What's that saying? "Don't put all your eggs in one basket"
I prefer having both.knife and gun on me at all times.on account i never know if I'll walk into a knife fight.or a gun fight.pluss the attacker some times attack.when the intended victim is getting out of their vehicle. Thats where the ignition key comes in at.the key becomes a valuable self defense weapon when propetly held.and when needed.
The key is also valuable as it lets you drive away from the situation.... 
And have some bacon and biscuits too....
(in other words, don't limit yourself to just the common weapons folks think of).
Whenever I'm out at night, I always have a sturdy cane. Not because I need it to walk, but because it's a great way to legally carry around the equivalent of a baseball bat, without turning any heads, and the added bonus of any attacker drastically underestimating who they will be dealing with.

Like I've mentioned many times. There's nothing like a sharp pointy stick. I have them by every door. I'e made them for my daughter too

I've been having knee problems lately. I probably should carry a cane. One of these for example. It's called a "Bubba Stick" and they sell them in Love's Travel Stops. Should be a good noggin knocker.

Oh, my Gosh, my son has the very same cane. It's his Bat Masterson cane.
He takes it in the car and calls it his weapon.
For newbies, my son has special needs and is 26, and loves his Westerns
Cold Steel makes some great "combat ready" canes. Currently, I have a stout sturdy wooden one (which has a wizard's face elegantly carved into it), but I'd love to get one of these.
Funny tidbit, I'm mounting the tip of one of the Universal interactive wands from Harry Potter into it (to look like a gem in the wizard's hat)...so I'll actually be able to do the "spells" in the Harry Potter parks. I love messing with kids' minds and extending their belief in magic for as long as possible.
It's just fun.
For legal ramifications, I'd recommend against sword canes. I have a few, more for collecting, but actually using them could mean a lot more trouble than its worth.

About 20 years ago I was in a situation where I used my knife to save my life. I'll never go anywhere without one.
I have two cold steel tomahawks, They are pretty fun to throw if you hang up some cross cut pine discs. With some practice you can be pretty accurate and at say 5-10 yards they would be truly deadly.
I have a pair of them for shooting, I was given them by a friend. I haven't adjusted like you but I bet they would erm... Pack a punch so to speak
I use (and can throw, despite balance issues) a cheap Coleman camp axe (from Walmart...for $12.00) with reasonable accuracy out to about 12 feet.
Also, an interesting Japanese weapon (that is also quite practical and utilitarian for non-weapon purposes) is called a kyoketsu shoge.
It consists of a kind of double-edged hook-style knife with a 12 foot length of rope attached to the butt of the knife, and this rope terminates with a steel ring on the end.
It sounds horribly ungainly and impractical, but it can be used for offense or defense, it can be used to climb trees and walls, you can tie a prisoner up with it, it can be used to make a snare and/or boobie trap to catch animals for food, the blade can be used to process animals for meat, and so on.
To use it as a weapon, the user should study a martial art called tai-jitsu, as these empty-handed techniques and principles can be applied to many different weapons.

Some one has bujinkan experience. Lol
I categorically deny it, lol.
That’s exactly what a ninja would say.....
