Here we take another look at using a backpack (if you carry one) as a synthetic ally and a possible way to fend off a knife attack, if no other weapon potential is available to you.
First line against any weapon or threat disparity is escape, avoid, evade, de-escalate but if not and fight is the only option and there is no force multiplier to hand that would allow you to even the odds, then using a bag of structural integrity to fend off then strike from a stun & run perspective is an option.
For the younger, teen generation at school or college all carry a backpack, now sadly within the younger generation knife incidents are just as rife, if not more so, as they are within the rest of the social demographic.
Learning how to use anything you carry, as well as what's of use around you is a necessary thing for all now. Especially if you live in a place where your GOD given right to protect yourself, has been replaced with unlawful man-made, immoral restrictions that leave it citizens totally defenseless against those who arm regardless and seek to hurt others!
