You are safer without a knife

[Rhyfelwyr]

Well, the problem is that if one nutcase carries a knife, whether its to aid him in crime or just to look cool, everyone else in in danger.

And unless you have some Chuck Norris style roundhouse kicks up your sleeve, then the person with the knife will have a big advantage when it comes to attacking you.

Depends on how many chevrons you have and what your stats are

And don't forget your animations of course. Two handed weapons are only useful against mounted opponents (ie on a bicycle).
