Hi folks,
I'm curious what brand of knife others prefer out there, especially between fixed blade and the tactical folding knife.
I recently was given a "Gunting" designed by Bram Frank which I find interesting and fits my needs. It is a knife which is designed to be a self defense tool in the closed position as well as opened up. There is a protrusion (called a ramp) which can be used for locking, as a strike point, pinching and so forth. I like this as it will get you into far less legal trouble than cutting a person to ribbons. I have both the training "drone" and the real, "cut the hell out of you if you aren't careful" version. My description doesn't do it much justice. You need to go to the Spyderco website and check it out for yourself. I find it quite interesting and fits in quite well with what I have learned from Prof. Presas. What do y'all think?

PS - The newest ebook, Advanced Modern Arnis - A Road To Mastery is now out and I have a bunch with me in Buffalo. 211 pages, over 1,300 photos and animated sequences of major drills. It's a beaut. I should have it up for download on my website soon.
