Hehe, I'm a bit of a knife person as well.
However, I just want to point out that knives are also legally the same level as guns. It's viewed as a deadly weapon. So, I would be sure to read up on whatever laws available surrounding that.
Psychologically, knives are also more difficult to handle. With a gun, most people at least have the luxury of distance and getting it over with fairly quickly. With a knife, you have get up close, you have to cut and watch people bleed. Worse yet, most are not mentally prepared to Be Cut in the off chance of being over-powered and them using your own weapon against you.
So, believe it or not, knives actually require much more training than even guns, because the use of it guarantees that you have to be within arm's reach of your assailant(s).
Just throwing it out there....
