A magazine isn’t the only thing that can take down a knife. Ballpoint pens work really well, too. Once I was hanging out with my girlfriend and realized that something was wrong (her words). When an assassin trying to kill me burst through the window blasting a gun, I was able to dislodge the weapon, but he then pulled out a knife. I grabbed a simple ballpoint pen and jabbed it into his hand, completely overpowering him. Knives—they’re totally overrated.
