Why? He has a family and a right to defend himself both personally and professionally. I’m not defending the egregious attacks that officers have perpetrated but there are legit reasons for drawing a weapon.
I dont know Doug personally, but after reading him on the forums for the last 10 years, he seems to know his shit.
If I’m misunderstanding your perspective and you are making more of a social commentary then I apologize for calling you out. It’s easy to misconstrue opinions in the world that we live in today.

I think it's theoretical. Doug will shoot an attacker before thinking fillets.

I’m not sad.
I take the personal responsibility of being able to defend myself. I don’t expect anyone else to do it for me, but if they are available, I will take it.
The world has never been a safe place. Even the most primitive of animals have the ability to defend themselves.
Humans are just the only ones that believe that they’re above it.
That's right. Come to the States and find out what Minnesota Friendly really means. ???

No shit, by tonight I will have three families under my roof with a couple more people still thinking about hiding out here until the protesting/rioting is over. We're right by DC.
My friends and family know my house is basically a fortress, so it's always a party here when shit goes down.

I’ve got a few microtech otf but i think the benchmade infidel series is better for self defense. Sturdy and intuitive deployment.

I’ve handled the Infidels and I wasn’t overly impressed. The blade rattled, the handle was thicker but didn’t seem to add anything to the conversation but weight, and the Dirac has the same cover firing mechanism.
Their customer service is better than microtechs though

My brother and family lives in Minneapolis about 5 minutes from the 5th Precinct. We've had-discussions- about owning arms in the past, and after last night I believe he's had an epiphany.

I’m looking at buying my first high(er) end knife this summer. There are a number of Spyderco knives that have caught by eye including an iteration of the Native, but does anyone have intel on or experience with Bestech?
Their Pebble knife is very attractive and is the sort of size I’m looking for. It also has what I think of as a utilitarian blade which will suit my everyday needs …

I know that the Bestech Junzi has had some great reviews over at Hennie, not handled one in person though. I have one of the UK legal Hinderer’s which I really like but I would say that the quality of the Spyderco stuff is second to none and the leaf shaped blade looks non-threatening and is pretty practical for edc imo.

Bestech seems like they’re one of several knife companies out of China that are using some impressive levels of machining to make knives out of okay flavored steels.
I’m a noob in this particular area. What you’re saying is that the high quality of machining, of average metals gives a decent blade at a lower price? Or is the steel going to start out well but lose degrade?
@Cutlasshound i actually find the Spyderco blades scary looking [emoji1] very attractive, but scary looking. I’m leaning towards Spyderco for sure, as the variety available, even in Norway, is impressive so choosing something in terms of size, practical application and quality is not a problem. The only area in which choice is poor with Spyderco is colour, not my biggest priority for a 100-300USD knife though.
Typically these things are very expensive here, but ordering from abroad will incur heavy customs duty so the difference is not huge at the end of the day. I have a fixed blade hunting knife, and general outdoors knife already, both domestically made and of decent enough quality. My edc is an inexpensive Gerber Scout and a vintage SAK with grooming attatchments. So I’m looking for upgrades to those and well as something with a decent locking mechanism I can have with me for carpentry/building work.

@neph93 I'd go with the Spyderco for sure.
If you want to try a work around on the duty by ordering to the UK and having it sent on, I'd be happy to help
