PUMA Bowie 116396 KnifeLet me start by making a statement. YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET INTO A KNIFE FIGHT! In a good knife fight, no one wins. Many times you won't even know that you are cut, much less how bad.

The baddest guy that I know with a knife is the Pro-staff guy that helped design Browning's Black Label Tactical knives named Jared Wisong.  (Watch the Video in Article)
 

First let's cover a couple of basic knife fighting goals. #1 to Win at all costs.
