Some type of object push someone away can be life saving in an unprovoked knife attack. Usually very fast and very hard to deal with from a self defence standpoint, noice news from London of late. A little bit of space and some time stretch could make a big difference. Some study indicated that such attacks usually last less than 10 sec. if you can stretch out encounter time 30 to 40 sec often perp will disengage. Not taking about risking your life for a wallet or phone - just surviving and unprovoked attack.
