I carry a small fixed blade, mostly as a tool but also as a last-ditch backup to my pistol. I've been in one mugging where both of us had knives (luckily I won but it was absolutely terrifying) and I've had some formal training in their use both overseas and here in the US.

One thing that absolutely is at the forefront of my mind is that cops, through their long experience, tend to almost always view knife-wielders as the bad guys, so there's that factor to consider.
