I would think in a knife fight a handgun would rule. But I do like good Bowie knife too.In a knife fight the Bowie style rules .
Guns and ammo have come a long way since Jim Bowie's day. Its really a moot point for me anyway, because I can't imagine any situation where I'd ever be within 10-20 feet from someone with a knife intent to do me harm. I do however, carry an automatic knife in my pocket and have been trained how to use it, but I'll stand behind taking a gun to a knife fight anyway.Sorry Artic but, the handgun is at a major disadvantage in a knife fight. ask Jim Bowie if being shot stopped him at the sandbar fight and I can show you video after video of officer and others loosing to a knife when they drew their firearm. At a distance of 20 + feet your at a disadvantage, within 10 feet your probably going to die. Reality is that the knife is a weapon of proximity and is king within 10 ft. In trained hands its even worse. We teach that each tool has its proper fighting distance. A gun is a distance weapon.
