DING DING DING! CORRECT!

I remember in a self defense class the instructor saying if your assailant has a knife you ARE going to get cut, the point is to survive

[Fishface]

Sure, but he was talking about being attacked with the knife, right? Not attacking someone else? Or did this version of self-defense involved slashing them up with a pointed object?

yes but even if you were defending with a knife, you would get cut. Essentially knife fights always end in cuts

[Fishface]

That certainly stands to reason.

[K.A.]

If you're going to stab someone with a knife, make sure it has an actual hilt, with a guard. A kitchen knife doesn't, so your hand can slide down the handle onto the blade when the knife comes to an abrupt halt.
