Here's something I was thinking about the other day.

A couple of the actors and crew go jogging to help/stay in shape. Well thank you to the intense Az heat they have started running after the show. Which is 11 or so at night.

Now because of the way my mind works...my question to myself (and out loud) was if there was a knife made for self protection that one could carry while jogging...or biking...or something sport-y like that.

So I asked MY resident Knife expert (Ken) if they made such a thing. The closest thing he could come up with was a neck knife. I suppose there are the those K-Bar knives that are supposed to go on your ankle...but I'm not sure I would want to run with that on.

I got thinking about it...Some one needs to come up with a fixed blade knife that a runner could put on there arm while running. They put there iPod and heart meters there why not a knife.

Is there a market for something like that you think?

Hey Ally, I have an updated answer to this post. The other day I was talking with Jesse Lackey (on this site) and he recomended a site that sells mini prybars (http://countycomm.com/widgy.htm) and I got to looking around and encountered a necksheath set up for a Kershaw Leek. When I saw it I thought of you and this post. Here is the demo on youtube that the company put out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymipdCzknes


Enjoy, Eric M. (A.K.A. Senset)

I would use my Endura 2. The clip is strong, it is lighter then the Endura 4 (no steel liners) and I have 4 inches of serated vg-10 steel if needed. I'd clip it to my waistband under my shirt on the front/left side for easy access. I've actually worn it that way while in Martial Arts class (because I forgot to take it off) and it stayed put through throwing and being thrown for 2 hours. I figure if it will stay put for that it might be able to stay put for jogging.

Well if you could fine a street scrapper 5 would be perfect for a fix blade. I think cold steel has some good small-ish fix blades too which are cheaper. http://www.coldsteel.com/bootknives.html this page should have something you are looking for.

I'll probably put a lanyard on a Spyderco ladybug while I run from now on. Very light, small and sharp. Will definitely give me enough time to protect myself if needed and run away.

I'm not really big into tactical knives. One, few people actually take knife-fighting courses prior to owning a tactical blade. If you mess up, you can seriously hurt yourself or kill someone. Two, tactical blades are usually larger and heavier to carry.

Well, I don't think I've heard of anything like this before, but If I had to, I think I would put a wrist band on, and probably anchor an Izula neck knife to my wrist.

I'm gonna have to try that with my cold steel K4 now...

Yea, I don't know about a neck knife. If you are looking at one for a self defense knife, you would have to wear it outside of your shirt. As bad as my BK11 swings around while walking, I'd hate to see it while jogging.

As far as the armband idea goes, I am not aware of any knife specifically designed for that type of carry, but I'd imagine those HAK's wouldn't do too bad of a job. You also mention the iPod armbands... one could always clip a small folder on those bands.
