If someone had got my knife out of my hand, there wouldn't be much I could do as it would have been my cold dead hand they got it from.
Having been mugged in the past several times, I don't rate there chances. Put 2 of the 5 in hospital last time, they picked on the wrong pizza delivery guy. 20 years of martial arts and a bit of street smarts gives you a bit of an edge.

Tie the boot laces together and throw them over nearest telegraph / phone line seems to be the usual thing to do with trainers. They will never get them back then.
Fortunately I've prepared for exactly this situation by watching the Docudrama that is 'The Hunted'... In this every day tale of former 'black' operative Benicio Del Toro being tracked by his former 'master' Tommy Lee Jones. Benicio in a moment not dissimilar to a Ray Mears episode Finds some scrap steel and following some quick work with a home built forge knocks up a reasonably good 'home made' copy of the Tom Brown Tracker Knife...
This then would be my plan...

knapping would be the way IMHO, if not good knapping stone is avalable I could use glass or ceramic (from a toilette for example) till i can get some steel made knife.
in fact in that case the use of stone tools would be very important, 'cos that way you can keep your knife for when is really needed.
about "The Hunted" i like the tracker alike much more than the original
, but hey, i like almost any knife better than the tracker

Good question Andy.
Provided they don't nick my boots I'm OK though.
I carry a spare one stashed in my boots.
And yes, I'm bored too.

You are never too far from a glass bottle, so I would start with that. Then go looking for some steel, the go a hunting....
I'm definitely in the JonathanD camp.

when ever i'm out, i allways have the dogs with me, my bullmastiff rottie mix, my American bullterrior and my bullterrior between the 4 of us, i think we would be keeping our tools, and gaining a few, of the little toerags, who plucked up the courage to have a go, i watch my dogs hanging of there tyre all the time, and it sends shudders down my spine, i would not want them three hanging of me, i can tell you, it would not be a pretty sight.
and my god my American bullterrior can run.

I would whip out my cell phone and order one. Have it FedExed overnight. Along with 50 lbs of summer sausage from Hickory Farms.
Ah , Jerry Ahern , you forgot to don your Mirrored Aviators and torch up another cigarillo to clamp down on and grimace alot...
I find it's the little Nicknack's you have around that make life that little bit easier, when out in the wild.
