   I recently bought a Benchmade Activator, model 211, sheath   
   knife.  It only has a 2" blade, not much use for slicing up   
   watermelons but handy for almost everything else.   
      
   I found I use it more frequently than my around-the-house   
   EDC because of it's faster deployment and strong handle.   
      
   But I've been a little shy about carry off my property.  In   
   CA you are not supposed to conceal a sheath knife but   
   in order to "qualify" for this restriction the blade must not   
   be be able to stab people.  Odd, but I've heard of a case   
   where a Warncliff (sp?) type blade was not considered in   
   the "deadly" catagory because it's blade was not designed   
   to be able to readily "stab."  But I worry about my drop point.   
      
   Any opinions or suggestions????   
      
   Anybody?  Anyone??

   I'd say a wharncliffe was quite stabby, the CRKT dragon has a similar blade   
   and is marketed as a "tactical" knife.  And we all know "tactical" is just a   
   more PC way of saying "stabby".  I've got one and it's quite nice, but the   
   handle seems a bit cramped to be nimble enough as a fighter.  In saying   
   that, though, I wouldn't like one stuck in my neck.
