If you want a boot knife as it's a "_sPy thing" Get a boot knife, people have told you that carrying a knife isn't always wise and if you do, carrying it in your boot is probably the Worse place to do so,Unless you are in fact a spy, in a movie then it will work just fine

When someone says emergencies I think of things like road traffic collisions, people becoming ill, fires etc. you know.... emergencies. If you mean are knives in boots good for self defence situations that's a different thing. One would have to wear boots in all circumstances and that could be awkward.

You know, I have found a boot knife quite helpful a few times when out hiking - once, even, in a minor emergency. So, I'll go with "yes."

Now what was the question?

 

[Gerry Seymour]

I can imagine that would be hard to walk round in after it’s been deployed. Kinda like wearing swimming fins (those things on the feet).

Especially for those of us who habitually cross our legs when we sit.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

This would be more useful than pretty much any weapons discussed lately...

Ah, the old, "Hug your mugger" approach.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

That would be hard to keep in a boot, too.

Unless you're British, then it's much more comfortable if you keep it in the boot.

Carrying a boot knife, is it a good option for self defense in case of emergencies?

It did wonders for Uma Thurman in Kill Bill Vol 2.

Do what you are comfortable doing with knife carry. I habitually carry two knives, one on the belt (1-7/8" blade) and one folder in the pocket and hooked there. I walk with the aid of a cane, so always have that with me.

Not really, no, not even like this.

I saw that on an episode of The Beverly Hillbillies where Jethro wanted to be a 00 agent.

It's simmular to the idea of a neck knife. The neck nife was a small knife on a lanyard on the neck. Used quite extensively across the the american frontier. It' a go to tool in an easy to get to location. The problem is a neck knife swings wildly when you run, and you wouldn't have a big knife around your neck. It became pupular among the natives, and subsequently many mountain men, to carry a large battle friendly, buffalo skinning, wood chopping knife stowed in the buckskin wrap which held the plains style knee high boot moccasins in place. Belt loops weren't common among the Indians and tools often fell out of the belt. Now, the history of American Indians martial arts is pretty spotty, but from what I have been told, if it's not used as a primary weapon, the boot knife was often deployed durring a wrestling match with a stab in the pelvic region. To me, a propper boot knife should be quite high on the lower leg. Think riding boots or cowboy boots. The hand guard should be about knee high. It should take very little bending to get to it. And because yoyr hand is starting so low, the initial attack should be low.

I think so, but I'm so inexperienced in the case

 

[oldwarrior]

Don't carry a knife in the UK as you will have very little defense if you are stopped ...period

I had to Cut a suicide down whilst walking my dog, Not really an emergency , she has been dead a while.

I hate it when that happens.

I think in an emergency the best thing you can have on you is your senses. Yeah, a knife can come in handy, for many things. I have a concealed carry permit, but I am definitely not going to carry something in my boot, unless its a backup. I want to easily and inconspicuously be able to reach my weapon/s.

That being said, I have found a simple pocket knife to be more useful than anything.

In today’s world, most municipalities have legal restrictions on what one can carry. You would be best served to do the research regarding your local laws and choosing your tools accordingly.

IMHO, your senses, constant vigilance & a mobile phone are better tools than a boot knife. But a good simple folder is probably the better tool for well rounded preparedness.
