Best blade.....
The ultimate question is what is the best blade and the answer is always the one you have with you!
We were running wih our dogs and were attacked by 2 pit bulls. They went after our dogs and then went for us. Before today I always carried a pistol with me when running as well as a Spyderco native in my waistband. For whatever reason I decided not to bring my gun but took the knife today. Once attacked and seeing they meant to harm us, I stabbed both dogs in the neck and chest. One I got in the jugular and carotid, he finally backed up and as I stabbed the other , I got bitten on the hand but got him again and he backed away. They finally ran away , I called 911 and reported it. The police followed the blood trail around the block to a house, found one dead and the other died while they were there.
Moral of the story, always be able to defend yourself. Picture will be attached, thanks Sal!

If POTUS were here, he'd be scolding you for wasting good meat . . .

To repeat - "Hand OK?" A surgeon sticking his hand in a meatgrinder.  Bet next time you won't leave the gun behind .
__________________
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)

Hand is fair, 1/2 inch laceration and one puncture but big bruise from the bite force. One dog got bitten twice but seems okay the other was able to defend herself well. My girlfriend was kicking the one attacking my bigger dog so I guess it was enough to keep it off of my dog until I could deal with it.
And yes the pistol will now always be mandatory running gear. It was funny one of the cops thought I was kidding when I said I usually run with my gun, I showed him my rig and he's ordering one

What rig do you use for running?

Glad the injuries weren't worse. You should send the owners the medical bill for the sutures!
