For something pretty/for fun, an Italian stiletto, for something functional, KA-BAR

Stay gold pony boy

>>34218659
I know it would be stupid to use it for such a thing no matter what, but could you easily use a stiletto to fight?

>>34219267
Stilletos were designed for penetration. It is NOT and EDC. The blade is designed to be long and thin so stabbing would be incredibly lethal. It defines a fighting knife.

The ones you've all posted are pretty nice, but I reckon a trench knife would be very, very effective in a knife fight.

inb4 someone calls pattern welded steel "damascus"

but yeah either way those are sexy, the kukri is a good knife for shit like pattern welding or engraving because of the fat shape

>>34221554

Anybody who knows anything know that 99.99% modern "Damascus" is just pattern welding and the remaining 0.01% is an attempt to recreate the real stuff. Unfortunately the term is so entrenched that it's just easier to use it and be pendantic later.

>>34221936
Been to gun shows with that fake damascus shit. Little ass knives with the grain texture. Suprised people still fall for it. They'll be mad when their edge curls I'm sure of that.

>>34221936
Couldn't a scientist just take an actual Damascus knife and figure out the needed materials and the ratios and the method used to manufacture it. I mean we fucking have modern technology I don't know why a bunch of people say it's impossible to recreate actual Damascus steel.

Finnish blades. When you absolutely positively have to chop and carve every motherfucker in the woods accept no substitutes.

Also +5 damage against communists.

About to get my first Nepal made Kukhuri, a British service No. 1 to be specific.
Really excited for it.

>>34224099
I find the Skrama to be a wristrapist. It's missing weight in the front makes it hard to use use a proper chopping technique. For everything else it gets straight A's.

>>34224113
It's the best budget option hands down. Grab it when you can.

>>34224532
Made from Wootz steel, but I'm not sure if it's regular Iron that makes the steel or not.

>>34224532
There is no "special iron" iron is iron.

There is a Wikipedia article on Wootz steel and how it's made.

Karambit, because I don't like to pretend my knife is a jack of all trades, it's fun to practice with, the blade is never or rarely facing you, it's easier to rip and tear from the bottom up than from top to bottom, your wrist is protected from fixation basically by default

Excellent taste. Too bad a genuine one is $1000+

>>34224532
Wootz steel reproduction isn't widely known, but its been done a few times. And yes, special iron very high in micro-alloying minerals and substances was used, don't listen to them

>>34229781

I don't play counter strike, but I've seen the cosmetics for the game. I loved karambits long before this new cs came out with flashy skins and shit

>>34229758
Stab>cut fags like to to make fun of people who think karambits or khukris make particularly good defensive weapons because there design makes them good only for slashing/chopping.

Puukko and russian variations of puukkos are the best knives.
1. Finnish-type knife, aka "engineer's puukko", "paratrooper's puukko" or "frogman's puukko". Produced by Trud factory, Vacha, USSR.
2. NA-40 (military knife) or NR-40 (recon's knife) - first knife adopted as a weapon in Red Army. Manufactured by many factories and workshops. The main producers were the factory of instruments in Zlatoust and Trud factory in Vacha
3. Norvegian-type aka NKVD knife. Manufactured by Trud, given to the NKVD members (like border guard and recons) as an EDC tool. Based on P. Holmberg's knife

>>34232797
That's not a sheepsfoot though

Grosse messer, main gauche, or anything with a clip point.

I think most people were assigned it in middle school anon, most Americans at least, I'd say it was my second favorite book I read for school, my most favorite being Frankenstein.
