I hope you don't know this from personal experience.

I have an interest in forensic psychology.

Guns are impersonal, which is what makes their devestation so much more horrifing.

Knives are more personal, unless they are used in reckless killings. A real killer who understands knives, makes of their use a veritable dance of marks on the victim that are truly unforgettable. Much like London's Ripper.

Except for when the attacker throws his knife at the intended victim and misses....knife laws on the way.

Stabbing people is an art, man.
I personally don't like regular knives, I prefer döner knives, cleavers and the sort, as they are much more intimidating. You sometimes don't even have to use them. You just feint an attack and your target simply runs away like a pussy.

I really want to show my manliness by crippling a random stranger while (s)he's having a psychotic episode.
