The public has been told through rumor alone that Jacob Blake was unarmed when he was shot by Kenosha police on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Officials have refused to confirm or deny if Jacob Blake was armed, and so we cannot definitively say if he had a weapon.<\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE: Wisconsin DOJ confirmed Wednesday<\/strong><\/span><\/a> that Blake was armed with a knife.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there is significant evidence to suggest that Blake had a knife.<\/span><\/p>\n

Screenshots from the incident show what appears to be a curved-blade knife, such as a Karambit, in his left hand while he was walking away from officers.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Karambit has a curved blade and a finger hole that is considered ideal for close-up combat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blade HQ<\/strong><\/span><\/a> called a Karambit the \u201cultimate self defense tool.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Some people say it looks like a karambit (curved fighting knife), but I can't tell.<\/p>\n
