and open the blade. for any use, you need a straight knife (I have an old dive knife I keep strapped to my shoulder strap, good for all sorts of things) but in many ways, it's like carrying a handgun for bear protection in the Rockies, unless you have a heck of a big gun, and a heck of a good shot, your pistol ain't stopping a pissed off grizzly.
