Professional assistance or a proper means of defense is recommended.Дisclaimer out of the way, I Figure this might be helpful as I have a little experience. They are much faster and stronger than they seem. On another note, it sounds to me like some dog owners need to be more responsible in keeping their dogs locked up and under control.Дisclaimer: Aggressive dogs are very dangerous, if you go up against a dog unarmed that means to hurt you, there's no way to guarantee that you'll avoid serious injury or death.

I really like the compression lock, it and the backlock are my favorites and Spyderco makes a lot of both. I like Spyderco better myself, good call. As much as I love dogs, I don't trust them one bit after so many bad experiences. Hell today I got charged at by a massive pit bull not knowing he had a chain or not and all I could do was grab a nearby brick since I gave my 940 away. I can't count how many times I've pulled my knife out on a dog (big ones only like XL bullies, German Shepards, and pitbulls) that one of these days I won't be so lucky. In my line of work doing pest control I have an issue with a dog that's either stray, belonging to some neighbor or loose from the customer wanting to tear me apart. The Yo2 intended for self defense seems like it would cause more damage so I would have more faith in the Yo2 when it comes to defending myself since I've had instances with people and large charging at me. However so many people have PM3s and PM2s, I wanted something different. I was going to get the PM3 insteas in S110V with the daek blue scales for only $178 which I noticed was crazy how I would getting more bang for my buck unlike with BM. On my Benchmades I would end up sacrificing blade play for a smoother open/close. The Yojimbo has such a solid lock up there is no blade play whatsoever for the smoothness. I found no QC issues like I would find with BM. Another thing I noticed is the quality and finish of the steel. I like the compression lock so much more since it doesn't have those springs and it is a simpler design where it just feels indestructible.

I gave my 940 to my father in law but after handling this Yojimbo, I'm never going back to BM. I somehow never happened to buy it until now. Before I ever had a knife, the first knife I found appealing was the Yojimbo 2, I loved that wharncliffe blade.

The bevels may extend the full width of the blade (full hollow grind) or only a portion of its width.I had several knives from Benchmade and my latest one was the 940.

Hollow Grind Edge - A blade with bevels that are ground with a concave radius.

Corrosion resistant and extra tough for long lasting sharpness.

CPM S30V - A premium grade knife steel.

Wharncliffe Blade - A blade shape in which the point of the knife tapers downward from the spine to meet a straight cutting edge at the tip.

Textured G-10 scales and a four-position clip guarantee a non-slip grip and rapid deployment from all carry positions. Nested stainless steel liners provide structural strength and form the backbone of the knife's high-strength compression lock mechanism. The PlainEdge straight cutting edge of the hollow-ground blade offers extreme cutting performance by transferring power all the way to the tip and ensures improved point strength. They also encourage a thumb-forward grip and make the 3-1/4-inch CPM S30V blade a natural extension of the hand. The refined ergonomics of the Yojimbo2 complement the natural contours of the hand, ensuring maximum surface contact and positive control. Start of lstUrls_of_images_in_html_descriptionДesigned by noted personal-defense trainer Michael Janich, the Yojimbo2 is an evolved expression of his original Spyderco Yojimbo design, which pioneered the application of the Wharncliffe blade in tactical folders.
