I always carry a knife too. But I would much rather have a baseball bat, tire iron, cane or staff if faced with four gangbangers with knives. The more distance I can create the less likelihood I will be cut. If I use the knife, I will get cut. With a bat, cane or staff, I might get out of it without cuts. But in the end, you use whatever weapon you have a hand to survive.

Get a cane and learn how to use it. If you pulled on knife on any of those guys, they would have sliced you up. A cane can be used to keep a little separation. And no one is going to accuse you of having a weapon. Canemasters has some good videos.
