Long thin blade, stabs are 90% of lethal wounds, can penetrate Kevlar.

Yes it's a stiletto point blade, while the Applegate has a more broad blade.

What if you're limited to just a knife? Sykes or applegate?
>>33906356
The knife won't make any serious difference, the better trained fighter will win whether he has a thousand dollar Damascus steel knife or a kitchen knife. In an equal matchup whoever has the more reach will win.
>>33906367
What if all factors are equal, it's two guys who are clones of each other? One has sykes one has applegate, who is fight in favor of and why?
>>33906062
Get out of your basement dude...
>>33906371
Reach includes the weapon, anon. Literally whoever had the longer knife would win. They're both perfectly capable fighting knives, getting stabbed with one will put you out of the fight just as well as the other.

The Fairbairn Sykes has a reputation for being fragile.
