It will bounce around a lot unless you have a very smooth stride. People who land on their heels probably won't like them. I don't know how much deterrence a little old Swick will be to someone dumb enough to attack a random jogger. It's not real intimidating. If the attacker is human, my first choice would be to keep running, only faster. Anyone who attacks you thinks he's got a big edge or he's bat**** crazy. Either way, I want to be elsewhere.
To be honest, I worry a lot more about lightning, rattlesnakes, mountain lions, and dogs than I do about people. Heck, I worry more that I'll break my leg out in the boonies and nobody, crazy or not will wander by ....

I run 5-7 days per week, usually for about an hour per workout. I have carried a VG10 Delica frequently while running, sometimes in a small pocket of hydration belt (preferred), sometimes IWB. I sweat a lot and even when carrying IWB I've NEVER had rust problems. The only corrosion problems I've had with VG10 were with an Endura that was lost for 2 years on a dirt road and eventually was found. The blade was in pretty good shape even after many rain/snow/mud baths. Replaced the liners and sharpened the blade and it was good to go.

It would definitely work and could be secured to avoid bouncing around. Same goes to something of an ankle sheath with a slim blade.
Problem is that fixed blades are often illegal even if an acceptable length.

Ya i totally agree about the dog over human. Honestly im going to rely on my fist in most situations.
Like someone said above, its very quick and you need something that can be deployed fast and with little mental effort, second nature...then again, i can do this with all my Spydies.
My gf makes fun of me for flinging my spydies out on the couch everyday, but if could make a difference one day...
