -- is named "Deadly Force: Understanding Your Right to Self Defense".

Re: What To Do Under A Knife Attack
I know what you're saying and why; but the truth is -- there is "a whole lotta gray" between orange and red!
But I'd like to think that those of us who own and use firearms, and train with them, just might be much better prepared to be the "sheep dogs" when needed to protect the "sheep" (which could be our family or friends) from the "wolves" of society.
The day I become a plain old defenseless and unaware "sheep"...........
Well, I'll just stay home in bed...

Re: What To Do Under A Knife Attack
When people get close to me ANYWHERE I look at their hands. Something I picked up working in a prison, and two state psychiatric hospitals. Situational awareness is a very important tool.

Should shooting not be an option (hey, maybe as some say I wouldn't be fast enough on the draw and I can't run far or fast anymore either) I would likely just lift my cane and beat the *** to death. Learning Kali has taught me all kinds of evil things one can to to another with a short hunk of wood.
Sticking that knife out like that gives way too many targets of opportunity. And once disarmed you can take someone apart one joint at a time or just be kind and get it over with in a couple of well delivered strikes.
