Bullets run out, knives don't. Also you can't rely on just 1 source of defense guns jam, duds, ammo is limited if any of that happens in a fight and you have no knife or other self defense backup you are going to have a very short bad day that's of course until your final breathe leaves.

But this is coming from me, a prepper point of view.

I got guns, swords, knives, machetes, bows & arrows, primitive weapon making knowledge, spears, etc. Of course that can't all be used for EDC but you get the point.

You're assuming my gun will jam or I'll run out of bullets? I do agree knives are useful, but I'd only use one as a backup. I'm not experienced w/ knives, but I'm definitely a capable shot.
