Carry a Knife - Save a Life™
A 6-year-old Texas boy survived an attack by a mountain lion after his father defended the boy with his Spyderco Caly 3.5 one-hand opening folding knife.
The father, Jason Hobbs, posted on the Spyderco Forum, "I credit my EDC caly 3.5 with saving my 6 year old son's life last night. A mountain lion attacked outside of the restaurant at the Chisos Mountain Lodge in Big Bend National Park. It attacked quickly and ferociously from the brush near the sidewalk, and pulled him away from my wife, into the brush near the sidewalk. I turn and ran to my son, finding the lion clamped on his face. It didn't respond to bare fist pounding, so I went for my knife and stabbed the lion in the chest. The blade went in easily and fully, and the lion came off my son and ran off into the woods."
River Hobbs suffered non-life-threatening scrapes and puncture wounds to his face in the Sunday attack (see below). He was treated and released from an Alpine hospital.
Knife Rights congratulates Jason on his defense of his son and we send along our payers for a full recovery by River. Remember, Carry a Knife - Save a Life™ This is a perfect example of why Knife Rights is fighting for our right to own and carry man's oldest and most versatile tool.
