Mora knives.

The pointy ones
Literally any chef's knife and plenty more. However if you have never Googled "tactical kitchen knife" then you don't know what contempt and discomfort truly are

10" chef's Fibrox from Victorinox.

I know someone who was stabbed in the chest with a 10" Henckels chef knife. Was high and to the right of his heart, just missing the one of the arteries on the left or a couple. Coratid or left subclavian. He said it only penetrated 3" though.
He got the knife back and has it framed with a pic of the X-rays. Cool guy, crazy ex-girlfriend.
But in answer to your question, any "full tang" knife should do. Aim for the throat.

This is bad advice. Kitchen knives are not for stabbing and any point they have is merely aesthetic/for picking up pieces of raw meat by poking them. Kitchen knives are for one of three things, slicing, chopping, or sawing. If you're using a "standard" kitchen knife you should be slashing for under the arms, between the thighs, and below the ribs. If you aim for the neck you will find either jaw or breast bone.
Any "Boning Knife" is pretty deadly

>all those pockets and holes to collect grease, meat, and organic matter that will fester and go toxic
Come the fuck on.
any of the sturdier meat knives would do fine
You can instantly tell a high quality steel knife if the blade is firm and doesn't wobble. I have several at home.

Just leave out Butchers knives, breakers and slicers why don't ya. My victorinox scimitar has made short work of some big ass salmon and a 14" old hickory is nothing to scoff at.
Also anything used by the japs in a fish market. Some of those things are buster swords that make pizza knives look tame
>>34555820
Do you by any chance live in a double-wide?

No experience fighting with those cause mom didn't have them, so I left them out.

That is not a retarded question by any means. A kitchen knife is the most dangerous tool somebody without guns will have handy in his home for self defense purposes. It is also the most innocent and least "premeditated" looking tool.
That said OP I am unironically a kitchen knife collector and used to be interested in knife fighting for home defense. Some of the best knives you can get would be a Wusthof Classic with the full bolster and mayby a 6'' blade (not longer, it will be too unwieldy, poorly balanced and will snap off more easily). A really good knife would also be the large chef's knife from this series (pic related) from Tupperware. You may have to look on ebay for them, I know German ebay used to be flooded with dozens of them. Really sturdy blade, comfy handle and rather tailheavy which is not something you would want in a kitchen knife acually used for cooking but is good for a fighting knife.

How much would a sushi sword cost? Can it double as a regular sword?
Regardless, I want one.
>>34556355
That thing has no character

I sharpen the fuck out of my knife what are you on

Statistically there's probably been more people fucked up, stabbed and chopped with kitchen knives than crazy urban youths with flick or flip knives. Its a very go-to choice in domestic violence

Oh boy you're not wrong, that's an absolutely terrible kitchen knife!
I guess if you're looking for some kind of double duty in a kitchen knife that would also dismember someone in your house, something with a thicker spine would be better than the thinner ones. Typically on most kitchen knives I'll make with a 1.5-2mm spine across the top- they're slicers, they slice stuff and generally 9 x out of 10 the stuff you're slicing isn't wriggling around so it doesn't really need that very high, lateral rigidity when being murdered in your own home which would cause breakage. It needs to be light and sharp- plus often I'll generally temper it to be very hard (around the 60-62HRC) which is conducive to breakage when rammed into a squirming target.
A couple of very heavy duty, professional knives I've made with a 2.5-3mm spine cross section- really deep, thin hollow grind, very sharp, but not as much lateral flexibility as some people personally don't like that in their primary knife. They'd be perfectly suitable to chopping, slicing and stabbing someone in the process of being murdered by them, or good enough to kill 2-3 people with and probably not snap off the tip or some other malfunction.
The other secondary use knives are probably a little better for killing people than a chef's knife and any of the heavy knives in a butchers (breaker, cimeter) are options as well
>Boning and filleting knives- very sharp, tough, very pointy
>Petty knife- bit more rigidity, generally sharp
>4" Paring for the pointy, ease of use stabbing factor
>Clever, because a few swipes with that its time for the hospital
So if you had to, a well appointed kitchen has a myriad of objects that would kill or incapacitate someone

Those things are expensive. and I mean REALLY expensive, well over $10.000.
>>34551702
You're an idiot.
Most stabbings, stabbing deaths are done with the average kitchen knife.
